I agree, that is rich. I have just a supercharger, or just a 50 shot.

was it auto or manual? 04s have the LS1 from the Camaro/Firebird with 350hp, and they weigh in at about 3750lbs. the 05s have the LS2 from the C6 base vette with 400hp and again, weigh about 3750lbs. Chances are, if all you have is an intake, then it was probably an 04, possibly even auto. good kill nonetheless, either GTO has an amazing engine, it just needs to go on a diet.

04's trap like 105 ish correct?
05-06 trap 107+ right?

I drove an 04 auto, and it was deceptively fast from a roll.

basically yeh - 104ish for the manual. thats why im thinking it was an 04 auto, or not perfectly driven manual. if it was an 05, then the driver needs some lessons...

I drove a GTO and they are pretty cool. They have lots of tq and slide sideways easily.
