2003 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
So an acquaintance of mine has on 03 ish GTP. His mods are 3.4 pulley, meth, tune, intake, and maybe header. Guy comes into our car crew facebook page and starts saying that he will run another person in the group who has a 2012 manual camaro ss that is cammed, full exhaust, intake, and tuned for $100. Knowing his mods I tell the GTP not to waste his time or money running because it wouldn't even be close. He gets all kinds of butt hurt and starts saying that he would probably out run me and the camaro with his GTP. He said he definitely wouldn't have a problem outrunning my 08 cobalt ss that is tuned, intercooler kit, intake, catless dp, and full exhaust. Pretty much told him that he was crazy and that I looked forward to running him sometime.
TL;DR; GTP with 3.4 pulley, meth, tune, intake, header thinks he can beat 08 cobalt ss with tune, full exhaust, intake and intercooler kit and a 12 manual camaro ss with cam, intake, exhaust, and tune.

The Camaro might hurt his feelings, but don't underestimate those GTP's. They are pretty damn easy to get into the 12's. I'm not saying he'll beat you, I'm saying don't get overconfident.

Gtps are good dig cars they hook up surprisingly well for being fwd. However they are horrid roll racing cars (2.9 something final drive). Without method he's making 235-240 so with meth probably a little bit more. I'm not a gtp expert but I have done a little research on them. They can be quick but if your roll racing have no fear. Lol my .02

I plan on it the next time that I see him.
Yeah weight is correct, I could see him getting me from a dig because it is auto, but he is notorious for only doing 40 rolls which is a great place for me.
Yeah I definitely give the cars respect, but judging from his mods I'm considering no more than 280 at the crank (educated guess from zzp's website) and with weighing so much more and wanting to do 40 rolls all the time then I don't see a problem for me.

Prix gxps are extremely disappointing for a v8. 260ish to the wheels 300 crank. My best friend is a big 3800 guy and there's a few dudes who make more than 240whp off those mods minus the meth. Stock 240 crank but 200ish to the wheels. Considering what v6s do nowadays the 3800 needs a lot of work make the power the newer ones come with stock.

This, I love GXPs they are really cool. Also, I actually thought for a few minutes as to which forum to post this in, but I came to the conclusion that no matter which one I choose someone is going to come in with the "Wrong section dude hahaha" comment...

not sure where you got that figure lol buddys 98 GTP 4 door sedan put down close to 400ft lbs of torque and over 300hp with a intake, 3.4 pulley, header, exhaust and intercooler, and of course a tune for all that, goes without saying. Car ran an easy 13.1 in the 1/4. But his 4t65e was also built by precision transmission. Car could outshift anything on the street, was recording .07 shift times in DHP. lol
