granny car? this is why i love the gto, cuz most ppl think it's a grand prix and have no idea what they're going up against! nice car btw! PS > i liked the exhaust!
You have a nice car and good numbers, but there is something wrong. My buddy has an 05 6.0L with a completely rebuilt engine, no forced induction or spray, and has a safe 500RWHP tune. He could have a more aggressive tune and have roughly 530RWHP. You have twin turbos and are making 545RWHP.... Get what I am saying?? You need a video showing your engine with 2 turbos. Until then you have 1 turbo.
@DatMoeFugga Nope, it's got twins. I now have a 385 forged engine with an ffi cam from ed curtis. And heads. Still just at 550. Honestly, the turbos are too small for the engine. Not pushing enough air I'm guessing. I'll work on it after Iraq.
You gotta admit, these year GTOs follow the musclecar formula to a T. RWD mid-sized car with a potent V8. The style of the body is just a matter of opinion. I think it looks like a Grand Prix, which gives it kind of a sleeper vibe. Of course it doesn't have the character of the original, but no car today accurately represents it. They may have the recipe of a muscle car, but not the brutish character of a solid lifter big block thru a 4 speed on narrow bias plies
rthomas34 I know what you mean about drone - I dropped the rear mufflers on my E500 - sounds wicked on the noise but low rpm in higher gears is gets right into the ear - which of course doesn't matter when your into it and toasting a rex or some other tryhard. Not into my Holdens (Australia) but well done on dropping a couple of snails on the old girl.
@keithjackson302 Agreed. Though it sounded much better outside. I got rid of the straight pipe set up and added some dynamax bullets. Much better noise now and has significantly cut down on drone.
To think holden as just finish prodution of there all new alloytec direct injected v6 engines in 3.6 liter and smaller 3 liter. in there new 20billion dollar v6 engine plant in melbourn ,,1000KLM to a tank of fuel for the 3.6/ 225kw .the most efficient engines ever poduced in australia
Hey there 450hp202turbo take it easy ---- seems like you have a loose Kangaroo biting your arse.
The GTO is a nice looking car no matter who the hell makes it .
However if the next generation Chev Impala comes out with rear wheel drive and the Corvette big block motor ----- Holden will be able to keep all their cars for the Down under home market .
nah its really not an import, it has a pontiac symbol on it from the factory and a gm motor so, no its not. ive read all ur whinny posts in several threads and still dont understand what ur tryin to prove, if GM bought the rights to a fkn honda accord and rebadged it its now a GM car.
your a dead set fuck head thick as a house brick , the fucking point is holden in australia built the fucking car and when it goes to you dumb fuckers in america holden in australia fit the grill and the gto bagers so you stuped fuckers guy it! end of story . shit for brains,,,
Rthomas, nice TT... is this the STS kit? Did you do it yourself or take it down to Utah? I've got an 05M6GTO myself and was considering a Procharger or Magnacharger, but the STS TT would give super crazy power by comparison. Did you do any driveline upgrades like solid driveshaft & thicker halfshafts? How much did it run you? Sorry for all the questions. :P
Thanks for the compliment. The STS is a single rear-mounted kit. This is the GEN-TTR kit. I have upgrades out the wazoo. single piece drive-shaft, upgraded half-shafts, kaaz rear, harrops cover, pedders street II suspension package, etc. The only thing really left to do is mod the engine. Forge and re-tune. I also plan on doing a mini-tub once I get back from my next deployment.
Pushrod engines do not suck, by far the push rod has been around much longer then OHCs.
True efficiency is "better" with an OHC but adds more parts to an engine thus upping the percentage of a failure over an engine that has less moving parts like a pushrod engine.
What current mass production engine makes more power then the current LS GM engine at the same general cost? Or by that matter Factory crate engine, even Fords Alumnator a MOD engine is barely comparable.
No so Marine, GM only has a "Majority Stock" control over Holden not ownership, I think it has something to do with Aussie law "Indigenous industrial means" or something like.
If you dig deep or just E mail GM you will find the word "subsidiary" rather then the word "owned".
At the every least it's a Chevy via the engine, not a Pontiac. 3M stickers dont make a car!
dude who gives a crap youre on every freakin gto vid proving it's an australian import. its in the U.S., it has an all american tranny and engine, and who gives a crap if it came from down under, its still a badass car and GM showed those aussies how to turn it into a real car that actually sells, nobody wanted the monaro in australia
@ramairgto72 The Holden Monaro was NOT borne from the Commodore. Monaros have been on our roads since 1968. The first Commodore didn't roll off the production line until 1979.
@AustraliaYouBeauty The underpinnings of a Monaro "3rd gen" is a 2 door Commodore "V" body! It's obvious the 68 Monaro is not a 2004 Holden GTO, however the constant evolution of the name led to the "V". I would love to split hairs with you if you wish!
@ramairgto72 Not interested in splitting hairs with you mate, but I think it was important to let others know that the Monaros origin didn't begin with the Commodore. "Borne from the Commodore" makes it sound that way to those that aren't aware.......which would appear to be many. No offence meant. I'm quite impressed with your Holden knowledge.
@AustraliaYouBeauty My intention was not to attach the origins of one of Holden's greats with the "V".
Holden is a world class car maker, the cars made by Aussies have been better then other cars makers with much more Money backing. The Holden "V" was a pinnacle in duel roll or "Pro Touring" "Drag" factory car. This car is an Aussie car, and the respect should be given to Holden, & not what it was falsely portrayed to be.
@ramairgto72 I know that wasn't your intention, but those that don't know any better (Yanks & Poms) would take it that way simply because of the way you phrased it.
Holden a world class car maker? No argument from me. I love them and am proud that it's an AUSTRALIAN company......."he says as he looks for Landcruisers on carsales.com." LOL.
@AustraliaYouBeauty Dude you seen Rainbow in concert!? That's bad ass! AC/DC is my fav group, another "great" from Australia! Sucks that when AC/DC did Black Ice tour I was short for the $200+ ticket for next to exit seats! I was so pissed that I didn't have the money or time to go that I totally missed the 2nd tour they did on the back of the first, that was much, much, much cheaper. They need to stop squandering their gift and push out more albums!
@ramairgto72 Yes mate. 1976. I remember it like it was yesterday. Accadacca created a rod for their back when they made Back In Black. They haven't been able to top it since. However, I must admit, I'm not a huge fan. Just not heavy enough for my taste. Producing more albums isn't their problem. All their music sounding the same is.
lol so full of your self ! plenty of people give a crap ! gm usa showed us jack shit . we built it! a real rear wheel drive car like we have done for years. front wheel drive is for 3 - 4 cyclinder cars. holden allso had there own thumping 5liter and 5.7 liter v8 engines, production stoped in 1998-99 as it was not feasible to continue production ,as cheaper chevy engines/tran could be imported
you do realize no one in australia wanted a monaro right...$60,000 car wasnt worth it to the aussies. so GM took a car that was about to go out of production, put the beating heart of an all american ls1 and t56 tranny, and sold more in the US than they could ever hope to sell in australia. also if they brought the monaro as it was with the price tag it had to the US, no one would buy one, sorry buddy, so cool your jets.
That's not right at all. Most people wanted one because they are an awesome re-incarnation of an aussie icon from 1968. Also, 3 years before the monaro was slightly altered to become the gto, it already had the ls1 and t56 courtesy of GM. And even with the pontiac badge, these cars were assembed by blokes called Wazza and Kev in a factory in south Aus. And they'd probably be pretty pissed off if everyone is calling them american cars. It's like calling a Bentley 'German' or a Jaguar 'Indian'...
look, Holden as a whole is an aussie devision of GM. GM has plants all over the world as does Ford. The Motor, tranny, and badges are GM USA. The suspension tuning and body are GM Australia. Either way you put it, its a GM car as a whole. Why do people always try to put divisions on things? Its an Epic GM car that will go down in history as one of "GM's" greatest accomplishments, not as America's or Aussie's. Its one of GM's best. Lets just leave it at that.
I can agree on that, but as an Aussie it's nice to think of at least one of the modern holden models as 'ours'. But good point - beast of a car, 'nuff said.
@mtooshort20 Tell me why Holden has it's own stock exchange name and symbol if it's "owned" by GM!?
Not one part of the Holden GTO was made in the US, the engines were cast in Canada and the rest was Holden! This was Holden's idea, and sold as something else! Holden's team didnt even see fit to use the word "Pontiac" on the car until more then half of the entire model run, and only after people bitched about what it was not!? I don't care what some suit says to sell cars, it's an Aussie import!
plenty more thats just a few of the top of my head .. i am not proud of the term gto as its a american 70s muscle car brand name. these cars are realy well built aussie style
the term or badge gto was just used to sell them to the dumb as americans,
"the term or badge gto was just used to sell them to the dumb as americans,"
i think thats funny. if it were for us dumb ass american's *ass, not AS* then there wouldn't be a car to begin with, right? and if this were a REAL gto...us american's would have been MUCH happier. as it was, we SETTLED for this. it's a great car...i even own one...but it certainly isn't a true GTO by any means.
we will believe anything? i'm kind of confused. most of us, or as you refer to us..."you lot"....believe it is an imported car that pontiac released as a gto...and worthy of it, i might add. so i'm not sure i understand why you insist on trying to make us out to be dumb? we're well aware of where it came from...but you seem to think that it makes a difference. as i said, a TRUE return of the GTO wouldn't have been imported. this doesn't even come close to the beauty of an original GTO. oh well.
mate look around other videos on the tube fuck me.. the comments are like this is US car not aussie all over the place
to tell you the truth i couldnt realy give a shit about the pice of crap .. any car with out steel bumper bars is crap in my mind i am old school .. i was just trying settle this agument .. simple atot of people in the USA dis it beacuse its a fake GTO MADE IN OZ with yank motor. , it is what it is end of story so if you think i was taking piss out of you guys of their
actually the car was first a project of Diamler Benz so...if it werent for them and ford streamlining the industrial age and the assembly line...then there wouldnt be one. However us americans pioneered the mod seen so we got that going for us.
I'm a mustang guy at heart, first and foremost..Red-White and Blue all the way man. No nizzmo shit will be in my driveway. One thing I do like about the bow-tie is how they kept their V8's push rod style. Ford sucks for doing overhead cams though I hear its good for power. Anyway I work with a kid who drive a 300z and an Evo X. He talks all day about these ricepowered RB-26 or whatever motors and then my boss(whos bowtie) and I step in and just explain the Vette or Lingenfelter. Can't argue bak
and I got my dick in your mouth,,,, we're talking about VEHICLES here, not jets or things powered by a jet engine. That was a terrible way to come-back, just busting balls. Oh yea well, I know this company called NASA and each main space shuttle engine produces 400,000 lbs of thrust or 12,000,000 hp! Pee on your Jet! Hahhaha car is sweet though. Want to know the best part, I was thinking about his G8 when I saw this, hahah what a dick I am!
At least you didn't say Cavalier. lol. I've grown tired of people telling me how their uncle's brother's sister's cousin has a civic that will blow my door off. Good for them. I've always noticed that people who run comparable vehicles don't talk shit as much. But it's the internet and everyone gets their opinion.
@SaleenS351R your an idiot... he was making fun of you... because you had to talk about your buddies car... because you dont have something that badass... stfu til you get somthing worthy of being on the same highway as this car, or your buddies.
545 rwhp and roughly 547 lbs tq. The clutch was slipping pretty bad in 4th during the last couple runs. Replacing one of the turbos (leaking) and will get re-tuned. Not expecting much more though.
These aren't Ball Bearing Turbos. I am in the process of switching them out with some Garret BBs. They aren't huge turbo's either. Rather smallish, but I can guarantee there is a blow off valve! lol.
and who the fuck do you think you are inbred, your comment is lame compared to my ratings in the top 50 for most watched videos. not sure on the vehicle you're refering to but it's way out of your league dopey seppo!!!
No problems. You really wouldn't meet a humbler guy than me when it comes to talking shit about my cars or bikes. lol. I have the pedders stuff as well. REally enhances the driving of the fat pig. I have to get my fenders rolled now. Too much squat on the 275's.
Sorry bout that! Some other TT setup showed a really quick 200...something...my Z06 and my BUSA (yep me too) knows how hard to do is.
I'm fairly certain the 6th gear could reach it in theory. But would take well over 1000whp
thats not happening in a stock bottom ended ls2 tt or not. Awesome torque numbers.. I only make in the mid 500 and can't keep those 275's hooked at all till third.
I've dashhawked mine down to a 3.8 0-60 but still with mega spin and a sideways second.
b; have the horsepower nessary in 6th gear's final ratio to make 200mph.. you would need in excess of 1500 whp....yeah and that a fact.
Do the clacilations for 5 th or 6th gear...no matter what hp... only in 6th is it nurmerically possible...but with much more HP Zo6 need an extra 200+ whp to go over 200
and they stock run 198....it all in the claculations FAKE
an 89 mustang has 215hp at 3100 lbs. GTO's 400 hp at 3800 lbs. , So no stock for stock the GTO would win, you put some money in the mustang(which they make millions of performance items, cam, heads, stroker cranks,etc..) you could make up that difference because the fact of the matter is GTO's are heavy and mustangs are usually on the lighter side and weight makes a big deiffernce so if i were you i'd make it a goal to beat the 0-60 in 4.8 second mark and you got a stock LS2 GTO
Sounds like fun. You have a fox? Then you must know what the 5.0 can do. Sorry we can never meet at the track...But that's OK, I have a new GTO dowm the street to mess with. And he learned what old school is all about.
I have a 89 with a 351C sitting on an engine stand. Should have went with a Windsor. Would have been much easier and cheaper. Love to meet you on the track, but as I have mentioned earlier, my car is fast, me not so much! lol.
600HP is not easy to make and not frag the engine or drive train. I get home in 30 days and then I'm getting some work done to get 650 rwhp. That's to the ground. Not at the crank. Of course, The skinny ass 275s aren't going to put the power to the ground very well. lol.
4 those talkin about nissan titan vs gto heres somethin for you the 06 gto is a 6.0 and the titan is a 5.4 the gto is lighter it would b close but the gto would prolly take it due to the weight difference but u never kno either way they r both nice
I own an 06 GTO and most times on average, I get about 26mpg at about 75-80. At 60 you can get very close to 30mpg. But that can be tough, its hard not to put your foot on the floor...
oooo ignorant asswipe!! i'm not the one who put nissan and honda in the same comment... i was just commenting on someone else's dumbass remark. i'm not going into other video's talking shit about the car in the vid when i have no room to talk.
hey koukicrisp, nissan's and honda's suck fucking balls... don't come in here and talk about gay rice burners on a video of an american V8... go back to listening to your techno and drinking your starbucks
hey drtnrtntnn or what ever the hell ur name is i like how ur calling people stupid when theres 1st graders that can spell better than you and most of those little rice burners that ur talking about sound like a damn weed eater
jap cap cars r nice ,,,,,,,, and can easly do same hp as any v8 with mods,,,,,,,i even se stock sti smoke a gto . or civic smoke vetes...... y buy a v8?? cuz ur stuoid to waste money on gass and insurance thats stupid but i guess u couldnt figure that out since u r ((stupid))
Holy FUCK you're retarded. You're spelling is atrocious and nothing that you type makes any sense. Go back to school before you talk about other peoples' cars
on it takes alot more money to build hp out of a 4 it can be done mind you but un like your little toy motor. a V-8 will still be reliable. to make 500 hp out of say a gto less then &10,000 your shitty little honda 40,+ grand to get to 400 hp.
Dude, I don't like to make fun of retarded people but you are going to make me break that rule if you keep posting your ignorant crap. Enjoy your 4 banger.
I agree, it's personal preferance. If you like 4 gerbils, so be it. I think it would bother me telling people my "Inline-4 is a 1.6 liter... Meanwhile their bottle of Mountain Dew has 2" I'd rather have my 5.0 V8 P.O.S. Ford Exploder over some inline-4 anyday really. Don't get me wrong though, those asians really do know how to drain every single hp they can get out of 4-cylinders. We Americans don't know how to do that yet, so we add superchargers or make bigger engines. I'm fine with that!
You're pretty funny kid. I'm an import owner and I'll set it straight for you since you have no idea. 1st of all, the LS V8s are known to get 30mpg on the highway with the 6 speed. Second, pushing 500whp through a FWD Civic is pointless (ever heard of torque steer?). Third, an STI gets about 16mpg.
An LS motor can make over 30whp from headers alone. Wanna know what my 99 Si makes with an aftermarket header? 6whp. SIX. It's a great car for everyday use since it's quick and gets good mileage due to making no low end power AT ALL, but to make big power out of it I'd need to boost hard and lose that along with the reliability. Get real man. You'll learn someday, or maybe not.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
please dude are you serious, you truly believe that a LS2 6.0 liter can get 30mpg, don't be a fool. If you believe that then believe that my GT35R RB25 240sx can fly when i hit full boost. I told you so believe it.
actually, with the 6speed, it does get about 30mpg on the highway you dipshit
its a proven fact that a V8 just has to IDLE on the highway, IDLE!! that is enough to move it along. where it hurts mileage is in town, and hard acceleration.. but your more then welcome to buy into the micro engine hype put out by asian automakers. keep torturing yourself.
your 4 cyl's of fury have to spin at 12,000 rpm to pass someone
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
okay so now a highly unefficient V8 can put up the same numbers as a honda civic or toyota celica. You are also listening to what people tell you, does that even sound logical at all. a 4000lb car with a huge V8 is making 30mpg, how does that sounds. as any automotive PROFESSIONAL, if it makes 30mpg, you sound ridiculous. but hey my 240sx can fly too, because the aerodynamics and speed when i hit boost, makes it fly.
The LS2 6.0L V8 can get 30mpg on the highway. I saw it a few times in a video on youtube. The little screen thing below the tachometer and the speedometer, it can show what milage you are getting.
i have an 05 gto. on the ride home, after buying it in maryland, it got about 28 mpg average according to the in-dash display, during MOSTLY highway driving. mine is a 6 speed also with only k&n filter and spintech catback.
Hey Jap crap listen up when you add a turbo to an american v8 it sounds like a beast. But when you add a turbo to a inline 4 you get a lawn mower.(one case would be the rotary engine of the RX-7 which isn't an inline 4 but sounds like one or the honda crap as well.)
I like the car, like where your going with this build but that not 500hp. I have a SS and conversion SS. 96 and 02 and both are over 460hp the LT1 is a 383 turbo makin 587 to rear wheels and when I get on a dyno the front end goes up or when I'm on the street you deffenetly know there is more than 500hp under the hood. The LS2 has 463hp and that one looks like what you have but its still balls to the wall. One more thing I put a mechanical cutout, best investment made.
This car is capable of over 800rwhp. This is a brand new car with hardly any miles on it. It's got full suspension upgrades, solid drive shaft, harrop diff cover and electric water pump waiting when the owner gets back from deployment. Honestly who knows if he'll end up going through the bottom end
Oh yeah, no dought on the potential. If you buld the motor right I can even see a 1000+hp. I'm trying t fit a big turbo on the 02' SS something with 14-20psi and finding room in the engine bay is like pissin up stream with the wind in your face!
How much hp you puttng out? U should of smoked tht gt500!

I've got an 05M6GTO myself and was considering a Procharger or Magnacharger, but the STS TT would give super crazy power by comparison. Did you do any driveline upgrades like solid driveshaft & thicker halfshafts? How much did it run you? Sorry for all the questions. :P

Thanks for the compliment. The STS is a single rear-mounted kit. This is the GEN-TTR kit.

SaleenS351R, you're retarded. BTW there's a reason why everyone went away with pushrod engines, they suck.

Pushrod engines do not suck, by far the push rod has been around much longer then OHCs.
True efficiency is "better" with an OHC but adds more parts to an engine thus upping the percentage of a failure over an engine that has less moving parts like a pushrod engine.
What current mass production engine makes more power then the current LS GM engine at the same general cost? Or by that matter Factory crate engine, even Fords Alumnator a MOD engine is barely comparable.

GM owns that australian company so it is 100% gm
oorahUSMC90 2 years ago
No so Marine, GM only has a "Majority Stock" control over Holden not ownership, I think it has something to do with Aussie law "Indigenous industrial means" or something like.
If you dig deep or just E mail GM you will find the word "subsidiary" rather then the word "owned".
At the every least it's a Chevy via the engine, not a Pontiac. 3M stickers dont make a car!

dude who gives a crap youre on every freakin gto vid proving it's an australian import. its in the U.S., it has an all american tranny and engine, and who gives a crap if it came from down under, its still a badass car and GM showed those aussies how to turn it into a real car that actually sells, nobody wanted the monaro in australia

The Holden GTO is a Holden Monaro that was borne from the Holden Commodore.
The who GM showing anyone anything is bull, they just rebaged the car and made it US DOT.
It's a import with a Chevy engine.
O_o
ramairgto72 2 years ago
@ramairgto72 The Holden Monaro was NOT borne from the Commodore. Monaros have been on our roads since 1968. The first Commodore didn't roll off the production line until 1979.
AustraliaYouBeauty 1 year ago
@AustraliaYouBeauty The underpinnings of a Monaro "3rd gen" is a 2 door Commodore "V" body! It's obvious the 68 Monaro is not a 2004 Holden GTO, however the constant evolution of the name led to the "V". I would love to split hairs with you if you wish!
ramairgto72 1 year ago
@ramairgto72 Not interested in splitting hairs with you mate, but I think it was important to let others know that the Monaros origin didn't begin with the Commodore. "Borne from the Commodore" makes it sound that way to those that aren't aware.......which would appear to be many. No offence meant. I'm quite impressed with your Holden knowledge.
AustraliaYouBeauty 1 year ago
@AustraliaYouBeauty My intention was not to attach the origins of one of Holden's greats with the "V".
Holden is a world class car maker, the cars made by Aussies have been better then other cars makers with much more Money backing. The Holden "V" was a pinnacle in duel roll or "Pro Touring" "Drag" factory car. This car is an Aussie car, and the respect should be given to Holden, & not what it was falsely portrayed to be.
ramairgto72 1 year ago
@ramairgto72 I know that wasn't your intention, but those that don't know any better (Yanks & Poms) would take it that way simply because of the way you phrased it.
Holden a world class car maker? No argument from me. I love them and am proud that it's an AUSTRALIAN company......."he says as he looks for Landcruisers on carsales.com." LOL.

450hp202turbo 2 years ago
you do realize no one in australia wanted a monaro right...$60,000 car wasnt worth it to the aussies. so GM took a car that was about to go out of production, put the beating heart of an all american ls1 and t56 tranny, and sold more in the US than they could ever hope to sell in australia. also if they brought the monaro as it was with the price tag it had to the US, no one would buy one, sorry buddy, so cool your jets.
jpap967 2 years ago
That's not right at all. Most people wanted one because they are an awesome re-incarnation of an aussie icon from 1968. Also, 3 years before the monaro was slightly altered to become the gto, it already had the ls1 and t56 courtesy of GM. And even with the pontiac badge, these cars were assembed by blokes called Wazza and Kev in a factory in south Aus. And they'd probably be pretty pissed off if everyone is calling them american cars. It's like calling a Bentley 'German' or a Jaguar 'Indian'...
chops383 2 years ago
look, Holden as a whole is an aussie devision of GM. GM has plants all over the world as does Ford. The Motor, tranny, and badges are GM USA. The suspension tuning and body are GM Australia. Either way you put it, its a GM car as a whole. Why do people always try to put divisions on things? Its an Epic GM car that will go down in history as one of "GM's" greatest accomplishments, not as America's or Aussie's. Its one of GM's best. Lets just leave it at that.
mtooshort20 2 years ago 8
I can agree on that, but as an Aussie it's nice to think of at least one of the modern holden models as 'ours'. But good point - beast of a car, 'nuff said.
chops383 2 years ago
@mtooshort20 Tell me why Holden has it's own stock exchange name and symbol if it's "owned" by GM!?
Not one part of the Holden GTO was made in the US, the engines were cast in Canada and the rest was Holden! This was Holden's idea, and sold as something else! Holden's team didnt even see fit to use the word "Pontiac" on the car until more then half of the entire model run, and only after people bitched about what it was not!? I don't care what some suit says to sell cars, it's an Aussie import!

I'm fairly certain the 6th gear could reach it in theory. But would take well over 1000whp
thats not happening in a stock bottom ended ls2 tt or not. Awesome torque numbers.. I only make in the mid 500 and can't keep those 275's hooked at all till third.

an 89 mustang has 215hp at 3100 lbs. GTO's 400 hp at 3800 lbs. , So no stock for stock the GTO would win, you put some money in the mustang(which they make millions of performance items, cam, heads, stroker cranks,etc..) you could make up that difference because the fact of the matter is GTO's are heavy and mustangs are usually on the lighter side and weight makes a big deiffernce so if i were you i'd make it a goal to beat the 0-60 in 4.8 second mark and you got a stock LS2 GTO

Don't get me wrong though, those asians really do know how to drain every single hp they can get out of 4-cylinders. We Americans don't know how to do that yet, so we add superchargers or make bigger engines. I'm fine with that!

You're pretty funny kid. I'm an import owner and I'll set it straight for you since you have no idea. 1st of all, the LS V8s are known to get 30mpg on the highway with the 6 speed. Second, pushing 500whp through a FWD Civic is pointless (ever heard of torque steer?). Third, an STI gets about 16mpg.
z4ckm0rris 4 years ago
An LS motor can make over 30whp from headers alone. Wanna know what my 99 Si makes with an aftermarket header? 6whp. SIX. It's a great car for everyday use since it's quick and gets good mileage due to making no low end power AT ALL, but to make big power out of it I'd need to boost hard and lose that along with the reliability. Get real man. You'll learn someday, or maybe not.

actually, with the 6speed, it does get about 30mpg on the highway you dipshit
its a proven fact that a V8 just has to IDLE on the highway, IDLE!! that is enough to move it along. where it hurts mileage is in town, and hard acceleration.. but your more then welcome to buy into the micro engine hype put out by asian automakers. keep torturing yourself.

okay so now a highly unefficient V8 can put up the same numbers as a honda civic or toyota celica. You are also listening to what people tell you, does that even sound logical at all. a 4000lb car with a huge V8 is making 30mpg, how does that sounds. as any automotive PROFESSIONAL, if it makes 30mpg, you sound ridiculous. but hey my 240sx can fly too, because the aerodynamics and speed when i hit boost, makes it fly.

The LS2 has 463hp and that one looks like what you have but its still balls to the wall. One more thing I put a mechanical cutout, best investment made.

This car is capable of over 800rwhp. This is a brand new car with hardly any miles on it. It's got full suspension upgrades, solid drive shaft, harrop diff cover and electric water pump waiting when the owner gets back from deployment. Honestly who knows if he'll end up going through the bottom end

Oh yeah, no dought on the potential. If you buld the motor right I can even see a 1000+hp. I'm trying t fit a big turbo on the 02' SS something with 14-20psi and finding room in the engine bay is like pissin up stream with the wind in your face!

I'm actually replacing the clutch and the driveshaft when I get done with my deployment.
