On the way home... we decided to have some highway pulls... from 55 mph to a higher speed... we were dead even with me just barely moving up on him inch by inch, which i would contribute to him shifting the car... from a 70 mph pull, he instantly put 1 car length on me over and over, and we would then just hold it there until the end of the run.

I'm not sure what a GTO puts to the wheels stock.. but he put down 333 whp 2 days after he got the car. Yes, it has more power, but it weighs a lot more then the SRT. On the same dyno, i put down 290 whp.

As for head turning ability, I could care less if people turn and see me car, sure its nice, but as long as i like that car, what difference does it make what other people think. And btw, my SRT-4 Neon turned more heads then the SRT6, with the prices still dropping like a bad meal from taco bell, there are crossfires every where here in chicago now.

As for insurance, people pay what they pay based on age and location.... I don't have a bad driving record, most companies quoted me $1,600 - $1,800 per 6 months on the SRT6, i went with All-state because there are 2 other cars on the policy and my home.
