05 Gtp

[Vinaashak]

Yeah anything can happen in a street race. My GTP has had its fair share of good runs and bad runs. One just came up the other day. i came across a new wrx. The first run was fairly close because we went from a stop. He jumped out ahead by about a car because i sat and spun but once be got up and moving i had him by about a car and a half at 55-60. Second race was from about 15 and i walked him the whole time, by about 65 i was around 3-4 cars ahead. Anything can happen. Although my car isnt stock it isnt super modded either, just have catback, pulley, airbox and pcm. Now i have ridden in a new ion redline and driven a new Comp-g gtp. Between these i would have to say the ion felt a lot quicker. i think it could have been due to the tranny but it felt to pull harder for longer. To me anyway this is completly believable. Ive been in my fair share of gtp's and know the potential of most of them but this little ion i rode in just thrilled me more than my car can. I was seriously thinking about trading in for one for a while.

ftr my car has ran a best of 13.724@99.33, with a best mph of 100.66 and a best 60' of 1.975

With that time you'd definitely walk away from a RL. Once the aftermarket picks up though it may be a different story.

it was me he raced in the GTP!! lol it was my dads. we couldnt launch because of garsnows tires, the z rated tires are awful in this weather. i really couldnt believe that he had beat me. those redlines are some beasts.

Don't worry. Looks like you will get your wish.

Adam needs to wait till it is warm out, and then race someone. You can't get in a good race when it is -2degrees out side. It is not good for you or the other guy. One thing I wondered is, how to get rid of the wheel hop in the RL's? I test drove a Red 05, and it WAS SOOO MUCH faster than my cav, but hard to launch. Prolly didn't help it was raining, huh?

thanks for signing up james, i appreciate it. and yeah, i dont think the rain helped very much. as for wheel hop, there are bushings like there is for the cavalier, but there metal, not polyurethane.

hopefully you get a turbo setup so on the way to the gmsc bash you can keep up

You might beat me in the winter Adam since my beast is hibernating, but wait till spring and the 954 comes out to play

Hope this helps ya with your referrals :-D
