i know you e55 guys have ran into quite a few GTOs.. earlier last week, a buddy of mine wanted to see how my e63 "keeps up" with his acclaimed 520hp GTO..

he isnt telling me any of his mods

and all i have are the TTM modified air boxes as far as performance mods will go.

should i go for it? raise the stakes? or sit this one out?

 

Go for it! Video it too!

 

Take'em from a 2nd gear 30mph roll

 

alright, thanks for all the help you guys.. ill try to get a good looking video up as soon as we get this run going

 

^^^^^ This!

 

Do it! Video is a must. Hope this race is in Mexico

 

I am betting E63 with the win. The traction problem with GTOs and the Benz having amazing traction control and shift points.

I am going E63 FTW......(VIDEO). Also I did race a 6.0 GTO with at least an exhaust and my E63 was stock at the time and I won by 1 1/4 cars in Mexico.

 

Good luck

 

What GTO? Can't be Ferrari as that has more hp than 520.
There used to be a Holden GTO, is that the one you mean?

 

Pontiac

 

Pontiac GTO in the USA market

 

thanks, ill get this video posted up asap, mounting 2 new rear tires within the next few days

 

If he is making 520rwhp, that is good for mid 11's in that car, and it will rape you from a roll. Your best bet would be from a dig, as he will probably be spinning, whilst you will squat and go

 

you should end every comment with that "squat and go" statement as long as your rockin' that signature pic!

 

 

+1. My brother in law had a 6.0 GTO with full exhaust, cam, intake. He was putting down around 390-400 to the wheels. Best run was 12.8. But 520 is a different animal.

 

He more likely means 520 crank HP unless it's a built larger displacement engine or has forced induction. The 04s have the smaller 5.7 engine and the 05-06 have the better 6.0. The 04s have a flat hood and single exit exhaust making them easy to identify, although either is easy to modify into the 350-390 RWHP range without cracking into the engine. 440-480 RWHP is common with modified heads and valve train upgrades.

They also have tiny rear wheel wells severely limiting tire size and traction for a 3800-3900 lb car.

Go for it.

 

yeah, my mistake for that, he said he has 520 to the crank, not to the wheels

 

In that case, it will be fairly close with you edging him out on the top end. That puts him about 440rwhp and 12.2-12.5 range in the 1/4......

 

If he's quoting crank hp, he's probably just adding up "HP" numbers for each of his mods. K&N- 15hp. Exhaust- 25 HP, etc.

When I had my CTS-V with an LS6, I only made 380 rwhp (on a heartbreaker dyno dynamics) with an aggressive cam, longtubes, intake, exhaust and custom tune. For him to make a true 520 crank, he should have a lot more work done, which would make his car quite deadly.

 

No disrespect to the OP as this is not the first nor will be the last, but I wish folks would stop posting this type of stuff, just go out and get it done, then put up results, because over half of the time, no meet ever occurs anyhow and it just waste everyone's time. Nostradamus racing does not accomplish much.

 

E55 vs JB4 335

 

BIATCH you better let me come spank a GTO!! Dont hate!

 

Dannish I have 2 GoPro's too! Let me come hold it down for the 55's
