@MrButterflyking

So you think shifting later would have helped? I think not.

As an X owner of a stock 05 LS2 M6 GTO.Best I did was 12.97@109MPH which was faster than 95% of other Goats I ran both A4 and M6.Unfortunately I hung around with 5 GN nuts and I was usually slower by at least a second(10 car lengths). If I saw a 1.37 60' pop up by a GN, I was usually off the gas by the 330' mark. Why fuckin bother continuing was my modo LOL. GTO's, especially the manual are a bitch to get below 2.0-1.9 60'. Even with a DR a 1.89 was a perfect launch for me. Too much wheel hop

@boost4fun Yeah I agree completely man, my '94 has an LT1 as well, there's a lot of stuff I want to do to it as well.

[boost4fun]

@pwnapoluzastudios My dad has a '99 SS and my brother has an '01 SS (after having sold his '02 WS6 TA). It's hard to resist the simplicity and power of a small block Chevy. I have an LT1 in my '94 Fleetwood limo. Was thinking about hot-rodding that just for shock value, but it's stock for now.

@boost4fun Sounds good, I have a '94 Firebird Formula myself, they're fun cars to drive

[boost4fun]

@pwnapoluzastudios Yes, I got an '02 Trans Am. Not to race, though. I haven't really been to the track since I sold the GN. The TA's rear and clutch are too fragile to effectively race it regularly. I may beef it up some day, but for now it's just a fun car to own.

@marcomariaz26 wow. You performed a complete psychoanalysis based on twisting a single sentence response to your nonsensical statement totally out of context. Brilliant. Again, in this video I won - this is the context in which you made your statement and to which I responded. Based on what you see in the video, how is that not "ftw"?

[marcomariaz26]

@boost4fun Doing your best?? Knowing you gave it your all and improved your performance over last time?? If you think 'the win' is everything, I truly feel sorry for you - you either don't deal with disappointment well, or are a delusional person who cannot admit their own short comings and possibly you need some mental health help...

[boost4fun]

@marcomariaz26 a better time is for the win. Not sure what else really matters.

[marcomariaz26]

@boost4fun better time, yes. ftw? not a chance.

@boost4fun Did you get something with a V8 instead?
