Not a whole lot. LS2 six speed manuals pull about 335whp, and his was rated at 393. GTO's are just fast fucking cars, period. The bottom end is plenty strong enough to run a 150 wet shot with no issues. 485whp would be about an 11.0 car with a quick shifting chica at the wheel.

Many peeps are gotten awesome service out of the autos. It seems to be kinda hit or miss. That's why I want the manual.

You won't run that fast with a manual. Especially your 60ft times.

I actually own a 2004 impulse red m6 gto and let me be the first to tell ya it's a very under rated vehicle. Quite a few people have said that they look like a grand prix but whenever I look at mine I can't help but think they're insane. The only issue i've had with mine is the irs is pretty shitty and puts stress on the outside of the tire to which i've already gone through 2 sets of rears in under 30k miles of "spirited driving". The best i've managed with mine in stock form is 13.6 on streets but some people have hit as low as 13.2-13.1 with excellent 60ft times. For the money it is comparable to an M3 bmw. Remember this is not a general motors car this is actually a holden morano from australia shipped over and put GTO badges on it. It's like a european sports sedan, it's quick and comfortable and you won't find a better interior in anything wearing a gm badge. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.
