i believe it. they are slow. the 2.4 ss is supposed to run very low 15s stock. i'll bet an n/a ss would crush it from a roll

Master Shake

green. takes one headlight out to route the air intake there. really nice guy with long hair. i think he is running slicks now too.

Close.. you need 38lb injectors or higher to run anything UNDER a 3.0" pulley... on a 97-03 car..


for the 04+, anthing UNDER a 3.2" you need bigger injectors..



Full size intercoolers are as low as 800 now.. http://www.wbodystore.com/grandprix/...kit-p-100.html


Also with my car.. no1 knew wtf was wrong with it.. ZZP, intense.. no one... so you say their experience is a joke? I cant control how my car acts if i dont know whats going on with it. It could have been the SHITENSE stage 2 cam, or something could have been wired wrong. I gave up on it because it wasnt going fast enough for the mods at the time. I was fighing KR for a full 2.5 years.. it was time to move on.

Well said ! You have nothing to prove . Obviously your car had something major wrong with it . Ive been with you on clubGP for a long time , you of all people have nothing to prove when it comes down to GTP's .

To all the people that dont believe that a GTP cannot hit high 12's with the mods SYP listed just havent seen nothin . The one BIG thing about doing that is the TUNING and getting your Knock down. KR is the BIG BIG issue with GTP's .

Actually ....They have a few intercoolers out for the GTP . I purchased the SS intercooler for 500 dollars and that intercooler could definetly get you into the High 12's with the mods SYP listed . People have actually gone pretty low into the 12's with that intercooler but obviously with more mods done .

my last car was a regal gs, basically the same car as a gtp. I typically ran .3 faster than other comparable gtp's at the track. When the ss cobalt first came out they were running the exact same time as me (15.6 at 5,800 feet) I had a cold air on it.

so if you can drive your car, you should be able to hang with him. he has a very strong first gear, followed by a very weak 2nd gear. your best bet would be to race him from 40+. off the line you have a shot if you can hook up, but its really not much to your advantage. just do not race him from a 30-35mph roll, that will put him at the top of first, right in his power band in his strongest gear. you could expect to lose 1/2 to 1 car legnth then and you might or might not be able to make that up.

it would be a good race.

To answer your question , Since he only has an intake , if you run him from a dig he should take you off the line but not by too much and you should probly just walk right by him with no problem (Dont mess up off the line) . If you run him from a roll..............Lets just say ....he has nooooo chance with just an intake . He might as well just forget about it if you go from a roll .

If he had possibly ....lets say a 3.4 pulley , Tune , intake and exhaust work then you would be toast from a dead stop . From a roll .....it would be a good run .

actually.. i believe the non intercooled record is help by our very own (in illinois) Steve Miller aka BumpinGTP..


here is the run. (he basically had BIG heads.. and a BIG cam) no intercooler.. very impressive

i know of plenty of people who have hit 12s with ease with no intercooler.


but anyways, to answer your question, the cobalt should beat it everytime stock vs stock

which car is yours that ran 14.1 the 3800 series or colbalt ss? I got 3 3800 supercharged cars and was thinking about buying a colbalt ss was wondering which 1 is better.
