slk32 vs 6.0 GTO

The other night in mexico pulled up next to a dark blue GTO with some fat tires and a loud exhaust. He did 3x honk from a slow roll, I let him a pull a 1/4 cl then let him have it.. cut off at 100 and had at least 2 cl's on him.

Sounds believable. My stock SLK55 walked a GTO 6.0 fairly easily.

They have more power, but they weigh a lot more. The much lighter SLK can beat them easily.

Did you know you would beat him easily to give him a 1/4 cl lead?

These cars are not very fast at all. I raced a 6.0 procharged GTO and he ran 13.9. with wheel spin. I did a burnout competition before th race, so i had massive wheel speen and ran like a 14.7~9. GTO's have a good fear factor, if you never raced one, but they're slow as hell.

You guys are clueless about the 6.0 GTO and I call BS if you're stock or it was an LS1, too.

They are 107-109mph trap speed cars and run low 13s.

An SL65 can also run a 13.9 with horrible wheelspin...so that is not indication of how fast the car can be, but more so the obvious outcome of lack of traction. In a straight line, they are pretty quick; the SLK's lighter weight gave it the edge here.

SLKs trap 110 and run in the 12.7 range. 6.0 GTO is slower.

I believe you are misconstruing the SLK55 numbers with those of the SLK32.

The power of the SLK32 and 55 are the same. The 32 is a few hundred pounds lighter but the 55 makes up for it with the 7 speed tranny. I won't argue against the SLK55 being the better car. The 55 is better in every concievable way.

There is someone on this board who has a sig "big motor small car" running those #s. Also Motor Trend ran high 12s.

There's quite a few members here who have ran their cars. They're all consistent high 12s at 110. Except the supercharged ones that run mid 11s at 120.

The 6.0L GTO trap 107 low 13s in 45degrees calm the last time I saw at E-town. A rather weak trap for that temp.

Nice kill. The GTO is a pig with a nice engine.

Procharged LS2's are capable of 500-700rwhp depending on the setup (and I'm talking about a stock block). You'd be toast if he could launch.

I only got one run in on my C6 Z06 at e-town. I ran a 14.2 because I had a nail in my tire (thank God for Runflats) and wasn't able to get any traction. You think my car is slow because I ran a 14.2? Trust me, the GTO would spank you on the highway where traction is less of an issue.

I'm just sharing my story. I still think it's slow for the size of its engine. I had wheel spin for longer than he did. If I had no wheel spin I would of ran mid-high 13's and beaten him.
