GTO fail on the Dragon

Check out the first video about 25 seconds in with the illegal overtake and how bad they are crossing over in the second video. I found these on my old forum from when I had a 2004 GTO.

Amazing. And people wonder why LEO's are so strict. I hate to call names, but this guy is an idiot on several levels. First, for driving like one and secondly, for being absolutely stupid enough to post it. Wonder how'd he like coming around a blind corner and having someone staring at him in HIS lane. I'm thinking he probably wouldn't! Thank God he wasn't in a MINI!

If I was the guy on the bike and saw a line of GTO's behind me I'd have pulled off and let them pass much earlier but that's me. Passing anyone on the dragon is insane.

Now that you mention it, you're right. I didn't think it looked tight enough to be the Dragon. Does it really surprise anyone the guy didn't even know what road he was on?

Only good thing is that they kept getting behind slower traffic, otherwise they who know what sort of damage they could have caused.

How do the GTO's handle? Always thought they looked kind of cool for what they were. My best friend growing up had a old 69 GTO convertible. I still have dreams about that car.

I like the comment under the second video:
"It must be too hard to keep that POS GTO in your own lane.Rookie."

The GTO handles well for what they are with some suspension mods. I loved my GTO when I had it, beat the crap out of it spraying over 700 pounds of nitrous through it and 81,000 before it blew up.

Yeah I didn't notice when I posted it up.

He'd probably call them lousy drivers and complain about it to everyone.
