As for this race, chances are this was a LS1 GTO auto which means it is a lower 14 second car. There's a BIG difference between the performance of the LS1 GTO and the LS2 GTO. On paper it's only 50hp, but in the real world and under the clocks, it's about .7 seconds. A 6MT GTO or an LS2 GTO should run down a stock or mostly stock G35. That is assuming they both leave at the EXACT moment. If the other driver has a .5 second delayed reaction, you're going to see a mid 13 second car get walked by a lower 14 second car. I wish people would understand this.
