New member here.
Yesterday 6 of us drove from Charleston, SC to Darlington, SC for a GTO only dragrace.
There were over 40 cars there and we had the track to ourselves.
Here is some video of us on the way there.
Of course we had to have some fun.
1st video is of me in the right lane. '06 GTO Ls2 M6. Camera car is a '04 LS1 automatic. '04 kicks down to 2nd gear, I stay in 4th. he walks away from me.

This video is of me in the left lane while the camera car(same '04 GTO LS1) tries to get in front of me so he can spray me with his windshield washer fluid(i had already done it to him).(yes it is immature)
I drop down to the 3rd gear this time and you can hear me chirp 4th gear :12 into the video as i move away.

I can post videos of the dragrace if anyone is interested.

Are there many Vauxhall Monaros in the the UK? We were there in '06 and this Summer and I only saw one in '06.

My car is a '06 Pontiac GTO with M6 transmission. It was built the last week of production and has a June 2006 build date. It has 18,500 miles. Modifications are very limited. LS7 clutch and flexplate. Tick performance adjustable master cylinder,new slave cylinder, throwout and pilot bearing. jhp v.2 lip spoiler and very rare(in the USA) Ronal R41 18X8 wheels in sterling silver. tires are Bridgestone RE760s. The GTO is not my daily driver. I also have a Cadillac SRX CUV V6 RWD.

Look forward to learning and hearing about your cars.

Some tidy looking cars there. Ro's in the UK are few and far between and one of the biggest displacement cars you can buy so they get alot of looks! smile

Thanks guys.
Here are some videos.
first race is a 9.300 to a 9.303 at 150mph.
Some of these cars probably have around 1000hp!!!

Some of my friends in their close to stock or stock cars were running 12.9-13.5 second runs.
Lots of wheelhop which really impacted the launches.
