that's what I thought.......I have to disagree though with less fortunate.....my 2 cents.

I know it wasn't meant to be an ill statement though...

Not too sure on the comparing Vette to Camaro (not Camero)

A bone stock 99 Z28 was run by GM Hightech to a 12.8 et. And stock for stock a in a straight line the Camaro is in my experiece is 80%+ going to win. The Vette is over rated and not as fast as many people think. A good driver in a Z28 will beat a Vette. Now a Vette with Z51 suspension, and the optional Magnisum wheels is a killer on the road course, as is 1LE or B4C Camaro. And the ZO6 is a whole nother story. As well a F-Body is much cheaper to modify than a Vette.

Well said, the facts come alive!!!!

I love my wife's 01 GA. It handles way better than my GTP, just not as fast. If someone were to throw some forced air into the motor, then watch out. On the curves, the GA would tear me apart. I could keep up but it wouldn't be pretty. On the straits though, I would rip it up. I'll bet it's right up there with a stock GP GT in the qtr or very close.

There is a Turbo kit available fot the Grand Am with the 3.4. My friend with a GA GT looked into it for a while. The cars that have that setup only have run right around 14.0. Not too impressive for an aftermarket turbo setup.

Uhh on the straits it has no chance. trust me...........

Grand Am's are ugly. Too much plastic body paneling.

I have to agree that they are the best looking cars. The new GA's did cut back on the plastic body panels....The newer ones look a whole lot better without these "ridges" on the side!

I have to agree that they ~~AREN'T~~ the best looking cars I meant......WHAT WAS I THINKIN!!!!!!!!!

trying to compare these two cars is like chalk and cheese...Pontiac makes different lines of cars for different reasons...but as the old saying goes "ya gotta pay to play"...there is no comparison plain and simple...a topline GA-GT might out perform a base GP just on power-to-weight alone but thats not an even comparison either...a GA-GT vs a GTP is a no brainer in every way...performance,luxury,comfort, you name it...if he digs the GA over the GTP then thats his choice, and its a free country...but that dont make his opinion the gospel for the rest of us...I mean hey, I got a soft spot for the Aztek (there went my credibility)...that dont mean I think that all the folk who hate it are stupid...they have the right to hate it...hell, if we all like the same thing there would only be one car...how boring would that be?!

I don't recall anyone saying that.

I meant his boss...isnt he the one with the GA and thinks its better?

Yeah if he says they are faster and he has a 3.4 with auto tranny (all new ones are) tell him you will hand his ass to him because you should. Also tell him that the 3.8 is a better motor and has more power. Also tell him the dash in the Grand am is ugly. Also tell him he cant compare his grand am to your car, it is a sub midsize class car. You on the other hand have a car that is midsize and therefore in a different class. Then if he is still being a punk tell him if you wanted to save money you would have gotten a grand am and not a grand prix. And if the guy has a four cylinder tell him to eat you. That is the most mature way i can think of handling this.


lol thats funny...and i do agree...take it to the streets and smoke him!! maybe that'll get him to shut up. GA's are crap! CRAP!

Ummm he said our cars where to big....Plus they dotn feel big when you drive them.......
