New GTO + Cocky guy tryin to impress his woman + 5.1L boosted Marauder = Sad GTO owner

So I was in Milford over the weekend and they had their little festival thing goin on, lots of nice cars and stands and such. I had just gotten off the Freeway, heading down a private track on the out skirts of town when a GTO pulled up next to me. I actually didn't pay him any mind at first... The light goes green and I step away from the light like always, maybe close to half throttle. Then I hear tires chirp and see his front end pull up in front of me and then I hear the 1-2 shift wheel chirp and it's on. I hit the O/D off wait for the drop (tranny had gone to 3 by now) and still had time to reel him in and pull ... why did he get spanked? not sure I thought they were a bit faster than that. I don't think he had the shifting down right, the way I see it I should not have taken him on the stock rubber... either way he embarased himself, he didn't come up next to me again and turned off a couple streets later :D

Didn't they used to call those cars "goats"?

Ever wonder why?

Hey, don't confuse the classic GTO with that abortion that has it's name now.

My wife and I test drove one to have something to compare to the Mustang GT she wanted. It didn't feel as fast as the three valve 4.6 and by the time our test drive was up we took it back to the dealer. It was skipping, smoking out of the left tail pipe,and making loud popping and clattering sounds. :( The salesman tried to tell us we tore it up and I said we just did you a free quality care check and the GTO failed miserably.:rolleyes:

Besides the GTO badge I like the car, nothing really great but I have been a fan of the Aust. model. Just like the Ford Falcon.

Great story, he was probably pissing himself knowing that he just got spanked by a 5k pound car. The GTO is a POS IMO. It's a crossbreed between a Grand Am and a Grand Prix. A kid I know has the 6.0l one and he thinks it's all high and mighty. I can't wait until I get a few more bolts ons and possible NOS to show him what's up.
