Default AP1 vs. LS1 GTO

AP1 has an upgraded clutch, test-pipe, intake. GTO has x-pipe, intake, and stickier tires.

He took me by about 3 cars before I let off. I figured I'd post the vid and let it do the talking, lol. Went from a dig, launched at about 5-6k. You can here the wheel spin.

Shoulda done it from a 30-35 mph roll. A well driven S2000 would have a fighting chance from a roll.

odd i put 2 cars on one till i hit 4th and then he starts to pull back. he is a very good driver from a dig i launched at 7k " i know bad" he has a intake and full exhaust. i raced him 4 times same outcome we switched cars he drove mine n drove his and still same outcome. from a 35 pull i pull on him till about 80ish then he starts to catch.

Technically, an x pipe is just a part of the catback on a gto...whereas it would actually be a midpipe on a mustang. Just thought I'd throw it out for clarification. So the guy had an intake and catback.

A set of heads and a mild cam is an easy 400+whp on the gto. People underestimate the LS1..but it's just as easy if not easier (cheaper) to make power compared to the LS2.
