        I may get up there, otherwise for sure BIR! But not with the GTP, I'll be bringing the TT. Last year I burned the torque converter up, put in a 2500 stall, trans cooler, yanked the A/C, 65# injectors, a 2.9pulley, and found out that I must have burned a lot more than the TC, so there she sits in the garage. I am actually looking at unloading the GTP since I have lost my interest in it.

          I am not here to bash anyone either. And i agree on what was said earlier as far as if you give a guy a civic and a guy a GTP and give both of them $2000 then tell them to drag them, that the civic would pull ahead, mainly because there is so much more parts for honda's rather than pontiacs.. and i've seen the cars that are modded around town, and i'm not gonna lie, looks pretty nice seeing a intercooled honda pullin up behind you on the street.. i have nothing against them/you. I just want respect for what i drive/want to do to my car...thats all.

                    Seriously bubba, a modded GP vs. a track prepped supra. No contest, but I have a feeling that a lot of the hondas would get pwnd. Nick's GSR is probibly the exception. I have yet to see that car btw.

                          Agreed to an extent. I believe there are cars that are the exception to this statement. Namely the Evo, STi, BMW M3, and Z06.

                          These cars are all around contenders that will bring the pain on most vehicles by only spending a few grand, whether it's the drag strip, road course, or highway.

                          Sure, they may not be number one at everything, but I'm pretty sure 11 sec. timeslips, 1G+ cornering, and 160+mph gearing is VERY feasible for those cars in one package of mods.

                          Beats the hell out of a FWD sedan that can only go fast in a quarter mile setting, IMO.

                            Sure but can you pick up an M3, Z06, or EVO for under 10k? Even if you could would you drive it every day? If you were abusing it and broke something could you get parts easily? These are the reasons I stand by the Grand Prix all the way, and I don't even like GM cars.

                              Yes, you can get an E36 M3 for under $10k.

                              Probably gets more ass than a Grand Prix, too.

                                    Ahhhh my retinas. I don't believe that I would want an M3 that was selling for under 10k.
