Raced my friend's sick GTP
My buddy has a bad azz 97 GTP, with the S/C 3.8 V6. He has a home depot intake, headers, custom exhaust with true duals, different pulley for the S/C(more boost!). Also has a new transmisssion with a higher stall TC. Its the only FWD car i've been in that lays rubber up to 30.
Anyways we decide to race eachother. I spin real bad when I take off and he gets his rear bumper even with my front. I start to gain on him by 50. Now we're doin 80 and I am slowly startin to pull on him. Once I get up to a 110 I have him by about half a car length.
I will give his GTP a lot of credit. Its the only FWD car that has been able to hang with my Z!

1999 Z28 = 3439 lbs
2dr GTP - 3396 lbs
GTP is 43 lbs LIGHTER than the Z28. Stock GTPs put down around 195-200 to the wheels.

Also the GTP doesnt have true duals.. not possible.
My little ol GS is faster than stock Lt1's and it has factory manifolds

Not practical, and wouldnt work worth a damn because of the space restrictions.
Its a side mounted motor remember. Have you ever looked under there.
There is a reason why you dont see dual exhaust gtps and gs's
