    me with mods in sig vs a mostly stock (and beautiful) auto T/A GTA.

    first race, he lanched better than me, and i panicked and mashed the gas, spun, and ended up with an even worse launch. Then his tranny wouldnt shift into 3rd gear.

    Second race I launched a LOT better, and he got into 3rd this time. Not really an amazing kill, but it seemed a lot closer in person than what the video showed.

    this was after i got buttraped by about the same amount to a 6.0 GTO (not surprised at that either)

    Enjoy.

    Not really sure who you're referring to, but that was a 5.7L

    Auto GTAs are 5.7, 5-speed cars got the 5.0.

    So where's all the L98 bashing?
    Everyone bashes the LT1; why no the L98?
    It's a CUMMINS Dodge not a Dodge Cummins

    I don't know why anyone needs to bash either of these engines.

    Because we don't want to state the obvious. It actually wouldn't have been a bad engine at the time it came out, only a little less HP per liter than the 5.0. The bigger problem was no 5.7/M5

    For their time, they rolled out fairly well. I can assure you even today they'll put a hurtin' on a GTP on the top end.
