The GTO's I saw today were all running mid to low 14's and I saw one hit like 13.85 sec. On the way home on I94 I pulled up along-side one of them and it had the 6.0 badge on it so it was an '05. We didn't race though, there was alot of traffic.

not a good day at all!!! best time i ran today was 13.3 @ 109mph (2.2 - 60ft). last year i ran 13.3 @ 108mph (2.1 - 60ft). i was gettin a much better launch last year, but i found that the car needs to be launched differently w/ the 4.57's. the rpm's literally jump 2 redline if you're not careful after the launch, and it was gettin very touchy. if i can drop that 60ft by 0.2sec that should knock me into high 12's, but i couldn't get a good launch for the life of me today! well, it was definitely nice to finally meet some other owners (wisconsin s2k and jirzlee)! hope 2 see u guys @ the track again soon!

Horrible start finish and end. If I took a 400hp car up there and did a 14.7 I would leave. I would leave pretty quickly actually, but it sounds like that might not have been an option for this guy.

oh believe me i know what the new GTO can do.

it's just an interesting video to show you how bad some drivers can be. people dog the S2000 for running high 14's, but EVERY car gets bad drivers.
