Also, if I recall correctly, an 05 GTO is the first year with the 6.0 LS2 engine (the earlier year was a 5.7 LS1). Got to say that the LS2 motor shoves that goat right down the road.

Bone-stock this is 400 hp/400 lbs of torque, with a zero to 60 in the mid four second range. Quarter mile clicks by in the mid 13's.

The kid is a dipstick with what he wants to do (and even more of a dipstick if he actually does have the displacement on his engine wrong - LOL!!).

But here's the thing... For not a whole lotta cashola, an LS2 or for that matter, an LS1, can throw down 600 to 700 hp in street trim running air conditioning. If he actually had 5,000 to spend, and he spent it wisely, he could build a forced induction freak of nature that launches hard enough to register on the richter scale.

Now clearly understand that I am a huge Porsche fan, but before I am that - I'm a horsepower junkie. These LS series engines kick ass and take names. Watch what you tangle up with in a straight line speed contest, and that includes hopped up EVO's and subies - LOL!
