Re: check this car out

wow.. that looks like a pretty sick setup. I like the 438 lb feet of torque it makes....

Re: check this car out

i was like when i saw that thing launch. fastest launch i ever saw a grandprix do. yeah torque is crazy... now what amazes me is no internal motor work has been done or trannywork. now with the LT1-LS1 how come with only 8psi we can wreak havac on our motor-tranny-rear end. but yet the 3.8 motor parts can outlast a 350 block? maybe they just don't tell ya that stuff while start falling apart after running it hard for awhile?

I think you either don't know how to work a computer or you just wanted us to look through this entire catalog because you are in some way affiliated with them.

that link was ridiculously easy to get

Re: check this car out

LOL, yeah but a stock Grand Prix tranny is equal to (if not worse than) a 10-bolt in a built M6 car with a nasty clutch. That motor will probably last pretty well on a good tune. GTP's are 8.5:1 compression and built for boost from the factory. As for the tranny's they suck really bad. If it is stock, that one is on very short and borrowed time. He is doing burnouts and launching on slicks, that isn't going to fly for very long unless the tranny is built for more power.

Cool video though

Wish mine ran like that, heck I wish my Z ran like that
