yep..friend asked if i wanted to go didnt really wanna do it but we agreed from a 10mph roll

i got stage 2 + and intake

he has a 3.0 pulley and an intake

was even till i shifted to second then he pulled a car and it stayed that way...

loss for the ss/sc

anthonyS88

damn. maybe next time you'll beat him

arng22

maybe with all the new stuff i get next week but damn his car was strong as hell.

syP

umm.. how did he only have a 3.0 pulley and intake?



they have 3.8" pullies stock...



Thats like throwing a 2.5" pulley on a BONE STOCK cobalt.



he CLEARLY has more work done to that car, because with that much knock retard that he is getting, he is slower than a STOCK grand prix GTP

GTP's have massive torque. LOVE those cars and only wish they were RWD

trent_ky

i ran one from a stoplight the other day it was no match for the ss...

sYP know you have/had a gtp and i know you have done a lot of work to them but i have worked and been friends with this kid for a while now and i know for a fact all it is a 3.0 pulley and an intake...how the car is running is beyond me

and no knock what so ever...

it was not a dig and he only started to pull when i shifted to 2nd so its...

A-his mods made that car a monster

or

B- my driver mod still is at lvl 1

ya my brother in law has a gtp running 18 pounds of boost. with many many many mods. i couldnt touch him in the balt. hell not many cars in general could touch him in that

SuperchargedSS

Something isnt right here.... I ran one a while ago and was a 1/2 car ahead when we shut down. He had an exhaust and "zzp" stickers so I figured he might have been pullied to. We ran from a dig and got a good launch out of the hole... he seemed to be a bit sluggish for that amount of tq. I thought I would be gettin raped froma dig but I came out on top.

I spun like a sob in 2nd too, he was on it good and made up the distance. I only had an intake at the time. If I had stg 2 at that time, I would have destroyed him. At the top of third , approx 100mph I had a half car and was starting to creep, he shut down and took off without a wave etc.

I think that GTP you lost too was done up good. I still hate how boaty they look.

syP

he doesnt have a 3.0" pulley and just an intake with no knock.. sorry, but he is lying to you.

anthonyS88

damn now i want to race me neighbors gtp but i think its stock lol

they have fast cars and not so fast cars. the level of aftermarket for them is huge and until they put huge cams on them they look and sound stock. check out the videos of them on zzp they can move

syP

4 of them are in the 9s.

1 is RWD turbo

1 is FWD TT

1 is FWD T

1 is FWD T and S/C

syp i am telling you man, i was with him when he bought the 3.0 i was there with the install and everything...it runs fine..

unless it blows up at the track friday...

Onyxd04Redline

Is he running E85 in it? A 3.0" will produce A LOT of KR without Headers/Cam

04YellowGT

I would belive it, a kid I know has a Regal GS and he had like a 3.0 and intake on his and he might have had exhaust to but Im not sure and he drove it with nothing else. I will tell you he ended up blowing the motor but he still drove it for that long and beat the **** out of that car.

syP

i can believe he ran it till it blew up shortly after...

but it is a proven fact that a car with TOO small of a pulley with NO supporting mods, will run slower than itself in STOCK form.

BCobaltSS

What year GTP?

KlugSRT-4

So how is he just have a pulley and a intake but can read knock...... either he has a tuner of somesort or a scangauge? Their is no way in hell that he is running that. A buddy of mine is running, zzp computer, downpipe, jmb intake, and a stock cobalt pulley and i would almost guess he might be running some knock on hotter days.

arng22

*UPDATE*

well my buddy with the GTP went on his lunch break today at 3pm...and never came back to work

i get a call 10 min ago...saying his motor seized on rt 206!

syp's point proven...didnt even get to the track

something sounds very very wrong here...

ok just like everyone thought... my cousin has a stock GTP comp G... and if you drop .8 inches on any SC without any tune... you're going to **** something up... that sucks for him... but i mean ... seriously... hahn has a 2.4 thats runnin 400 WHP and it's on stock internals... but it's for a matter of how long not that it's doing it... whenever you get a major mod... you need a tune

SLoW SHO

So the motor siezed eh? He prolly shoulda changed his oil. Sounds like that car had a lot more problems than just too small of a pulley.

arng22

well i put it into simple terms he said somthing with the only running 5 cylinders and a spark plug melting....
