Assuming your car is stock, with a 30 hp advantage it really comes down to driver skill.

They're AWD I believe as well. 320 hp to four wheels will take off quicker than 320 to two. That is one mechanical advantage they do have.

Better luck next time.

They also weigh a hell of alot less than our GTOs. Better hp/weight ratio.

Get some LT's, cat-back,UD, and a tune, then find him again and smoke his a$$.

Make it breath better (intake, exhaust) and get a dyno tune. That should be enough. If not, 100 shot of nitrous will do the trick!

P.S. I've roasted every STi I have ever raced so we are still on top!

That reminds me.... whatever happened to the GTO -vs- SRT4 race that I heard about a while back? Did anything ever come of it?

I'm not sure it was me. I'm hunting down a new Charger SRT8 currently. I just saw one the other day so it will only be a short time before we tangle.

Why??????

I ran one with my stock 05 GTO and beat him. It was a good race, but your beast will crush it by 30mph let alone a real run. You need to stick with Vipers if you want to pick on Mopars.
