...and tore him a new one!

DISCLAIMER: I know this Goat should be running way faster than it does in the videos below,
but it was "Run whatcha brung" day at the track...

Here's the video:

Blown GTO vs Bolt-On Mach 1

I had to make the video pretty big - any smaller & you couldn't read the timing boards.
If anyone still can't read them, I have a larger version that even Mr Magoo could read. It's almost 10 MB though...

Since I knew someone would call BS ,
I took video of the above car (and mine) in the pits cooling-off between runs,
with numbers clearly visible on the sides of both cars:

Blown GTO & Bolt-On Mach 1 in the pits

The GTO ran a a bit faster (13.346 @ 104.49 w/2.0X 60 ft) against an '04 Cobra, who ran a 12.067 @ 119.09 (OUCH!).

'04 Blown GTO vs '04 Blown Cobra

The Goat also ran a 13.2X @ 104.8X (2.00 60 ft) early in the day, which I got on video but I didn't
catch his time before it was gone from the board.
(The 5.0 car he ran was so far ahead of him that I got bored waiting for the GTO's time to appear... )

Personally, I'd be more than a little irked if I was the owner of this car,
which was supposedly built by LPE.
Either the tune is extremely safe, or something is broken.
I talked to the owner several times & he seemed quite satisfied with his times - and since it's his car - that's all that really matters I guess.

So, I got what I had been looking for - a run with a modded '04 Goat.

Maybe not the fastest or best-tuned GTO around, but a run nonetheless...

Also, not my best time for my Mach, but still my best run of the day:
(This is not my slip running the GTO BTW)

Mach 1 Best Run 09/11/04

 

I saw the video's on another site. Good kill, but, like you said, something isn't right with the GTO.

 

Good Kills

 

LOL @ the kid crying in the background. "I want da-da".

 

That's my 2-year-old son.

He wants to be in the Mach with me when I'm running down the 1/4-mile...

 

That's sad, a GTO that's blown that's running stock times. I would be pissed.

 

LOL, that's very pathetic. 13.346? Supercharged? HORRIBLE.

 

how could the gto guy be happy with his times? spent an unknown sum of money to run pretty much stock times?

 

What's he running 1 lb of boost or what?

 

I've never heard of a stock GTO running 13.3's? I would be pissed if i ran a 13.7 in a s/c GTO though.

TONY

Good kill in the Mach!

 

Angus, what mods do you have to the MACH?

Dan

 

4.30 gears, cold air, drag radials, etc

TONY (they were on the video)

 

I hear the guy is satisfied with his cars performance. Any chance you got him to elaborate on that?

 

Not trying to call BS, THE VIDEO DOESN'T LIE... BUT how in the heck is he only trapping 104.8 MPH?!?!

I mean, most stock LS1s will trap that speed +.

 

I thought i heard something about SLP getting a 13.2 out of theirs bone stock, i could be wrong though. That guys goat is pathetic, good kill though.
