MSP CAI with 9" K&N
Throttle body spacer
U-bend removal(a fix for a messed up exhaust idea by Pontiac)
Front & Rear strut tower braces

All those mods are "bolt-ons". No internal mods at all.

Not even lazs2. First of all I don't have(and I think WldThing doesn't have) a fart can sticking out behind my car. Also, I don't have a 2 foot high wing that serves no purpose, and most importantly, I don't have a bunch of stickers on my car for mods that haven't been done(typical ricer dress up idea). Now, my 1965 Impala SS 409, 4-speed, "that was a car". That sucker had h.p. and torque to match.

Very nice time without any other Modifications, always knew those GTP's were damn fast!

I dont have a fart can on my car, but i do have a quite a few SPONSOR decals on my car since they do pay partially for some of the mod's on my car. I dont have a NOS decal on the car without actually having the NOS installed.. Thats just plain ricer.

I've got NOS(never used) but no sticker......I'm backwards?

WldThing,
The nice thing about the GTPs is all you have to do is put on a smaller pully and it's an instant 30-40 hp increase. There are a few guys with GTPs running in the high 11s and low 12s, but at that point, you have to put in a different quaife, run slicks, cam, rockers, etc. I haven't put the smaller pully on mine because it's still a daily driver(92k miles). As you probably know, you have to learn how to launch a front wheel drive car, but once you do, you'll be ok.

11s and 12s from a front wheel drive heavy car?

Hehehe... I guess I need to get a clue about cars too.

Drove a friends new WRX, and I was amazed. You hit that gear right and it will put you in yer seat...

Sticks to road like glue too. I might look into one in the near future here, and show the younger punks how things work.

El Camino is one damn ugly car...

someone... or a bunch of someones.... are/is paying you to run a car in the 13's wildthing? Guess I really do need to learn about cars.

Do you think my elky would look ok to you if I painted the steering wheel red and plastered a bunch of decals all over the car? Maybe if I yanked out a few plug wires I could get into the 13's but nothin I can do about both back tires smoking.

My Healey is kinda small tho (sorry rear wheel drive posi) so maybe you could give me some of those neato modern styling cues so that I could get the admiring glances from the fast and furious crowd like you do?

A discerning person might note that this would make it an admirable match for lazs...

On another note, I saw funked's WRX last year. My original impression was that it was a Dodge Neon with a lot of stickers on it.

Why would you spend $25k on a Sebring?
That's about as bad as these idiots I see with $3k worth of wheels and tires on a '80 Caprice Classic.

Maybe its just me, but if I had to chose to ride around in

This

Or

This

The classic Musclecar is going to win. Hell I bet 99% of car people would side with me on this one. I only thought Senior citizens bought sebrings...

Hey Staga, lazs2 is the one that was calling WldThing's Sebring and my Grand Prix ricers. That "spouting" initially told me he didn't know much about cars. Just because he has an Austin Healey and an El Camino, doesn't mean he knows a lot. I've only owned one foreign car in my life and that was a 1979 Honda Civic. Here's a list of "domestic" cars I've owned over the years.

64 Impala SS
65 GTO
64 Olds Cutlass
62 Bel Air
79 Ford Econoline
66 Chevy van
47 Plymouth
54 Ford
65 Impala SS
64 Nova
69 Riviera
80 Jeep CJ5
61 Chevy 3/4 ton
88 Grand Prix
54 Bel Air
94 Jeep Cherokee
00 Grand Prix GTP

My car doesn't have any stickers, no fancy wheels and no ricer crap on it. My mods cost about $400 all together, and they're functional, not window dressing.

"Buy domestic"!!!

Yeah but how many Neons have "vote from the rooftops" stickers?

Steve · « **Reply #89 on:** March 17, 2004, 01:56:46 PM »

I always liked El Camino's... wife "put her foot down", said I'd have to sell the 'vette.. "one moneypit on wheels is enough".
spent a ton of money(for me) on the vette... no Camino for me.

Lazs.. take me for a spin sometime? I promise to cry with my head hanging out the window.

Bagging on another mans car, unless it a ricer, seems..... over the line. You guys may want to meet in the desert and settle this.. only one walks out. Or, you could just stop the madness!
