So I was just out for a cruise last night, got under the bridge on the main street here and stopped at a light. This cat in an 01 (from the looks of it) grand am gt pulls up beside me, looks over at me and nods.. So I was pretty bored and felt I might as well oblige him, the light ahead was green and seeing as it was about 11:30 at night and ther were no cars ahead of us... so the light went green and I launch at about 2.5 k slow slip, he jumps ahead of me about half a car and I start pulling on him hard, I shift to second and pull about a car on him than hit it into 3rd and he shuts down, so anywho to add insult lol he drives by me, flips me off than takes a right turn and speeds off...
soo not a great war story but fun had by me lol!

 

Good kill...think it was a standard or no?

 

good kill that car had no chance against urs

edit: I did not read the 2.4 part lol sorry

 

i remeber when i thought the Grand AM gt's were quick.. years ago. LOL My sister has an 04' GT and it's slow as ****. Nice kill, being stock and all:-)

 

Actually there rarther close stock for stock.

 

he's stock, didn't seem TOO close

 

I guess about ~2 tenths a diff stock isn't close?

 

Boy, O boy, haven't you ever seen The Fast and The Furious?

 

Really depends if the 2.4 is manual or auto

If manual, the GAGT has NO chance in hell, we are talking over a 1/2 a second of difference.

 

Explain how the 2.4 is that much faster...

Grand Am
175bhp
205ft-lbs
3066lbs

2.4 Cobalt
171bhp
163 ft-lbs
2870lbs

 

because grand ams only come in autos are gutless, i have one that races at our track weekly. He goes 15.4 with slicks. hes got full exhuast, intake, tune and other crap.

i did 15.6 with a slipping clutch and bone stock

 

Have you driven both?

The automatic takes 8 years and a day to shift.

My old SS>GAGT, by personal experience and run ins with them.

 

i have driven them, they suck, they got torque, but that doesnt make them fast lol

my old beretta has 140hp and 185 ft-fbs, it felt fast but it wasnt

 

lol i had a 98 grand at gt with a 3.1 in it ,and my old lumina 3.1 was faster! they are turds from my experience but yah never know there might be a fast one out there!

 

gotta look at weight too, that car is alot heavier than mine, and as well was an auto.

 

The auto kills those cars.

 

I can believe it, especially if you're a decent driver. My older Brother has had his 99 GAGT since brand new and its quick for what it is, but by no means fast. The torque in those cars are great, but the automatic sucks. Nice kill

 

Nice kill.

 

i raced a 04 grand am gt and beat it by 3 cars i have a 2.4 aswell
