Yea, it was an auto for sure, because I heard the lag in his car when he gunned it. I don't know much between the differences in GTO's, but I know it was one of the newer ones because it looked like my friends 06 GTO and I've driven his, it's really really heavy.

Their heavy cars... power to weight ratio in our favor
once they add a SC.... then they pull away from a roll

Trust me, the LS1 auto versions need alot less than a SC to pull a S2K from a roll. With a SC they will RUN away from a roll.

S2000
2800/240 = 11.67lbs per hp unit
GTO
3750/350 (04 model) = 10.71lbs per hp unit
3750/400 (05+) = 9.375lbs per hp unit.
He won because he raced an Auto, not because of power to weight. Which is even less of a factor at high speed so the GTO's advantage is even greater when you are rolling.

i posted a story on honda tech about a simliar situation, i raced a GTO, must have been a LS1 and he barely pulled on me, from a 60-115 roll he pulled on me my front bumper was at his door/fender very close, he had a loud loud exhaust, i couldn't even see his exhaust.
it turned into 15 pages of crap. =/ im glad to see im not the only one.
