American muscle cars are all the rage and while everyone thinks they have the fastest car on the block, it's time them to prove it. In this episode of Driver Battles, we see a Pontiac GTO go head-to-head against an SRT Challenger. The only thing on the line is bragging rights proof that you're faster than the guy in the lane next to you.

I have the 2006 GTO. I like how now most people don't even know what it is, until you put some bus lengths on them.
Just bought mine !!! It’s awesome !!! Goats are becoming more hard to find !!!
@@Kreyes956 dude same lol. ive been asked multiple times what the car is and when i say gto the ask they look at me funny.
new owner of a 06 brazen metallic orange goat. shes fun and loves the freeway
Aussie here. GTO/Monaro has been my dream car since they came out in 2001. Got mine 2 years ago. Mines a series1 so its a little different to yours. Series 1 never made to the US. I'm surprised how much love they get in US. These cars are worth big bucks in Australia these days.
@@juskaleb387 they have always been popular. They just only offered them to short of a time. I was 15 when these came out. Never had the opportunity to get a decent enough job in time to buy one while they offered them
Gamer, u rule dude!
Gto’s for life🤘🏻
steve cook sorry to break it to you but Pontiac gto is Australian
@@yeetermcnash9171 pretty sure everyone who knows about the last gen gto knows that. It was even on the window stickers at dealerships
@@yeetermcnash9171 the car was designed in Australia but the engine was built in America
Pontiac GTO/Holden Monaro. Dont matter these cars are amazing❤ I have 06 GTO
I freaking love my goat man
Owning both the manual GTO and a manual scatpack I have to say the GTO is actually faster. Loved the video
Dont forget about your GHOST Redeye.....along with the GHOST Grand National...any many more GHOST...Mr. Keeping it a Buck....#BROKEJOKERALERT
I'm torn between both, I own Both D & GM I always wanted the newer challenger but miss my G6 😌 watching many videos to help make a decision.🤔
I like Pontiac GTO 2006 that design body looks elegant
johnathan- can’t drive stick. curb rash wheels. drives a boat.
irven- good taste in cars, nice wheels, car guy.
I hate how no one talks about gtos anymore 2005 had a 6.0 and 400 hp. Ultimate sleeper
Shhhhhh... don't let 'em know! I *want* them to think their S197 Mustangs or R/T Mopars have a fair chance....
@@entropy156 My sleeper 2006 LS-7 swap shows these MOPARS the meaning of the word "Respect"...500+HP, but the problem is tires, you either give away the sleeper effect, or put on the meats needed to avoid spinning for the first 500 yds. and give yourself away. I also have a 2005 "Holden" kit GTO with the stock mildly built LS-2, even more of a sleeper, since no one recognizes the Lion badge. Life is good.
Irvin was the whitest brown guy I’ve seen/heard
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
The GTO looks so much better without the rear spoiler
Awesome Video! Love the production and content in these. Keep up the awesome work!
Just got an 05 goat was going to get a newer Gt or that was the plan anyway. Glad I was able to to get the goat instead… Ls2 baby…
I had the GTO. It’s just classier than a dodge. Hands-down. I moved onto an Alfa Romeo Giulia quad But the GTO was definitely one of my favorite cars I’ve ever had
Thats why i love my goat, good car, decent power and rare to see on the roads. Unlike challengers, chargers, mustangs and Camaros. Nothing against them, they are just way too common. People dont expect to pull up bedside you hearing all that choppin😂.
People are scared to race the GTO haha. I had a guy in a nice BMW M3 driving along side me with no one else around and as soon as we got to a light, he got behind me instead of pulling up next to me. Maybe he just didn't want to race. I didn't either, but it was kinda funny.
I noticed the same thing bro . I have an 04 but the previous owner de badged it . Not only that it has a few of the 06 upgrades as far as the hood and bumper . A gt350 got behind me at the light and when i was waiting for a ctsv to catch up dude pulled up along side threw up the peace sign and turned the other way Lol
What a cool video for so many reasons... I race at that track all the time.. and actually know the dude with the GTO!! What up Irvin!!! Hell yeah the GTO getting the W!!
GTO makes 400HP stock. 375 to the wheels maybe? But if that’s so, the Challenger makes like 400 to the wheels and weighs like 500lbs more.
Was looking for this comment
Dude in the red hat cant drive. If they raced 10 times he'll lose all ten.
Well he won the two practice races so... that gto had a solid 450hp and over 500lbs weight advantage, ls2 had 395hp stock. Dodge had a 35hp and transmission advantage against a full bolt-on ls2 gto. I could beat that gto with that dodge. Give me 10 practice runs with the dodge and I'll win 80% of the time. Against an equal driver that can cut a light like me. I'm a former gto owner and have piloted them to mid 10's with 650rwhp. Taller sidewall of the tire of the Gto should equal the launch of the dodge. Automatic launches much better that a manual clutched car. It was a drivers race for sure. In the 1/8 mile you run a taller sidewall. Fuck the 20" tires. I could take any of these cars and beat either of these drivers. It's not always about you car, 1/8 mile is all about expirence of the drivers. Practice young drag racers.
So headers and a cold air are full bolt on now?
Mike Marquez apparently...the most basic starter mods XD
375hp that's it? Fuck my gto is full bolt on tune stock cam. Only thing extra I got is ported throttle body ported intake manifold and I put down 402whp 388wtq.
GTO needs dragbags.
Miss my Gto 🥺 same color too
Serg same here man I clicked on the video as soon as I saw the thumbnail. Mine was totaled about 7 months ago so the wound is still fresh 😂
I have a 2006 that color
What happened to it
Why did they say the goat only has 375 hp? Maybe to the wheels?
Yeah, but it's kinda weird because they said the Challenger had 485, which is not to the wheels.
Very cool dudes, awesome video
Awesome video as a GTO owner these cars don't get much love . So this was getting to watch. Both cars are great in there own way !
That GTO needs a 150 shot hahaha
Make that a 300 just to make people sell their cars
Welp 2 mins in and this video already sucked, stock 05-06 GTO's are rated at 400 crank horsepower out of a 6.0L LS2 through either a 4-speed 4L65e or a 6-speed T56, it's amazing how many RUclips videos and automotive websites get simple shit like this which takes half a second to look up wrong.
Joel Stockton are you in the gto Facebook pages😂 your name looks really familiar lol
@@cameronreplin4759 Yes I am lol
The 2004 GTO came with 375 hp, 2005 and 2006 had 400hp.
GeraldLaz38 350*
Cameron Replin You are right, my bad. The 2004 was the LS1 wasn't it?
The GOAT 💪🏽💨
Nah man the guy in the challenger doesn’t know how to race😂😂
J.A.R. II the guy in the red hat is a ducking idiot
The guy in the red hat is a fucking idiot*
J.A.R. II he clearly said it was his first time smart ass
The pontiac gto is so underrated man😩😩
LS ftw
If ya'll knew the gto from NFS MW WE COULD BE FRIENDS.
Would love to see TK, getting into some of this , this is Street blood fun.🤟
How is the hot making less then factory specs with intake and full exhaust 🤔
The audio in this video is really good for no reason at all
Awesome 👏
They look nervous inside the Camry.
Is all the power 😎😂
"Camrys are fun...!" -The Host. You, sir, have a very low threshold for fun.
Inherent GTO/HOLDEN wheel hop...
Still working the problem out lol next is antihop axels
@@Reapers1k I installed 1,000 horsepower axles, carbon fiber drive shaft, billet differential mount, solid toe rods and still had some wheel hop until I removed the potenza RE71R tires and replace them with Eagle F1 supercar 3, No more wheel hop! My car makes enough horsepower to spin the tires and third gear at over 70 mph. Think a lot of wheelhop has to do with the type of tire that is used on these GTOs. I also tried a set of general GMAX tires which is an all-season tire, and I did not get wheel hop out of them even though they spun in every gear
@@BIGTONY2132001 yeah you're it has lots to do with tires . I had Michelin Y rated all seasons & got wheel hop few times ... But mine also sun going thru each gear up to 60-70mph lots of times .
I used to race my Colorado at the drags in Temple, TX. You don't need to have a fast vehicle to have fun on a test-and-tune night; it really is all about reaction time. My little 4 cyl 5 speed manual truck was routinely the fastest truck there. Also, if you have solid axles, a set of Caltracks will do wonders to prevent wheel hop, but only get them if you live outside of the rust belt. They do not hold up to road salt!
A high 12 vs high 13? Come on man, we already know. Im pulling on challengers in a 4 banger. 😂
Wow, amazing, life changing: the more expensive tires performed way better! I mean look at the results, it was clearly all tire that separated them.
Dude in the scat couldn’t burn out correctly in his car but did it in the Camry 🤣
Lucky enough to have had both. A 2005 manual GTO with headers & tune, and a stock 2016 Scat Pack 6M. Loved them both for different reasons, but both are awesome cars. My stock Scat Pack was a little quicker in the 1/4 mile, but both cars are respectably quick.
Only if GTO Was Stock👀
Miss my 2004 GTO, was able to get a best of 13.6 1/4 mile in the Automatic ..
04 gto quad exhaust 6.0 that I must say I enjoy.
Man you can see for the money run both guys are breathing heavy and pumped.. Thats what its all about.
I owned a 2006 GTO and it was a beautiful, powerful, and fast car. I miss it at stop lights and when I want to pass someone. It'd be going 100mph and blasting past several cars passing them before I knew it.
That’s awesome
I own a 2006 GTO in quicksilver just like this one. I lol when Mustangs, Camaros and Dodge bros think they are tough. It's hilarious. The only car beating me is a Tesla golf cart.
I'm still love RHD GTO..
Challenger dude using the paddles lol
So we just ignoring the srt spanked the gto both practice runs and completely fumbled the last run?
"practice" is the key word
It’s called sand bagging man
GTO are known for breaking axles and rear ends at the track while launching... lol
@@GTO_Mike lmao never heard of that
@@willfleischauer yeah alright lmao
They didn't do bad for never being there before. That GTO might have been better off on a regular radial, didn't look like it made that much power.
Makes decent power especially if he’s all bolt on. But agree i think it was too much tire.
i can hear them dodge fan boys saying noooo.. LMAO!
#teamgto
Any given day stock for stock that 392 should beat that 6.0. I dont even toy with those guys in town in mine..
Congrats your new model vehicle is more powerful than a 15 year old phased out car with an antiquated phased out engine
@@thefunnydude6668 hes saying his gto can't match the challenger not the other way around....
It has 10 years of advancement on it and almost half a liter of displacement advantage. The gto can hold its own considering. Couple light mods and they could easily take down a 485 horse challenger there is a pretty big weight difference like 500 lbs.
@@thefunnydude6668 reread that buddy
@@quaidepiper8073 definitely read like you had a new model challenger
The tremec manual is superb. But an upgraded modern automatic would make a GM LS1 or LT1 world class. The torque on the highway and reliability are best in class. The transmission really makes the C8 incredible: Its like twice as quick with the same power. 2.7 seconds versus 5.3 seconds with around 400 horsepower.
Real convenient that you had two first time racers both show up with Nitto drag tires.
Grandad has a red 06 gto
Doesn't matter which car wins, you will always look better behind the wheel of an American car. Besides, how many opportunities are there to actually race without consequences.
The GTO (Holden Monaro) is a re-badged Australian import.
@@Holmesson The 04-06 GTOs have American mechanical parts ,though assembled in Australia
Way to draw people in with muscle cars just to lose them by racing camrys
Dont Mess With A GOAT 🐐
You mean the rebadged Holden Monaro from Australia mate.
@@CJColvin the GTO has a better body kit, interior, gas tank location, wheels plus everyone forgets the 1960s GTO was a race package for the Pontiac LeMans
@@JUNKYARDGTO Well it was only a package for the Lemans in 64 and 65 but then in 66 it became its own model, it only becomes a package for the Lemans again in 72 and remains a package till its demise in 74.
What about manual challenger 392 vs manual Plymouth GTO?
Gto my baby sense a lil one 🖤😤🔥
Gto from Australia 🤙🏻
Yep you got the Rebadged Holden Monaro from Australia mate.
Wait isn't the SRT supercharger,and the GTO stock? I own a 05 GTO, quick silver,red interior. All stock. Just intake, tips, and ligenfelter fuel pump.
before my 1st time at the track i practice on a back streets on how to launch a car for a week, so i do not look stupid when i get there. This two gentlemen come there and that dodge owners looks as stupid as it gets. GTO needs a different rear set up it rubs on a arch.
I legit own both of these cars. 2004 GTO and a 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT 392. Love them both!
8:56
Its hard to do anything with these new automatics specially the 10 speeds the gears are just to close
1988 Chevy Camaro Sport Coupe & I Would Like To Do It & Not Fast But Fast & Still Has Bald Eagles
1:24 “PONITIAC” GTO. Dude, wtf
I knew that GTO was going to kick that challenger’s ass. I can tell that was a 2005 GTO. I don’t know what year the 392 hemi Challenger is. I’m pretty sure my 2006 GTO has more power than that 05 based on the modifications he spoke about. Here in town I had the same scenario where a challenger 392 raised me and to my surprise I beat The living snot out of that challenger. Considering that I haven’t even tuned my car I honestly thought the Challenger was going to beat me and that is how I came to my conclusion. Not only that he did a very good job driving the GTO.
Import Domestic Idk if it was in slo mo but it looked like the dodge was just letting the gto win
Definitely not in a roll
Cmon man that gto wasn’t remotely faster than the challenger its modded with a drag radials and couldn’t break out of 9 sec in the 1/8....meanwhile the guy in the challenger best time was 8.1 and his car was stock
@@johnnykilroy9399 it's not about the car but the driver jhonny boy.
Cause it's a GOAT for a reason fuck Chrysler
At least use a control car that the drivers need to figure out.
As an '04 GTO owner myself, that Challenger walked him in both practice runs; then for whatever reason, didn't even bother to try in the official race with a near 17 second 1/4 mile time. Seems legit. ;)
I have a 2002 gtp
Challenger gets smoked by GTO. Then time wasted on a couple of ricers.
What rice?
the Cat who won the race shoeda won something a coupon at McDonalds a gas card a t -shirt with some trophy girl presenting to him, just saying
My uncle race a challenger rt
Pontiac vs Dodge
I got gto before watching
Almost half The time 💀
I want to be a part of this I drive a 2006 Pontiac GTO A4 mostly stock and I think I can outrun them
alfonso valle SAME! just put a car on a 392 charger the other day all the way to 160mph and I’m stock(mines red too lol)
Damn i miss my goat
alfonso valle let me work on your gto. I have a 2006 GTO, LSA swapped. Made 700.
@@buddyrebel_Garcia I'm good I'm not looking for power more for handling autocross or canyons driving which it's tune for that if i need more power I'll just throw a mild cam and some trick heads and call it a day
I love that Dodge Challenger!
Same here, at least looks better and has the retro look of a traditional muscle car unlike the 04-06 GTO (aka the rebadged Holden Monaro from Australia mate).
The GTO looks like a bmw
That's because it's a rebadged Holden Monaro from Australia mate.
@@CJColvinso? what does that have to do with looking like a BMW?
More money then skills. Why do you have drag radials if your on the streets 24/7
Mmm challenger
WTF kind of video was this, the challenger absolutely caped that GTO cheeks in 2 out of 3 race's, but in the "official run" the challenger driver fucked up on the take off causing him to have a shity run time, and now ever GM fan boy is coming out of the woods saying how God tire a fucking 2006 GTO is
Forza I’m sure😂😂
He won, nothing?
It was still fun. I believe I'm in the second episode. We did get shirts hats etc 😁
why was he going so slow
get a real driver in the gto and see who wins
Australian car versus American car
Well, if we're going to be pedants about it, Australian car versus Canadian car.
@@entropy156 Atleast the Canadian Muscle Cars 🇨🇦 looks a million times better than the Australian Muscle Cars 🇦🇺 Eh.
@@CJColvin well, as a current owner of a GTO and former owner of one of Brampton's Finest, I can't argue there.
This was 1/8 mile track slow 9 second.....that challenger is capable of low 8s to 7.5 seconds stock from the factory. My best in my charger is a 7.8. Idk why people are in the comments are talking about this GTO is “fast” the car isn’t stock and can’t break out of 9 sec 1/8 with a drag radial lol
Johnny Kilroy I wouldn’t think the GTO could break into the 8s no problem. My prelude with a shitty 2.2 60ft did 9.0 at 78mph bogging hard.
Johnny Kilroy they suffer at the track for numerous reasons, but for the mods it has it may as well be stock. It probably only has 40ish HP more than stock
@@TheBb6prelude its likely the da people never consider this it can make a huge difference. Da sucks ass around here other day it was over 4000 during winter....yea...2000 ft elevation.
i dont get it
I'm miss my Goat it was murdered by a careless driver 😪😢😠
375 hp goat? Talking rwhp?
yup sounds about right for an intake/exhaust ls2
Nitto Nt555 G2s are hot garbage. If you make any horsepower stay away! I have these on my mustang GT and I couldn’t hook for shit. I almost crashed because they didn’t give me traction. Unless you’re going to be doing a burnout before you leave your house or you don’t do straight line spirited driving, these tires are for you
They have the nt555r2 on the rear in this video the newest drag radials the g2 were on the front. The drag radials hook pretty good
Holla
Wack!
Yes you are wack ...
What is amazing to me are the numbers that bone stock V-6’s make nowadays. I bought my son a 2015 Camaro....little did I know, that little beast packs a near 325 hp punch with NO MODS! Then, doing a little research....add long tube headers, SS Camaro exhaust, throttle body, relocating air temperature sensor, and a stupid East bolt on turbo kit and a good tune job....with still a little boost left over (if needed) can make 610 hp! Man, that car runs like what a well built 350 ran in the late 60’s to early 70’s was capable of...
Needless to say, I’m gonna get my son something a little less intimidating....
The straight shift driver (well, automatic, as well) need a bit more practice changing gears...once they get that down, they will be surprised just how quick their cars can be!
I had a little 86 model S-10 with a .030 350, 041 heads, 292 Comp camshaft, Performer RPM intake, 780 Vacuum Secondary Holly carb, 1:7 roller rockers, 410 gears w a Richmond traction unit (the one used by rock crawlers..so simple to swap the traction unit) and 100 octane low lead av fuel...the little S-10 was running 7.90’s in 1/8 mile....the good thing was it was a daily driver. I put a quick swap secondaries spring set up on it to keep it a bit more tame on the street, since it was a daily driver.
The little primer black beat up S-10 really loved having scrambled eggs and Mustangs for breakfast!
This gto has 375 WHEEL hp...that is a long ways from 325 CRANK prob 100 hp difference between them lol. No new v6 without turbos is pushing that kinda power.
This is basically a Canadian Muscle Car 🇨🇦 vs an Australian Muscle Car 🇦🇺, the only American Muscle Car 🇺🇸 left is the 5.0 Mustang.
