I ran into one the other day, guess he thought my car was all show so we lined them up by 3rd gear I had him by about 4-5 car lengths so I just let off the gas. He had full exhaust/intake in a LS2, pretty sure they run high 12s stock though

They're heavy and without aftermarket suspension have no handles. Sure the 6.0 is rated at 400/400 but still. Not that great. IMO.

Great cars. Simply because under all that Pontiac badging, it's not really American. It's an Australian Chassis that was designed to be IRS from day one. Stock to stock, it'll out handle most production Mustangs.

By comparison, the GT500 Top Gear tested ran the exact same lap time... with 100+ more horsepower...

They look like a rental car, like a pontiac grand prix or something. If you want a big bulky car just buy a sn95 or something.

i think they are faster and better looking then alot of raggedy ass foxbodies and sn95 s that people own and brag about on this board. ls2 are excellent motors and respond very well to light mods. those cars can VERY easily get in the 11 s and still have all the creature comforts and be reliable... i would own one in a heart beat if i didnt have a bunch or cars already. People that say they are crap are just haters that own high 13 sec foxbodies that wont pass smog.....
