agreed. if it did run 9's in the 1/4, it probably wasn't much of a DD anymore and just a shell of a car.

oh ya ive heard bad stuff about that place. but yea ive seen those 3800s run 10 and a few run 9s. it took ALOT of money and fabrication in the small stuff to get them there. but it can be done. heck for a family car run the turbo kit and get it to 11s and leave it looking stock kinda sneaky till the BOV

I was going to buy a GXP first of the year I took it for a spin I was out on the highway, punched it at about 70 mph and almost hit the car right next to me torque is not good for torque steer so I decided not to buy it!

That will happen after you turbo the V6 also. But it will have the weaker transmission and cv axle components.

Well just brought the red Grand Prix home from Orlando tonight it has full leather interrior charcoal with heated seats and what ever else you can think it all ready has good power and averaged 29 mpg all the way home about 80 mph tomorrow I will remove pin stripes and see if any thing needs to be fixed my wife loves it and I think I might steel it every ounce and a while, will give me some time to get my truck squared away!
