A 3.5 is the biggest (besides stock which is 3.8). Yes the 3.4 is good for about 25 hp and yes it is definitely noticable, especially with complimenting mods- intake, exhaust, and a chip. I'm estimated at about 285 hp (judging from people with the same mods that have dynoed thier car) </P>

Were you stock? I'm not familiar with that engine, is it similar in output to a 308?</P>

No GP's are all auto. I've never ran the 1/4 but am guessing high 13's.</P><edited><editID>GTP99whine</editID><editDate>37923.7873032407</editDate></edited>

Well, I'm not talking about coming across some moms and dads, lol. </P>


Does this look like a family car? It's my car.<IMG src=smileys/smiley14.gif border="0"></P>

With a proper launch they run high 14's stock. I've seen it in person.

Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but my truthful opinion:...yea it does. It's still a nice ride regardless.

Redline, I'll find some sound clips for you.</P>


Fang: Really? I think a Regal or a Maxima or an Accordlooks like a family car. Oh well, thanks for the compliment. I've tried making it look more sporty by adding the 3 1/2" exhaust tips and the SLP spoiler. </P>
