word...Z>GTO if they had same hp..even the same weight...i actually wanna see a video of a gto vs a z from like a 60mph roll...anyone got some?

 

how did you see an 05 they arent supposed to be out for sale till april..or so. I was going to buy one before i purchased the z last month.

 

stock for stock forget it the gto is a highway monster

 

I've already seen 3, I'm going to test drive one tomorrow.

 

i see chicago, well mid january they were still in customs as of ls2gto.com

 

I wish they brought back the El Camino and kill that fugly SSR.

 

why dont you go back and read through the thread...and you'll see what was discussed...misfit..

 

Yep, the 05 GTO is quite a bit faster than our Z.

A stock 04 GTO could come down to a drivers race, but some of them have also run in the low to mid 13's, so again I would give the GTO the edge.

They are much easier to launch as well.

I did beat an 04 GTO 6 speed, which had a CAI, at SDR, but with practice, he will probably drop his times. His car only has a couple thousand miles on it as well.

On a road course, the Z has a major advantage.

 

How about we compare the Pontiac GTO vs Nissan Z in a coast to coast run from NYC to LA....Like the Car & Driver "Lap Across America"....The Pontiac will need numerous repairs...Rebuilt engine and tranny and God knows what else......Meanwhile the Z will still be rollin' right along.....Watch the Z cross the finish line and the Pontiac make it there 2 months later...LOL

Signed,

A disgruntled former Pontiac Fiero GT owner ...LOL

 

agreed VeeTec

 

Yea, and a couple of replies up, dude said a tt would walk the gto. If a modded Z is getting into the topic, why can't the goat be modded in the comparison too?

 

it can be...the z will walk over it still

 

Man, you don't even know how badly I want GM to import more Holdens over here. Same goes for Ford, the AU Falcon is an awesome automobile, and some of it's performance variants are downright sick. The F6 Typhoon is a Falcon Ute that has a turbocharged six and puts out like 360+hp @ 5,250rpm and 405lb/ft @ 2,000 - 4,250rpm.

 

Must be the Mad Max legacy.

 

I highly doubt it.

From APS which also does TT for the Z

With insane horsepower and monster torque (over double the torque at 3,500 rpm), the APS Intercooled Twin Turbo High Output System performs like a strong 9L Big Block and raises the LS1 performance enthusiast exclusively into the supercar club with 11 second quarter mile performance on street tyres!

 

Neither should have been, this is a pretty lame thread. It's obvious the GTO is faster in the ¼ mile.

BTW, I think the domestic guys are realizing gone are the days of throwing a s/c on it and making near 500hp with a stock motor. The new 4.6 3V (Ford, I know...) has to have pistons and rods replace right around where the Z does.

 

I met a GTO on the freeway this morning. Very little traffic, From about 75 mph thru about 125 mph I held my own. From then off he started to pull away. Sweet race!
