FYI - Freeway was empty. My brother called me up saying he ran his mild bolt-on t/a against his friend in his ls2 gto. GTO had a few wins over my brother’s T/A. the gto would pull after the third honk anywhere from a half car to 2 car lengths but then after a while they stay that way with no one pulling.
Heres are the mods on the T/A and GTO:
T/A – SLP LID, SLP LT headers, catless exhaust to a magnaflow muffler, A4
LS2 GTO – CAI, Headers IIRC, exhaust, HP Tuners custom tune, A4
GTP - stock motor with ZZP Z7 turbo kit w/T66 at ~14-15psi
The GTO and I ran 8 times. 4 from a dig and the other from various rolls, such as at a 30 and 40 mph roll. I break-boosted on all runs as well as ran at ~14.5-15psi.
Dig races
His launch was alright, minimal wheel spin with the same as me except for one run where I bogged the launch and he got me by 2 cars. All the other 3 races where I launched decently well I got him by 3-4? cars by 115-120mph. I could clearly see him in my center-view mirror
Roll races
Won all of them and got him by 3-4? cars by 110mph. Again, I could clearly see him in my center-view mirror. 2 of the roll races he actually got on the throttle before I did and I went past by him.
He was very surprised that my car was very quick. That’s all.
my brother's buddy only got one vid of the race of me against the gto. i think the vid was from a 30-35-ish roll:
gtp vs gto
heres a comparison of my brothers t/a against the gto:
t/a vs gto from dig
t/a vs gto from 30 roll
t/a vs gto from 40roll
