Pontiac GTO 2004-2006 - GTO 05 06 Need info on them.

Hello goat owner out there, I wanted to know whats the top speed difference from a a4 gto and a m6 ,which will hit 200mph?

I don't know of a GTO that has hit 200 yet. Would think it would be a bit easier with a M6.

so a a4 would at least hit 180?

The car in my sig went 188 indicated (more like 175) with a cam and a 150 shot.

I'm sure you could hit 200 with the proper gearing and aero.

They won't do this stock if that's what you are asking.

Ok this what I wanted to do to the car:
1. Cai
2. lpe gt-3 cam
3. ported intake
4. custom tune.
So what do you all think about this.

I wanna do headers but I want it to appear stock as possible.

Do headers if you are doing a cam.

Are the headers for gto's quiet?

+1 Most definitely.

Are the headers for gto's quiet?

If you are trying to race someone that knows about gto's they will be able to tell the difference in the sound.

Dame! So headers for a GTO is quieter than headers on a f-body?

Lol at this thread.... Sorry bro but your gonna need a lot more than what you said to hit 200mph.... Where the hell are you going that you need to go 200mph anyways lol....

Doubt that would get you 170.

Dame! I can get 170 in my ws6.

The high speed is for when I race out here in the N.O.L.A ,See sometimes when we run it can go over a quarter, Ya see so I want a all around fast car like a c6.

You guys have me second guessing.

With my mods my car can hit 60 - 150 in about 12 seconds..... When I was bone stock I hit 163mph with no effort... I since then havent gone any faster but I sure in the hell can get from 0 - 150 real quick.... I probably can get a tad over a 170mph, 200mph would take a lot of mods, one being FI and better gearing. Gearing alone can get you to 200 but i dont know how long it would take nor how stable it would be...

Dame! So headers for a GTO is quieter than headers on a f-body?
No...The only difference it makes is mainly Size (1¾ or 1⅞) and Brand/Type of Material.

Headers are not quieter on this car then another, they true dual exhaust CAN make it quieter. If you want a car that will go that fast you should probably be looking at vettes. My car has hit 170 a few times but I have different gearing and over 400 RWHP. The people that have hit VERIFIED 200 MPH + have had built engines and twin turbos for the most part.

OH! ok I get it I'll look into it a little more before I decide on it.

And when yall say gear what size gear would help me get there?

Worst thread ever.

:turd:

agreed

Worst thread ever.

Worst thread ever.

Sorry your highness just change the channel.:(

Stock with the limiter removed you should definitaly see at least 170mph but it will take some time to get there. The mods you want done will probably get you to 180 maybe 185 at best. To see 200mph takes a considerable amount more power and it would also help if you lowered your car and did some basic weight reduction.

But keep in mind. Its not how fast a car can go that matters most, its how fast it can get there.

Thanx ! bro thats what I wanted to hear. See i want a stock fast car and a Gto fits my every need for family,making groceries ,and its pretty.
And has a little power when you need it ,but i'm getting tired of the f-bodies.

Please don't buy a GTO. It isn't the right car for you.

If that is true how about letting him find out himself?

Not everybody buys the same car for the same reason.
And if he wants a 4 seater car that has the potential to hit 200mph without investing too much money then it seems like it IS the right car for him.

No its not....to hit 200 in a GTO will take a SHIT TON of power....and a shit ton of supplemental mods to even contemplate doing it.

The OP posted here for OPINIONS. WTF makes yours more valid than mine?

I wasn't going to go any further, but since you insist. First, choosing a M6 vs. an A4 based on which one will get you closer to 200 is about the most idiotic reason I've ever heard for choosing a transmission on a car that will be daily driven.

Second, our insurance rates are high enough, and the OP doesn't strike me as the sharpest tack in the box. There's a LOT of things to consider for that kind of speed, and just the power to get there in a DD car can't be taken lightly. The suspension on these cars hasn't impressed me for doing that in stock form at all.

And finally, I'm a father. It would break my heart to read the story of what would happen should this guy discover the joy of strut rub at 180.

Amen.

If your only goal is to hit 200 mph for what ever reason (maybe for the salt flatts?) just throw in a really high gear, higher then 2.73s get as close to a 1:1 ratio as possible, instead of throwing a cam that would have a little longer durations. Take that with a m6 and a very unrestricted exhaust setup, you would do it. Can be done.

Just a guess, but I'd say that NOLA means New Orleans Lousiana instead of the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Keep in mind he wants to DD this car and only add power that can't be detected.

If by dance you mean handle then please dont expect much, i mean i only have tires, but my friends 06 Cammed GTO has a full pedder suspension and every cross frame/structure support you could imagine. Kinda sad how he still cant hang close with a stock mazdaspeed 3 on off ramps. But its till FWD so in the end the mazda still loses in my mind haha

But dont be expecting corvette levels of handling from such a heavy and soft car. Its much more of a GT. Great over long distances.

pretty sure stock gears can get you there, i did the online transmission thing and it said 6th will put you at 240 but i think thats bull.

forced induction is the best bet imho.

Dance=means get down in my phrase .

But it all boils down to,I want to give up the f-body right! So I wanted to go to the next best thing.

If you have the money you should consider a G8 GXP, way more practical and i would suggest finding a new one from a dealer. When Pontiac officialy went dead there were a few brand new ones going for 29k BRAND NEW! Which is crazy since the weeks before if you ordered one with the incentives it came out to about 34k after all costs have been added! If i had the chance i would have traded in my car on the spot, or just bought one and worried about selling mine later.

But i dont know if you can still find them that cheap. If you know someone that works at a dealer have them check the dealer auctions for you, there might still be some GXPs in the system, just my .02 cents

These cars can handle pretty fucking well.....you just need to know what parts to buy.

Mind sharing? lol

Also do these parts kill ride quality?
Ill take all the info you care to dulge out on this particular topic

Just do research and don't mindlessly buy a pedders' package.

You can buy better bushings ( complete bushing set ) from energy suspension for much less. Buy superpro or lovells front radius rod bushings. EVERY bushing in the car replaced for about 250-300.

Then choose out your spring/shocks...if you want stiff and handling and a normal spring/shock combo use king springs or lovells springs with koni adjustable shocks....

If you want coilovers use KW or the new BC racing setup

Either way if you follow that plan instead of buying pedders' parts you'll wind up with enough leftover to buy some hotchkis swaybars and the appropriate no bush front endlinks and all of a sudden you have a sweet riding/adjustable car that handles better then something with a full pedders' package and you're at about half-3/4 the cost depending on what options you select.....

But....Like I said....do you research.
