Grand Prix

Anyone know offhand what a 1997-2003 Grand Prix GT with a 3800 series runs off hand?

I have some websites telling me high 15's and others saying high 16's

I'm just curious.

Forgot to mention, i'm looking for a completely stock time

cause we did SO MUCH STUPID **** in it. we used to drive backwards, about 5-10 mph, throw it in drive and lay patches! haha such good times, i miss those days. this was way back in high school (haha only 2 1/2 years ago but it feels like a different life). That thing has been on a median before too haha. and it had run from the cops. just, fun stupid times to remember in that thing.

i see 8 or 20 a day. i've stomped the few that have tried to run with me so i'm pretty sure they lag worse than 56k.

My moms got a 2000 GT. My friends prelude runs low 16s and my moms grand prix pulls pretty hard on it lol. Id guess it would run a mid 15 tho, its not as slow as you guys make it sound.

I've raced my friend's 2003 GT and he's never beaten me before. I was only ahead by 1/2 to 1 car length, but still a win.

From Car and Driver for reference:

http://www.caranddriver.com/shortroa...-prix-gt2.html

Zero to 60 mph: 8.1 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 24.7 sec
Standing 1/4-mile: 16.2 sec @ 85 mph

Regal GS anyone? Hmm?

What a monster with just a pully swap, colder plugs, and an intake.
