Why a Grandprix he asked?

A gearheadfriend of mine asked why I bother with that fwd pos,I thought well a few reasons with the mods I've done it run a flat 12 sec 1/4 and will dip into the 11's with a 75 shot of nitrous ,it's different I like the looks and I love spanking guys with brand new 30k muscle cars.Chico(pops)

Wait wait wait....what was his reaction!?
Priceless I hope, or a challenge, his car vs. Chico's!!!

lol sound like my boss. He always talk crap about stupid fwd grand prix that don't belong on the road. He is rwd mustang lover.

Sounds like everyone who asks what I drive.

Actually he has a new model Mustang GT with a few mods (basically a mid 13 sec car) and no with all his talk he did'nt want to race!!!!

Heard it over and over and over again.

I've heard it all before as well, unfortunately mine can't keep up with many others:( lol. I need money for a supercharger or turbo setup bad...

People lol at GP's all day.

My MNCLUGP forum is so bad, Everyone sold theirs and bought RWD V8's, That why I left that club.

I don't go there because a lot of people there have known each other all their lives and talk about personal things and leave you out. As far as having some cool cars there, they do, but a majority of the time its the same ppl and nothing new at CLUBMNgp..

Man, I totally agree now. Its a lot of gossip other there.

I'm actually a little surprised more people don't use fwd for drag cars cuz most of your weight is sitting on top of your drive wheels equalling better traction off the line. Different story later on though lol

Actually the weight shift on FWD is it's achilles heel. Look at ZZPs TT and you'll see wheelie bars. They aren't there to keep it from flipping but to keep the front wheels planted on the ground on the launch.

As for me. What other full size sedan was available with the performance of the GTP for the cheap price? I mean come on. A full size sedan that runs mid to high 14s out of the dealership.

Oh really? I didn't think the weight would shift that much right off the line

I love the whole package.
S/C stock, tank of an engine, 32 mpg, leather, sweet stereo, roomy, extremely comfortable, plenty of room for all my goods, decently easy to work on, DIC, HUD, what other car can you get all this stuff for less than $7k with 78k miles 2 years ago.

One word: inertia.

Honestly, I've been a Mustang guy my whole life. I love just about everything about them, except one thing and that's that everybody knows how fast they are and almost everyone has one. It has lost a lot of appeal to me just because everyone thinks they're fast; V6, V8, it doesn't matter. Everyone thinks they'll beat just about anything. Same thing goes for Trans Am's and Camaro's.

Now I only have a GT but my reason for loving my car is that no one thinks it's fast (not saying mine is, talking Grand Prix's in general). Anyone can buy a RWD V8 coupe and go fast, but going fast in a FWD V6 sedan, that's something completely different and that's what appeals to me the most I think.

try convincing people why ur moddin up an SE shit never stops comin my way and im the same way as u is so different and im a total sleeper i love the looks i get

Personally I'm tired of 350/350 builds. It seems every one has one. When I had my 63 Nova I found a guy that had a 64 Nova straight six 230 N/A that was running high 11s in the 1/4. Now that was a build.

Don't you have to be fast to be a sleeper?

That's great Chico.... There's a guy in one of my parts houses here that has an '05 or something Mustang. He's always bragging about traction control kicking on, or some kid tried to race him.... What ever. After about a year of trying to get him to the track I finally gave up talking cars with him until one day he say's "Some kid tried racing me yesterday" I stopped him before he could continue and said "You know what? The FAST cars are at the track" He hasn't tried telling me any stories since....

Gotta member here in Portland with a Regal, very stock looking and very quiet. He had it in the low 12's last season. The laughing from the young crowd at PIR while he staged soon turned to priceless reactions when the light turned green.
Dave's reaction was priceless when he would take out a Corvette after the driver sneered at the idea of him wanting to race.
Good times I tell you..... Good times.

Oh snap hahahahaha

I get a few jokes about only having a V6 in the Pontiac club over here, but at the end of the day they only use their V8 T/A's of a weekend or when they can afford fuel. I'm unemployed with a back injury, and my GP is comfortable and a daily driver. It's also plenty fast for all the speed cameras over here! Not been caught out yet though!!!!

I never get people talking crap. When they c or hear bout the sc they say wow!
