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*

Sorry to hear that bud. You will get it together soon.

I'm not a big fan of nitrous just because I'm not normally a straight line type of racer... 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...

Ouch. I'll beat a grand prix for you, don't worry.

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.

marbro -> RE: Girlfriends and Racing... (3/10/2006 10:30:19 PM)

yeah, even though they are auto's GTP's can be pretty evil. But a turbo and a cam will easily match it if not beat it

dude mbos car would waste a gtp ugly style

marbro -> RE: Girlfriends and Racing... (3/11/2006 12:50:37 AM)

at 7psi im not so sure but the engine as it is shouldnt be running at 15psi 15psi =  [sm=smiley35.gif]  slap from hell

mbo1985 -> RE: Girlfriends and Racing... (3/11/2006 4:51:44 PM)

Wish I knew someone with a GTP... 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...

marbro -> RE: Girlfriends and Racing... (3/11/2006 5:10:28 PM)

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....

lightshow -> RE: Girlfriends and Racing... (3/11/2006 7:34:28 PM)

yea mbos car should be deep into the 5's as far as 0 to 60 goes.

lightshow -> RE: Girlfriends and Racing... (3/11/2006 7:44:40 PM)

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.

Maimster -> RE: Girlfriends and Racing... (3/11/2006 9:03:14 PM)

Funny story!! Why are you racing V6's anyway. Pretty funny anyhow.

marbro -> RE: Girlfriends and Racing... (3/11/2006 9:53:30 PM)

because most v6's suck ^_- and a 4cyl with a little work is usually enough to beat one
