Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
The GTO is one of my favorite recent (ish) production cars. I'd love to have it, unfortunately a car of this style and performance is still about 18 years away for me, having a 7 week old and a 19 month old lol.Originally Posted by CHA-LEE
Boy I would love a C63AMG in 2 door. I've been pushing my wife on that for years.
But I'm not doing anything like this in it. Could I use a fraction of the power appropriately? Nope.
Obviously not a golfer.
Not forgetting forgetting anything when I say this...No it wont. This isn't your typical platform with an extra 15-30hp on the table left by the ecm.

714 stock vs stock. Depending on the desired level of comfort, a GTO can be brought down to sub 3000lbs with minimal effort. And still be legal and daily driven. May take a LOT more than a tune and pipes to overcome that. I know for a fact there are some in town with similar power that are approaching 3k.

"Yup Im going to ridicule the driver because
I'm perfect
I would never make that mistake
I know how to drive
I once was told by a guy that said he was a pro how too
He just a rich ass hole that doesn't apprieciate anything.
The comments on that link kill me. Whatever happened unless he admits something happened. No one was hurt yet the state still charged him with are less driving. The state and the people that ridicule him disgust me."
Yup Im gonna ridicule the driver because:
Im not perfect but Ive never run into a tree
I know how to drive, hence the never running into a tree, ditch, other vehicle.
No one has to tell me to slow down when there's a turn in the roadway.
He most certainly seems like a rich, unskilled, careless asshole.

OK then how about we put it like this. ANYONE that would buy a high performance car and wreck it by over-correcting and hitting a tree less than a couple of hours after taking possession needs to sue the manufacture for selling him a defective car.
Sorry but I started racing at 12. I have never had a chargeable accident on the street. Been known to play in some of those same twisties up there with old, ill handling muscle cars. Most modern cars are so forgiving it is not even funny. To stuff something like that into a tree tells me more balls than skill and that is a dangerous combination when your not playing a video game.
Just about everyone that plays with the new stuff understands that UHP summer tires and cold weather do not mix at all. It is a big, heavy car with a bunch of HP and a large polar movement of inertia. Once it looses grip and starts rotating it is not going to want to stop and changing the direction requires familiarity with it.
Anyone that plunks down that kind of money and thinks the machine makes him invincible needs to watch all those videos of stupid people winning stupid prizes. From the reports and pictures he took home first place.
Just my take on it.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
Heck, new tires on sport bikes probably catch a lot of newbies out in any kind of weather. Haha who am I kidding it's always a panic over throttle/clutch/brakes
One of my good customers died in a motorcycle crash on Riverdale road a few years back. RIP Bear!

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
Off topic but how much snow we getting up there so far? Figures we get some snow and I'm down in La Junta for the week.
