I have MY2000, friend of mine just bought the 2005 Pontiac GTO. It has a standard transmission, and a All-aluminum 6.0L Gen IV LS2 V8 engine with 400 hp and 400 lb-ft torque.
I raced him, with about a 5mph rolling start, 3-times, and then we switched cars, and did it again. Each time the GTO beat the M5! Not by a huge amount...maybe 1.5 to 2 car lengths. Aarrggghhhhh can you say super-charge me!?!??!?! I guess the GTO is a lot lighter than the 4-door sedan M5.
So be careful out there...if you have a stock M5, watch out for those GTO's! I wonder if I could shoehorn the new V-10????
hmmm
