The cheatsheet I'm looking at say that a P42 is just a 1993-1995 coupe, not a GT coupe:

Sounds like a real Cobra, only thing left is to install a new spoiler

HEY! Don't pick on that spoiler... it held the back of the car down while I was doing 120 MPH downhill in switchbacks coming out of the Cascades between CA and OR... all the aerodynamics are active: brake vents, hood vent. You should have seen what the hood and roof looked like after driving thru the high plains in the rain. Cool-as-hell muddy streaks up the hood and over the roof almost like a wind tunnel. It rides like a freakin hay wagon until you hit about 95-110MPH (depends on headwind hehe). Then the wheels buck up under the car instead of the car bucking up and over the bumps.

That spoiler rawks... and it doubles as an awesome picnic table on track days.

Many are more knowledgeable than I, but I'd have a look at the heads to confirm they are not E7s swapped on by some unscrupulous butcher. Then I'd take out that chip and adjust the base timing to 12* or so. Just my suggestions.

ok heres another senerio, idiots blew the cobra engine, stuck in a GT engine and swapped the intake over

Well the guys who built this car up in CA were reputable and known to the individual from whom I purchased the car (who's a close personal friend)... that is, I really doubt this car is a fake. I'll grant you that it's suffering from some sort of malady and the HP is really low, but I'm gonna wait till I've pulled the chip and check the fuel pressure before I jump to the conclusion that I've somehow been ripped off.

I'm expecting to find the fuel pressure to be really low... I really am. It makes all sorts of sense.

So I'm gonna repeat the question I've been asking:

If I pull the Hypertech chip, will the ECM automatically revert to using the onboard mixture tables and so on?

I hope you're joking [&:] The double stack wing does not look good and most will agree. It looks okay on track cars when they're on a track, thats it. I've done 120 in my car and it was plenty stable as is... All I'm saying is if your car had different wheels and the Saleen S281 spoiler it would be a much better looking car.

The only reason I flushed it with water was because someone recommended it to me on this board....Either way, it ran like crap even before that. Thing had no *****. The GTP would have raped that thing.

ArmchairDeity

I'm confused... if you drive a Pontiac why aren't you on a Pontiac board? Or a Grand Deathtrap-Prix board?

It's a free country, so I'm not making any judgements here... but since people here don't take you seriously and you think Mustangs run like crap and you drive a car from a competing manufacturer, why are you hanging out here? Especially when you can only offer unhelpful comments to people looking for _helpful_ information.

I'm just sayin...


PS - I hate Grand Prix. Who the HELL attaches safety restraint devices to the doors? And mostly they sound like a broken lawnmower, regardless of what exhaust system people try to use to mask their true nature. It's like crapping your pants and then putting perfume on to cover the smell. My opinion... nothing more.
