Well, I decided to buy myself a birthday present. It's a 2004 GTO six speed with 63,000 miles. It's practically stock, just has a Corsa catback, cold air intake, short throw shifter, 4.10's, and a tune. Obviously it's not a Tbird but I like it.

I like the new GTOs as they don't stand out, making them a sleeper.

Lol, the Camaro is my cousins, whenever a camera is out he thinks his car has to be in the picture. Don't worry, there's a 2008 Super Snake behind one of the garage doors.

I agree, it looks stock but with sticky tires it will easily go low 13's if not high 12's.

Haha, I disagree about it being ugly. It's a quasar blue '97 that looks brand new but to each their own I guess.

I made a couple passes on the dyno earlier. The GTO made 303 hp and 320 ft. lbs. and peaked around 5500rpm. I will be buying a tuner immediately, whoever tuned this thing is an idiot. It's WAY WAY WAY lean. The printer was being stupid so I wasn't able to get a printout but should have it in a couple days.

a better tune and some fresh plugs and you should see a lot better numbers than that.. 303 isn't too bad for being way lean though

I agree, the tune is garbage. I have no idea how somebody can get a tune this far off on a stock car.

amateurs maybe? lol i'm no tuning expert, i play too much.. that's why i send all my tuning work to someone else.. but that's pretty bad to tune it that far off and leave it that way

Yowza. 303 on a lean tune. Pretty stout rig. It makes me happy seeing the back wheels on the dyno like God intended.

Yeah, it runs pretty well. I'm not kidding when I say it's lean, it was over 14-1 on the last pull.
