GTO 1/4 times stock( new and old)

What does the new and old GTO's run in the 1/4?

I do know that motor trend rates the new gto at 13.5 not sure about the mph. Older gto are probably faster than that but I am just guessing.

i got car and driver at 14.0s@99mph....not impressed

Its supposed to be a lil quicker than 14's from what ive heard.

i read 13.8

wat does the 65 GTO run. some one said 12.5-12.8...is this true???

no.. i watched a segment on car and driver just last night and they did some tests on the new GTO and they explained the history of the old GTO.. Car and driver even said they aren't pleased with the new GTO... They managed a 14.0 in the 1/4 and 5.3 0-60... they also said it doesn't handle well.. anyhow the older GTO, at least the one car and driver spoke of, ran 14's stock with 325 HP.. and ppl back then used to love the car because you could buy the car and throw full exhaust on and slicks and run in the 13's which was competetive back then they said... So the new GTO performs a little better stock for stock over the older in the 1/4, but its the herritage that ppl say it isn't worthy of because its 100% holden and 0% american.. maybe 1% because they threw on the pontiac badge and GTO name lol It seems like the only way GM can sell something of better quality is if they steal it from others..

I ran mine to a best of 13.3@104
SLP ran one to a best of 13.1@107
HPP (hiperformance Pontiac) Ran one at 13.5@105

It' a mid to low 13' car with the right driver. Just like a Cobra with the right driver can do high 12's stock.

A new cobra with the right driver can do mid 12's stock.. muscle mustangs and fast fords got a convertable to hit 12.7.. i'm sure a lighter coupe could hit 12.5 easy..

"It seems like the only way GM can sell something of better quality is if they steal it from others.."

How exactly is GM stealing from others if Holden is a company underneath GM? Also every 5.7L V8 Holden uses in its vehicles is the Chevy LS1.

thats because Holden is completely different company with different engineers and designers.. sure maybe GM bought rights to the company, but its an australian company.. The "GTO" is a holden manaro or some shit like that.. Ford ownes parts of jaguar does that mean jags are ford? no.. and i think in australia the manaro is way different.. i think it has 402 hp over there.. here we get the watered down, runny nosed " GTO".. GM ruins cars.. the new impala is front wheel drive, as for the monte carlo.. that shit just sucks ass.. you don't see chrysler making FWD cuda's do ya? no, cause they have there shit together!

No but I see Chrysler/Dodge making front wheel drive Intrepids and Sebrings, and I see Ford making front wheel drive Contours and Taurus's. Same difference.

Holden is no different to GM then Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, or Pontiac are to GM. Yeah Holden designs its own cars, so does Pontiac, so does Oldsmobile, so does Buick, etc., but Holdens are still powered by Chevy engines, where is the Australian enginuity in that? I mean Holden is called GM's Australian division for a reason, they did more than buy the rights to the company, they freakin power the things. Isuzu also fits in the same category.

whatever, i don't feel like argueing about a car i don't even care about.. bottom line is the car sucks and GM sucks.. and i'll never buy a GM again..

Nice GTA.. my cousin had one just like it.. whats done to it? have you ran it at the track? My cousin had full exhaust and a chip on his and it ran 14.6 i believe because it had a shit load of hard miles on it.. i used to think his car was so fast growing up lol.. its a sweet car though..

The car is completely stock. 62,000 miles on it. And no I haven't taken it to the track yet. I'd be too afraid to anyways at the moment, it's having a few problems...like randomly trying to overload the engine when I start it up. Oh yeah and the battery decided to die just recently. Gotta get all that fixed and some new tires before I would ever put it on the track.

I am proud to be one of the few 3rd Gen F-bodies owners you see on these websites with the standard 350 V8 engine instead of the 305. It's not even close to being powerful as the cars out their today or your Cobra, but for what it is, it still hauls ass.

yea, i like them.. my cousins was a spitting image of yours too... they have nice torque stock.. i think its like 330ftlbs.. that about as much as the newer trans ams... yea my friend has a trans am with the 305 and its terribly slow.. we maxed it out at 122 for miles.. it wasn't even quick off the line either.. my 2000 Z24 used to spank it crazy and that only ran 15.3...probably the fastest 80's f-body i been in was my cousins camaro Z28.. he bought it from some guy and it had heads already in it.. he then did some little shit like roller rockers and a catback.. he used to beet his brother mike with the same trans am as you by about a car length.. so he was probably running mid 14's.. we did 140 in it once racing this turbo talon...

Ha damn...yeah the car has lots of torque just no horsepower :(. Oh well that was the 80's for ya.

I have a 02' Mustang GT, Standard T/M
It is basically stock, with the exception of
Mufflers, 30 lbs. Fuel Injectors, and a K&N Airfilter
I ran a new GTO at the track
02' GT - 13.63 04' GTO - 13.91
281 ci / 270 HP 350 ci / 350 HP

Sad, eh?

For MR SVT' info the Monaro version has only 302HP. You must be thinking of the HSV version, the performance wing of Holden. Similiar to say what SVT does with the Mustang.

oh ok.. yea i don't know much about what goes on down under.. i just remember reading something about it somewhere at one point..

A new cobra with the right driver can do mid 12's stock.. muscle mustangs and fast fords got a convertable to hit 12.7.. i'm sure a lighter coupe could hit 12.5 easy..

Dang dude, you are slighty car eccentric... ( slightly is used in a sarcastic way ) Not only do you come into the GTO forums and rip on the interiors of the Car, and say that the mustang interiors are far better ( which is a laugh ) I have been in many mustangs... and i test drove the new GTO last Tuesday... let me tell you there is no comparison.. but you won't take that reality because you are car eccentric. Then you say GM is crap and you will never buy one again.... maybe you should look at Ford's long line of crap that they have made for the last few decades. Then you spout off that a new SVT can do mid 12's stock..... riiiiight..... If you were smoking crack while writing that then i will forgive you. The best i have seen is 13.1 in the quarter mile with a 2003 SVT... over half a second you are claiming to be easy is a joke. From 13.1 to 12.5 easy??? LOL. And as far as your 99 SVT Cobra putting out 279 at the rear tires is a joke. Obviously you didn't know that Ford had a problem with the 1999 SVT Cobras making 320 hp, they couldn't even make 300 hp. And buddy, that isn't at the rear wheels i'm talking about. So if they aren't making even 300hp at the flywheel..... then you aren't getting 279hp at the rear wheels stock. And you diffinetly are not getting 13.4 in the quarter, with your 99 SVT ( that couldn't produce the hp that it was supposed too ) when a 2003 - 2004 with 390hp can only do 13.1 in the quarter. There is about 100hp difference there between your car with the mods and a stock '04 SVT, but only a .3 difference in the quarter.... LOL! I'm getting slightly tired of you coming in here and ripping on GTO especially when your car blows. Do i Love the new GTO? No, Do i like it yes. Does the GTO have more class then your Stang? You better believe it. Stop coming in here and whining... it gets old especially when you are so eccentric. Just go back to your little Stang gathering and leave this forum alone. I know i'm tired of seeing your pathetic remarks.

Ya, its sad that another lying Mustang lover is in here.... Lets talk about your '02 GT with 260hp stock.... just over 3200 lbs dry weight. Hmmm Everyone else that has reviewed the car gets 14.5 in the quarter. ( and thats being nice about the time.) How exactly are you shaving a second off the quarter? Shaving a quarter off is not easy with only replacing the mufflers, fuel injectors and air filter. So tell me how? Lets compare a new 2004 Grand Prix GTP to your GT... it weighs around 200 lbs more, has 5 more hp then yours and gets a solid 15.0 in the quater mile. HMMM thats odd. You are just as pathetic as DaveshapellSVT is.

P.S. Why don't you go talk to Cobra01TT, he is in the forums... he has a '01 SVT Cobra and the best he can do in the quarter mile is 14.7 and he has 320hp to your 260hp.... ya, your pathetic.

Theres no need to flame other people, please don't do it.


And for the record the US GTO versoin of the Ausie Monaro GTO has more power, and a more aggresive suspension set up.
