> [@psychopjv](#): > > street and a prepped track are two different stories here. Ask GTO owners. **BIG** difference between this and the GTO. Just because its IRS donesn’t mean it can’t take a beating. This car had 0 wheel hop. Through the use of MR shocks, unequal dia half-shafts, and a stronger diff and gears. I bet this rear could take 800-900Hp with out complaining. ---

Good lord. easy Pat, I’m not saying it doesn’t have its limitations, just pointing out some of the specific differences. We have no idea where the week point is in the drive train in this thing. And I assume your refrence to not having one to test on is a reflection of that. All I am saying is there is vast improvements over what’s in the GTO and even the current Vette which handles power way better than the GTO does. The design of the GTO is garbage as far as IRS goes. But believe it or not, stickier is better as long as you donm’t get too crazy with the RPMs on launce you get less spin and = less hop. ---

so… this car won’t be allowed on any drag strip before a roll cage is installed… correct? I mean you’re only tires away from having a 10 second car. ---

That car WILL be allowed on a drag strip BTW. Any car off of the showroom floor can race. But…the second you modify it, and it breaks the 11.49 barrier they will make you put a cage in it. The same with a convertible. If it’s bone-stock they will let you run even though technically if you run a 13.99 or faster you need a cage, but how many 'verts will do that right off of the showroom floor? Um…every C5 'Vette, every C6 ‘Vette, Shelby Stangs, some LS1 Camaro’s, T/A’s, AMG Mercedes’, Beemers, etc… ---
