My Lightning vs 05 GTO vs 350z vs civic hatch

Went to area 51 and had some decent runs with a few of my friends.

Mods

03 L - 2.8 upper, tune, cai, exhaust, nitto drag radials 386/470

05 GTO - a4 stock

350z - test pipes, cai, bald tires showing the wire

civic hatch - motor swap, lsd, 80 shot

We raced from various speeds, digs, 20 rolls, 35 rolls, and a few highway blasts.

Overall I beat every car out there with the GTO being the only car to give me a loss. From a stop I would say the Lightning would be faster with traction, from a roll he edges me out past 80 pretty good. Our first race was from a stop to about 115-120 with him a decent car ahead.

There is another video of in car from the gto but the owner hasn't posted it yet, will post when it comes up.

I think the Lightning might need a lower now for another 30 hp or so to prevent any pulling back once we get going.. or I might just bring the cobra out to play

Enjoy

Looks like the only reason that GTO pulls at higher speeds is probably the aerodynamics.

Sweet ride you got there.

Spyder- Add a 4 Lb lower and try the GTO again. It will be a different story....count on it. You need more boost. Even my bolt-on mods 5.0 beats the 400 pony goats every time.

Awesome video...I think you'll beat the GTO in the quarter mile at a drag strip...you're doing an awful lot of spending on takeoff...at the strip, you'd be hooking up...

I had one good launch and I was an easy 2-3 cars out front before we started to stay even. The nitto's seem to be moody, sometimes they are great and other times they just break loose and this is all with the same routine.

I'm kicking around the idea of adding a 4lb lower on top of the 2.8, I know I would need spark pulgs, a mafia for saftey and a new tune. I have an aftermarket computer and I wonder if they could tune it just through that instead of me getting an xcal. What would a 4lb do as far as horsepower and torque if i'm making 386/470 right now? I heard 450 is the limit for the stock blocks, or rods lol. I don't want to break the daily driver...

Spyder- You won't need a mafia with 6 extra lbs over stock. The added 4 Lb should easily place you over 400 rwhp with a good tune most likely like 410 with your combo.Get a set of NGK Tr6 or Denso It22's and your golden . Power you will also feel!
