Default Pontiac GTP...whatthahell!

I was luggin' the car in 2nd and getting ready to get onto the entrance ramp for the frwy and a GTP was in the entrance lane. I floored it (WOT)in 2nd and got in front of him, went into 3rd (still WOT) and looked in my rearview mirror and he was right on my ***!
By the top of 3rd and into 4th he either stopped racing or his car ran out of breath because I left him for dust.

Not bad for a Pontiac SC V6. I guess he could have been chipped or had an underdrive pulley on it or something? Hell, he might have just been stock...either way, too bad I was luggin' it around in the beginning!

Default Hahaha.....be careful. There are a few fast GTPs running around Houston.

I met one guy here at Ennis from Houston that was running 13.3s...this was last year this time....He's know in the 12s I believe. Nothing like Forced Induction from the factory.

Default He should get together with this Contour SVT that frequents my neck of the woods

hard as hell to shake that little bugger off... He is quite modded, and keeps the appearance stock. Impressive little thing!

Default Yeah but that's cool cuz you don't expect it! :)

These downpipes take just a smidge of the low end away so it feels a little slower on the bottom but midrange and topend...OMG!
