ok, todd now, the wife is on the gazelle :)

anyways nice and lo (or that new confusing name you have :)) i absolutely love the gto (as much as one can love a hunk of metal)

i still visit the silverado forums everyday. i will once again own another SSS :woot: :rockon: :Chevy:

How is the automatic faster then the manuel.

well, a ECM (or PCM, whatever you wanna call it....a dang computer) will always be able to shift faster than a human when going WOT. there is so much human error involved with the M6. when i went to the track the first time with the GTO (a few days after buying the goat), the best i could run was a 14.05 (m6). i couldnt launch worth a sh#t, and i was shifting way too late. now iam assured i could pull a 13.3 or so, after practice. most automatice guys are running consitent mid to low 13s in good weather, even with stock rubber. with a good stall and some DRs, the auto guys could easily be pulling mid to high 12 second passes all day long.

yup nice_n_lo thats me! changed my name here to something non auto related (makes it easier if i trade in my truck, which i wanna do) fallnanglofdeth (fallen angle of death) is hardcore!
anyways todd good to have you here

Todd,you like GTO's?

eh, they are ok

I personally think GTO's suck,but i love mine.LOL
