It's like I told the guys at work, I test drove both the GTO('04) & ION Red Line on the same stretch of interstate and I am a firm believer that the GTO will NOT out run a RED Line. The GTO will always be staring at the little Saturn just a few car lengths behind him. Now the '05s with the 50 extra HP, they might put a little extra stretch on the Satty, but no way will a GTO lose it on a stretch of road. And realistically, I don't think they would ever get to use the extra 14 MPH top end potential they have over the RED LINE. I've gone the 140MPH on a resurfaced Interstate and don't think I'd like doing 158 on the same stretch. I have gone 182MPH in a drag car and dragstrips are built way different and are a much better riding surface at those speeds.
