Girlfriends and Racing... - 3/10/2006 12:50:20 PM    sir_nasty Posts: 6303 Joined: 2/23/2006 Status: offline Okay so yesterday I was coming back and ended up next to a GrandPrix V6 at stop light... My GF wasn't impressed when I launched off the line... Kinda chewed me out and said "you are such a guy..." I wasn't impressed after the launch when the Grand Prix Trounced me... The worst part is I think he was running an Automatic and I couldn't keep up for more than like half a block before he ripped me apart... I need more power... well I need money but hey.... I just thought I'd let everyone hear about my failure *L* Post #: 1

I'm going for naturally aspirated.... I figure if I can get up around 200 hp I should have something that people need to respect.... but getting there is going to be difficult... I don't like to lose... (in reply to sam@missionspeed) Post #: 5

Every grand prix I've seen has been auto, even the GTP's. You'd think they'd put some sticks in those cars... oh yeah, I forgot, they're made by GM. (in reply to sir_nasty) Post #: 6

I only know someone with a regular one and the car isn't very fast (even though it is v6). I saw someone who tried to fix one up get wasted by a trans am. I don't think I'll be messing with trans am's untill I build my motor for 15 - 20 psi. I want to do it, it's just going to be a while... (in reply to marbro) Post #: 10

RE: Girlfriends and Racing... - 3/11/2006 5:10:28 PM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline a few general specs for a stock gtp, just under 3600lb 260hp at 5200rpm 5800redline 280ft/lb at 3800rpm (superchargers are great for torque) 3.8l v6 12 valve (wtf?) Then a claimed 0 - 60 of 6.6sec and a 1/4 of 15sec @ 93 hp i dont know how 280ft/lbs of torque only gets you 6.6seconds but i dont know.... (in reply to mbo1985) Post #: 11

RE: Girlfriends and Racing... - 3/11/2006 7:44:40 PM    lightshow Posts: 1775 Joined: 1/6/2006 Status: offline i bet with 450cc and 10 psi and a LSD, if he couldnt beat an ss camaro he sure as hell give it a run for its money. when people ask me ," how do i beat a z28 or a corvette" mbo's setup is how you get there.
