Get a Jlt with a Bamachips.com Race tune for the highest octane available where you live.Get someMTET streets.Practice on you 60ft times and your reaction times.Lca`s and upper control arm. These chevy cars are cheap to mod and you got watch out.

GTo's may be fast but once again I rather look good then just be fast who wants a fast looking grand am
+1 hahaha that's exactly what they are... I think GM took the blueprints from a lost episode of the Grand Am/Prix designers or something...

I'm by no means an engine buff, but I can see from specs, that Ford always seems to put out a smaller engine with better gas mileage and our torque is usually higher than horsepower....on the other hand look at the GM motors...yea they might put out more HP (larger engine=worse mpg), but take a look at the torque ratings...they hardly ever match or exceed the HP....thats just my observation. Somone correct me if I'm wrong.

^ that's how gm has been forever...have big motors with high hp ratings, but no torque, so a 383 mopar would eat-up a427, 454 or whateverchevy easy -i beta 429 torino, mustang, cyclone, etc. wouldcause the same damage(ford and mopar cleaned house before they went to all cheby engines in nascar)......my g-pa's theory behind their horrible mpg is that they use such a short stroke, there's not enough time to even use up all the gas that goes in the cylinder - dunno if that's a reality, but sounds logical lol

the newest camaros are alright looking, though, but kinda BIG looking...and TAs are WAY overdone imo
