Yeah actually my T type runs faster than 13 seconds...in the 1/4 mile. I don't know what it zero to sixties in...probably less than 5 seconds.

Stock? I recall they ran 13.80-13.90s stock or about what a Corvette would do.

At higher elevations. Most at sea level run very low 13's at 108mph. The 3200lb 400hp Corvette ran mid to high 12's.

Motortrend did 12.7 at 112mph in a LS2 vette

I thought we were discussing the 1986-1987 era Turbo Intercooled Buicks. I was referring to the Corvette of those years as being comparable but do not recall their 1/4 mile times.
I do recall the Buicks were high 13s stock.

And they're not known for getting fast 1/4 mile times either! The 'Vette was most likely a good deal quicker than that.

The thread is about the 2006 GTO. It was derailed by mention of the T-Type.

LOL, their drivetrains were GARBAGE!!!!!! I had one but sold it for a C6. Still loved the car but it was time to move up. The fastest I ran in my gto was a 11.4 @ 121

Garbage? An LS2 with a T56 is not garbage. Yours was obviously modified, and I'm guessing abused, so your opinion must be considered with that in mind.

Isn't that the same drivetrain in a C6?

Your not the guy in Texas who's turbo GTO went up in flames are you?

Looks like danielone spent a lot of $$ in mods on his GTO: http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/archive.../t-410390.html

Changed out a M6 to a A4 for drag racing, sprayed it and all that fun stuff.

I will say the A4 sucked, since my 2006 had it. I had a new tranny replaced at 21k miles under warranty because after I lost 3rd and 4th. I only had a Superchips a tune and drag raced it about 20 times. Damn thing died on me while in San Diego on vacation. It was a fun trip back to Las Vegas with just 1st and 2nd!
