Default Grand Prix GTP (warning, another What If thread)

1999GT 5sp stock vs stock Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
from a roll

just wondering how this would play out?
close?

and then add in 4.10's, and partial exhaust to the GT, how much uglier would it get?

i know that the GTP's can be low to mid 13's with a few easy mods, but im jut wondering how a stock one fairs in a roll, and at higher speeds

my guess would not be very good for them. stock anyway. cuz, i think theyre pigs. i mean 'Stangs arent light by any means, but we have the hp/tq to back us up. theyre just quick with mods.

I was talking about the ones before they got redesigned in.. '04? or was it '05...

either way, the 'wide track' ones.. i was thinking stock they are in the high 14's around 94-95 mph? which means it'd be kind of close to a stock GT, especially an auto from a roll

was just wondering if anyone has any experiance with them stock

(kid from school that i went to the track with ripped of some 13.5s@105's or so the time we went to the track on some 2.3 60's

ill add this........i got a '92 GT. flowmaster exhaust, bbk cold-air, flex fan and a Pro 5.0 shifter. i took one from a light and from a 2nd gear roll last year in Va Beach. beat both that and an Audi TT at one time. i love 3 lanes of traffic. haha. the dude in the Audi was cool. the guy in the GTP however, was NOT. douchebag. but yeah. i had no problem. they were racing, they passed me. i caught the next light with 'em, and voila. let the games begin. haha. i really dont see u having any problems with one. especially if i didnt. and youre faster than me. so, yeeeaaaah. u get the picture.

oh, and as far as me having trouble with them..

im certain that I wouldnt, i was just trying to get an estimate of how close it 'might' or might not be

two days ago? i think... a kid that i knew from high school was behind me at a 4 way, i took off slowly, heard tires screech and he blew by me, i dropped it into 3rd, which was wayy too high of a gear and i started to hit the gas but it bogged. lol

just wondering what it might be like to roll race, since im sure RWD 5sp and MT's= domination of FWD
