i think we as a whole have a differnt ego than most racers. (you can dissagree) but muscle heads(muscle car) think differnt. like raw hp and when we put super chargers and nitrous no one can keep up. I think its great with all those mods people brag that they can keep up with a STOCK mustang. Keep on strocking my altered ego man its great. but your gtp cant and never will have the potential a v8 light weight mustang can. just plain and simple. you have to manyfactors working against you. (fwd, displacement, trany, etc.) its a cool car for what it is. you have more on you plate from the start for cheap mods but reach the top to quick and then that wall you cant go over. sorry but i think in my OPINION they suck. its not a race car and never will be.

 

Actually awwimer, your 100th post is full of so much ignorance I find it difficult to take you seriously. First of all, I never came on this board with an ego (your size) and started bragging how insanely fast my car was. I never claimed it was a "race car". I know GTP's are technicallya family car, (yetwith a good balance of luxury and *****.)</P>


"I think its great with all those mods people brag that they can keep up with a STOCK mustang."</P>


What mods? a $70 pulley and intake? LOL. That's all it takes.<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>


"but your gtp cant and never will have the potential a v8 light weight mustang can."</P>


Having a 4.6 liter V-8 obviously does have more potential than a 3.8 V-6, no argument there, it's got more displacement, and if blown, it's fast as hell. (SVT Cobra comes to mind...mmm)<IMG src=smileys/smiley14.gif border="0">Light weight you say? You thinkMustang GT'sare lightweight? Wow. </P>


"but reach the top to quick and then that wall you cant go over."</P>


All cars have limitations.....even yours! <IMG src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0">You can make any car go fast withenough money, it's just cheaper to do that on asupercharged enginethan a N/A car like your Mustang. Like I said, a few simple bolt on's and my V-6 "family car" can beata respectable V-8 stock stang. </P>


People, I have nothing against Mustangs, they are nice looking, fast cars that sound great. (I love that growl)I might have even bought one butto be honest Iliked the sleek flowing body style of the Grand Prix better and decided I wanted a bit more luxury and cheaper insurance so I can save more money for mods!<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

Just to show that it can be done (in case some of you don't believe, lol) here is a video of a turbo GTP running 10.9. Yes, you can make any car fast yadda yadda yadda, but this isquite anaccomplishment for a GP.<IMG src=smileys/smiley10.gif border="0"></P>


Enjoy.<IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0"></P>

what is wrong with that retarded *** video that i have a bunch of download boxes sitting there and the file wont open? </P>


and FYI a turbo grand prix is far from any of the things that you say makes your car so good. it may be cheaper to go fast in stock trim, but i guarantee theres easier ways to make a car go 10's period.</P>

 

I can't really make fun of 3.8's. My brother runs around in a Grand National that will suck the paint off my car anywhere anyt time. I was so pissed when he first got that car. He went out bought some rims/tires, an airbag for the passenger side rear, a "test tube" for the cat, and a chip to go 7.70's in the 1/8th. Spent a total of $1200. </P>


I spent more than that on just my heads.....</P>

 

turbo is a different ballgame. they are far better cause they dont leech to make that power.

 

Turbo is a restriction in the exhaust.
You should know that nothing is free.

 

but you know what i mean. why are you suddenly putting me on your hitlist or something, did i do anything to you? and supercharged puts more stress on the engine than turbo anyway. it has not only the stress of the hp it dynos, but the stress of pulling the charger too.

 

Ok now that that's outta the way, I honestly think a GTP is pretty cool and has alot of potential for the cheap too! But that potential is limited by being heavy, fwd, and a small displacement engine (compared to a Mustang that is). While their is no doubt it is a quick car, I dont think any GTP is gonna scare me anywhere or anytime (not to say their arent faster GTP's that can spank me, but the odds of that are very very slim).</P>


Listen, even someone with a Honda Civic can do enough work to it to smoke both of us, but I think its fair to say that you wouldnt expect a Civic to pull on you right? Well thats kinda how I feel when I look at a GTP.</P>

 

Damn, leave him alone.

You can tell he did not come here to start ****. He likes his car and has every right to. No matter what everyone posts the 3800 II is a good engine with potential. 99 is not trash talking stangs, maybe we can give him the same respect. <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">
