Srt-4 Vs. GTO
well last night i was chilling with my buddy (the guy that is always in my races) as we come up to a red light i noticed a red GTO 6.0 and i end up next to him. i do a quick check for cops, look foward for any traffic disruptions and i see the coast is clear from both. so i rev my car to about 3k the gto driver looks back and returns the rev and nods his head at me saying yup lets do this. he gets ready, I find the sweet spot in my car (the spot where i dont get as much Wheelspin when i take off from a dig) and wait for the green.
The Green drops and we take off like 2 dogs out of hell and im Right next to him. 2nd Gear he starts to inch ahead his bumper, and he shifts into third i think a bit too early so when i got into 3rd i started to pass him we get into 4th and i had 1 1/2 car on him when we reached the next light. when we arrived we looked at each other and the dude in the GTO give me a thumbs up and nods his head in a yes notion and went his way

Re: Srt-4 Vs. GTO
Yeah.. i'd expect the torque off the line to kill you but good kill.

Re: Srt-4 Vs. GTO
Nice kill. I'm sure the GTO guy probably wasn't flooring it. If he did there'd probably be massive wheel spin... and we all know that doesn't help when racing.
Edit: I still want to test drive both just for the hell of it.

Re: Srt-4 Vs. GTO
here's the thing
1) The gto weighs 3700 and the srt-4 weighs 2900 2) The Srt-4 has torque at 2,200rpm and the GTO has it at 4,000 3) as i told drifty last night if it was a good driver he wouldve lost 4) and finally, as i told drifty if it was an automatic he wouldve lost, doesnt take a genious to figure out how to floor it

Re: Srt-4 Vs. GTO
If the GTO had the 6.0L 400HP. I think he would have smoked you.. I think he had the low end GTO 350HP. You may have had a chance against that becuase of the weight ratio. The GTO is compared the Dodge Charger. So I am pretty sure with two experienced drivers the GTO would pull ahead with no issues.. another to remember because he is heavier he has to think about slowing down sooner than you would.
Just my thoughts |

and silverado, as i said before if it was an automatic it wouldve won easily, the autos run more consistant low 13's then the manuals, and drifty knows that too

Re: Srt-4 Vs. GTO
Well either way nice kill. Drifty are you still stock? Sorry but I get the different srt4s on here confused sometimes.

Re: Srt-4 Vs. GTO
here are the stats for both the SRT-4 and GTO 6.0L
SRT-4: 0-60 5.8 secs 2.4 Litre 230HP 250 lb-ft torque Ref: http://www.dodge.com/srt-4/performan...&type=textLink GTO: 0-60 4.6 secs (auto) 4.7 secs (man) 6.0L LS2 400hp 400lb-ft torque ref: http://www.pontiac.com/pdf/06Pontiac_GTO.pdf Now the Dodge is quick.. do not get me wrong.. but it does not compare to the GTO.. my assessment is that the GTO was not at full throttle or the driver was not an experienced street racer. Good kill, Just becareful next time comming across one of these. you may not be so lucky next time
