I love it! Especially the wood grain and the roof rack! I wonder what's under the hood? Probably a VERY worked LT1!

A bone stock car loses to a gutted, sprayed LT1 car, what's the big deal? Someone from the GTO forum mentioned the wagon's setup, and also the fact that he went 11.8X to the wagon guy's 12.0X in his mildly modded 04 GTO. My 04 had no problem beating up on 13 second slugs either, so a kill on a stock 13 second car just doesn't impress me.

Hey Artie-

Any time a grocery getter/ family Griswold mobile beats up on a sports car, it's amusing. Forget about the set-ups or defending the GTO performance (it's a stout car) and just enjoy the video!

I'm trying to find the video where an 03 cobra got smoked bad by a turbo caravan. I have it saved on my computer somewhere, what made it more amusing was the cobra went 11.8 or so and the van was in the 10s. 13 second cars aren't any fun to watch, or drive, for me.

I posted that Vid back in Jan - here's the link to the thread.

Owner goes through the buildup of whats in it - and NO ARTIE - its not a stripped out hulk. Yes its sprayed....but its far from a strip only car.

Haha, there's a guy around here my dad knows with a 90's era Roadmaster wagon and he's got a GN engine in it. Takes it down to the track and runs probably 11's, throws street tires on it, drives home and his wife has her mid 13's grocery getter back. I think it might also be sprayed though.
