You went from a Scion to a GTO?? That is like going from Rosanne to Pam Anderson. Congrats. My inlaws live in Greenwood, nice area. Good luck with the GTO.
Coolness.
Now lets get started on those mods!
Im a Deputy with Marion County....so if you get pulled over for doing absolutely nothing....it might be me.
Mine wont get out much in the winter unless its a dry sunny day.
It will most likely be in the garage getting a heart transplant (cam) :cheers
Wow...not a lot going on here.
I was hoping to see more Indy goats chiming in.
Well, just a side note: Ive ordered the TR220 cam.
Initially I was going to do the install myself.....but, I found a shop on the west side of Indy who will do it cheap and have access to a dyno.
Some thing are better left to the pro's. :cheers
Thats the best thing most of the time. Have to see the cams when you get theb them finished.
Not much goin on, i know. Its winter time not many goats out either, hate driving in the cold and snow.
Hey 66
Whats the word on your cams.....Did you get them done yet. Can't wait to get some things for the spring, wheels, springs, possible short shifter.arty:

Yeah, posted in the tech section under 'teenie bopper cam' :lol:
Ended up taking it to Hoosier Performance Specialists at 10th/Country Club Rd on the west side. Dyno tune comes this week.
Got a 220/220 .552/.552 114lsa cam, Comp Cams 918 springs and hardened pushrods from Thunder Racing out of Louisiana.
This thing scoots pretty good now.
I bought my 05 goat 1/2/06. Phantom Black, black interior, chrome wheel option. (see: New to GTO forum, 56k Beware for pics and what not)
Anyway, I live near Garfield Park, South side Indy and cruise US 31 from Downtown to Suds in Greenwood. Hope to see you guys out there.
Only mod I have on the car is a cold air intake from LPE, and tinted windows.
Awesome to see ya on here. I say a black GTO behind me today on emerson ave. No tint though.
Suds, I have been there, will go back in summer time when i have my wheels.
We all have to get together and discuss GTO stuff, spring/ summer cookout or something.
Thunder Racing had a holiday special. Cam, hardened pushrods and Comp 918 springs $539.00.
The install, tune and dyno was in the $700.00 area.
The dybo #'s didnt quite jive, so we're taking it to a different dyno later this month.
I only put down 330 rwhp and 326 rwtq. I was expecting around 360-370 rwhp and 350-365 rwtq.
Either way, the car is a beast...........yet subtle.
I keep looking, but have yet to see another GTO on the road, since I bought mine..... May be once the weather starts getting better (although today was pretty amazing).
thelast60,
I saw a black '04 w/tinted windows at Southport/Emerson on 1-13-06 around 5pm.....was that you?
If it was........do you remember the county cop that was eyeballing your ride?
Tonight was my first weekend with the car, that I got to test her out. (don't listen too closely Route66, I'll deny, deny, deny..lol). I got to race an 06 Mustang GT, 95 SVT Mustang, and a 2000 Z28. When I would launch with them, I would pull away, but when I was slow off the line I stayed back until I reached 3rd, but then they would slow down. They wouldn't finish!
I also saw two GTOs tonight! An 04, P. Black, that had the 05 spoiler (any of you?) I didn't get a chance to talk to him. I came across another 05, torrid red, w/ pinstriping. I got a chance to talk to him, a good guy. The 05 was an automatic. I was absolutely stunned at how well the auto pulled away from me. It didn't help that I kept missing third gear, but either way he pulled away from my m6.
I had alot of fun tonight. I hadn't got out and raced in probably 5 years. I can not wait for Tuesday night amatures at IRP. But, man do I ever need to practice my shifting under load! LOL
The word is out Ladies and Gentlemen. No one would approach us (I cruised w/ the red05 for about an hour). Everyone kept a half car lenght or better behind the goats.
Respect the Goats!
Jake
