6.0 GTO so slow

Well I thought the 6.0's were running low 13's and some dipping into the high 12's stock. I haven't had a chance to run any yet so when one of them followed us to a 'race spot' I had to run him. I was behind him most of the way there and it sounded very mean, the owner said it has intake and exhaust, I am bone stock except for wider tires in the rear. The road we raced on I'd say is a bit under a 1/4 mile.

1st race: From a dig, turning traction control all the way off as he is doing a huge burnout on street tires. I take off from idle in D and steadily pull a few cars on him as we run down the road.

2nd race: We turn around and race back from about 15mph. This race was a little closer, but I still pulled on him pretty nicely.

His response: "I can't believe that family car just beat me!". I really thought those 6.0's were quicker than that though.

To this day, i've raced 4 of them

2 at the track, and 2 on the road...ALL nasty kills


I have very little doubt the SRT8 300C is faster than manufacturer numbers indicate (my car has run a 12.81@109.7 STOCK)...and the "GTslo"...is without a
doubt, SLOWER than advertised (i've never had a close race with a single 1 of them *car or less*)


and let's not mention the GTslo's "jelly bean" body style
