Yeah, I definitely would not pay $400 for them, find a good used set on clubgp classifieds if you go that route. Should help your gas mileage some.

so without a cam your looking at basically 1% ????
or 2.3 HP.....

yeah not for 400 bucks...

well its pretty well finalized.

had the full private inspection done today and she came back pretty much spotless....

wet oilpan gasket (not leaking)

wet intake gasket (not leaking)

needs tie rod ends and brakes at some point in the future (not immediately)

for a car with 100K+ I think that is a pretty good review....

99 GT 105K bone stock one owner mint condition inside and out. $3500 + tax

so Wednesday will be the day I join your ranks.... once I have some pics I will post up with a formal introduction.

Thanks for all the help during the process....

I look forward to adding value to your community and of course reaping the benefits of your huge wealth of knowledge.

Thanks Again
Thomas

Congrats!

The oilpan is normal as is the intake. The top one is probably cause of the valve cover gaskets. The oil pan once it starts leaking you'll have to drop the cradle or lift the motor off the cradle in order to remove the pan to change it. PITA.

Sounds like a good deal. Congrats.

crap, the guy that was going to buy my truck is starting to give me the run around.....



unfortunately if dude does not take the truck I am not getting the GP unless I want to foot it out of pocket until the truck sells.....

crap... crap... crap....

up until now dude has been very confident that he would be picking the truck up on tuesday now he wants to wait until his vehicle sells..... CRAP!!!

I think i might pickup the GP anyway and just finance it until the truck sells....

what do you guys think???

I don't think that dude is gonna buy your truck.

I hear the same sad-sap story nearly every day in this business. He aint selling his, he aint buyin yours, and you're stuck wanting the GT. Find a new buyer, and consider financing the GT.

If you really like the car, and can swing the financing, find another buyer, and get the GT.

I think thats exactly what im going to do.

who said the supercharger is more fuel efficient? thats a straight lie.

The GT will net you better mileage in daily driving especially in the city. But at 90k miles I would take the well maintained card over a best care 40hp gain. Older engines lose power to compression leaks and mechanical wear so maintenance is very important.

I think the justification was the transmission not the SC. thanks for the info though

I don't know how a supercharger can be fuel efficient, since it doesn't use any fuel.

Do you just feel like throwing out broad statements without any sort of justification? Or do you want to elaborate a bit?

Is your GT doing better then 21/34? You gotta remember the GTP uses a different gearing so the motor uses less rpms at the same given speed as a GT/SE.
