160+ prolonged in a Goat without overheating your tranny??? I would still feel safer with a tranny cooler and a good tranny fluid for the Autobahn. In theory my own car will top out at 176 in the top of 5th, but I would be running around at a fairly high rpm... I am a bit skeptical about your freig...

Yep. The GTO auto is geared to match the manual on the 1320 given a good stick shifter, but once you hit about 120-130mph the 6 speed will freight train its ass past it. Plus with the 6 speed I can do 160+ mph all day and not worry about my transmission overheating :P I drag race simply because I fe...

Well he does low 13's now, he was talking about his first time at the track. Another GTO guy's first run was 28 seconds (:O!). He needs a new clutch though, especially since he cammed it. Given the price of the car plus the IRS it's easy to find folks who haven't really had experience drag racing wi...

First time at San Antonio Raceway
Had a great time with a bud of mine with a GTO last friday. Cut a relatively awful 14.8 second time, but felt better when he said his first time out he couldn't get out of the 15s with his 420hp GTO (mine is stock). First run was the best at 14.8, left traction control on and just released the clutc...

Everything causes wear, get used to it. Even if your car spent it's lifetime in a garage oxidation and breakdown of the compounds will take affect. I take the side of safety and staying in gear gives you more options than coasting. Turning off your engine on a public road gives me the creeps, your n...
