'08 GT500 vs. Supercharged GTO 6.0

[thapr3dat0r]

On the way to a local car meet with a couple guys from a local group we just met decided to do a friendly highway roll. GT500 (not me) mods are: springs, O/R X-pipe, 4.10 gears, canned tune and Borla axle-back. GTO is supercharged 6.0L running 7.5 lbs. of boost (not sure about other mods) putting down 460 RWHP. The guy with the goat was a really good sport and enjoyed the run as much as the rest of us. He said he always wanted to see how he'd do against a GT500. :beer:

Props to our cameraman for missing the jump for an incriminating shot of the driver :nonono:

Wow did the GT500 start in 6th? lol

Good kill.

Yeah I do like the blue also. I don't think I've seen a goat that color.

I don't know what mph and gear they rolled at. I was behind them :bored:

Wow the gt500 started a gear low, isn't pullied, and still won? Nice. I'm assuming the gto has a maggie? I think those kits are 5.5 psi so is the gto running a smaller pulley?

Yeah I was pretty impressed also. I think the 4.10s made the difference. I don't know what the GTO has on it aside from the blower at 7.5 psi putting down 460RWHP. I'll see if I can get one of them to chime in.

Well guys, this was me in the gt500. I started in 3rd because it would have been way too high of an rpm in 2nd. It was a good race for sure.

Ha, what better time to pop your post cherry than with a good kill :rockon:

Lol I know right. Awesome thread, thanks for posting it for me.

I have a GTO that had a maggie and with a blower cam at 8 PSI I put down 540 hp and killed GT500's all day. so I bet for those numbers he was running a lower PSI or he needs someone that can tune his car alot better. But good kill any ways

Good kill. 460rwhp seems pretty low for a maggied 6.0 I would have for sure thought that the goat would have put down more.

Obviously it would be the cam making the big difference for you. And doesn't a blower cam lower the psi level so you making 8 psi with a blower cam would show as 9 or 10 on a stock ls2? So your 8psi isn't comparable to 7.5 in a stock cam car. Correct?... Also what did your car trap in that 11.97 you have in your sig?

Good Kill!

No the cam did not lower my psi. I was running 8 psi before and after the cam. I picked up 40hp from the cam swap. I ran 11.9 blowing the tires off at line with a 2.1 60 ft. My car is an auto and should cut 1.6 if I could of had decent tires and hooked. It trapped 119

That doesn't make sense, the whole point of a blower cam is increase the exhaust efficiency and this lowers boost. Boost is just a byproduct of restriction. Is that 545 hp in your sig your crank hp guess because you should be trapping much more with that much power at the wheels.

2nd gear should go up to or around 80 in a stock geared GT500. Unless you were rolling over 60 I would have gone in 2nd. Either way good kill, 3rd got it done

Sure you did. :sleeping:
