No track time. On the street it feels like low 12's due to traction. If I could actually stick and get my 60' times around 1.60 based on my hp I should be high10 and low11 area.
Funny this is the same exact problem I had with my turbo 7thgen. The GTO has IRS and even has the dreaded wheel hop.

Rep Power: 0 I am still on stock rear end. The car is built in Australia and there is no swappable parts off of US cars. Someone is working on swapping the Cobra IRS rear end on to the GTO. It would take custom drive shaft, drive axel, etc.. Believe it or not alot of the same issues with a boost 7th gen. There just is not a big market for aftermarket parts. The LSx series motors have a ton of parts to get the hp up, put the rear end is lacking.
I threw up the second pic to upset the tree huggers on here. What is the pic?
Hint: Can you hear me know?

Liking the GTO.. Paint your damn hood though!! your not a rice burner anymore lol.
Glad to see your in love with your GTO. I have an 04 impulse blue GTO as a daily driver, might seen my post on the forums www.ls1gto.com
A good ls7 swap will run you around 17 grand. There are two members with it currently...tons of custom work to the engine bay and everything else! worth it (hell ya)!
]
To all future performance car owners on this forum. You will not find a bigger bang for the buck and nicer interior than the GTO
here is pics from STG meet in cali I attended. This is how GTOs throw car meets

Rep Power: 0 It is a carbon fiber banshee hood. It came on the car. I am not the only one on ls1gto.com with the DriftR rims. I am currently saving for methanol, gears, drag radials, mods...Once it is done I will have the spoiler, mirrors, hood repainted back to red and the rest de-riced.
But right now I am not too worried about it. Makes it easier to pic on SRT4s and Hondahs. They love to go after what they think is rice. Realy would you think someone in a car with carbon fiber hood, driftR rims and neons would have 550whp?

Rep Power: 0 The rear end sucks on the GTO. At least you know you can find some meat to put under a corvette.

Rep Power: 294 I have the ausie ripshift. I was thinking the 3.91s do to bad boost lag with the STS kit. The larger gear will spin things up a lot faster. I am even getting tempted to part out and find a used C6. I saw a procharged C6 with head/cam/headers put 711whp on a dyno last saturday. To break 700whp they sprayed the intercooler down with N02 and it jumped from 650 to 711.
The rear end sucks on the GTO. At least you know you can find some meat to put under a corvette.

As for the c6, its going up for sale soon! Getting replaced by a yellow c6 z06 2007

Rep Power: 226 Not sure that the rice makes that car a sleeper LOL. Not knowing much about the GTO, I would see the hood and assume that it is a 6.0. Right then I would be thinking that I am in a bit over my head, but I would love to give it a go. Then I would get **** on hard core and I would know that it is well beyond a 6.0. Honestly if I did not hear the turbo I would think it was a 6.0 with some crazy NA mods. If we did not race I would think that it was a 6.0 and still a fast car. Unless you left the 5.7 emblem on it I would never guess that it is a 5.7

But I think I found a buyer for my turbo kit and might get the C6 by christmas. The civic brought me to the Skyline and the GTO is guiding me towards a Corvette... Boost is like crack one try and your hooked...Procharged C6 here I come.
