Fox vs. GTO?

[EXTRPR50]

Okay, what's the concesus?
Obviously there is more power in the goat, but they are heavy. So what is needed to move past one?
Anyone raced one before?

I raced one when I was bone stock motor with 4.10s and nittos, I believe it was the 5.7 well anyways he killed me from a roll, put about 2 cars on me pretty quickly, but then we raced from a dig and I put 2 on him out of the hole and by the time he was at my back bumper I was at the top of 4th gear. Traction does wonders when you race people....

Auto cross? = GTO FTW

1/4 Drags? = GT FTW

The Fox needs some decent mods to hang with any of the newer modern muscle cars.

I raced a 04 or 05.(The ones with 350HP) and beat em at the track. I love them, but they sound like chit compared to a Fox.

I kinda messed around with a bone stock '06 6.0 400hp GTO. He was in front of me and stood on it in 1st, so i was a little late on the hit, but he didn't pull on me nearly as much as I thought he would. It was only a couple cars 1st-4th gear. My mods are in sig. They are pretty damn heavy. I think a 300rwhp fox would put a hurtin on a stock 400 horse gto.

Interesting. I have a 93 lx with tfs H/C/I+ plus all supporting mods, tko 600, 373 gears. I will let you guys know when I run into one. Ill make sure to get one from a dig. Traction might kill me though.

a local 19 year old kid has a 6.0L GTO, he bragged about his "400hp corvette motor" yet all he can muster at the track is a 13.8 which is the same time his old SRT-4 did. I tried to explain to him what IRS is and how it holds him back but he's an idiot...

lol I raced one from a roll recently now that I think about it, and with me only trapping at 107 I kinda made a joke out of him, I let off at one point to and got back in it to make it worse.

 

[FoxNotch]

I pulled one hard 2 weeks ago, manual in both cars. He's stock I have h/c, boltons, gears and weight reduction.

 

[stykthyn]

they would be a hell of a lot faster with a better suspension set up. that is about the only thing that is really holding them back.

I was reading one gto messageboard, and they were saying it was so expensive for mods. 1000.00 for lt's installed? Wow! A thousand bux for a fox would do wonders.

The notch jumps a bit.

from what i remember in magazines stock ls2 gtos only did around 12.9 at best in the 1/4 because they are so god damn heavy. And from what i remember reading to the automatic is a bit better then a stock 6spd, since the shifter was such crap since it took much effort to shift into any gear and the pedals where so badly placed even a simple heel-toe downshift was next to impossible unless you have a size 14!
