lol its funny that they are that way about intakes considering the fact that its the same engine and intake setup as any other gm 3800 vehicle. i would just stop posting over there if it were up to me. I have a monte now and i BARELY post on the monte forum, for the simple fact that i dont like the members over there and I would rather stick to a gp forum, considering its the same vehicle and all parts can coexist except for the exterior and interior..

My biggest thing I hate about the H-bodies are the stupid engine mount design......
can't even do a simple belt change on the side of the road if you needed...
ClubGP is a lot like what you say though, and I think its mostly because that's all they've ever read and so thats the only option in their head. Masses of brainwashed members spewing the same garbage.
I'd hate to see what they think of some stuff i've done with my turbo cars lol. Car held together with zip ties, duct tape couplers etc.
This forum is still great but the new members are just looking how to fix their rotting GPs. No one builds anything worthwhile anymore.

its a dieing breed Randall. the cars r becoming cheaper and cheaper, therefor the younger kiddies are getting them as first cars, not caring about making it fast. though, my friend Jacob is in the process of fine tuning his MP112 xpz '00 gtp and his '98 daytona track car. The setup on the blue car is now on the black car, the black car setup has been sold, and the blue car is undergoing a massive make-over that no one knows about…im kind of jealous, not gonna lie. lol this is how the black car sits today.

I've had 2 fast (high hp anyway) GP, upgraded all the suspension etc. They still aren't that fun lol.
Handling still sucks and traction is never there when you want it. I'd go from spooling to spinning in about 0.6 seconds. Then spun bearing in 2 seconds :P
I had fun modding my GTP's and did have some fun driving them, but there is a reason why most people move to RWD platforms.

i will always love this platform. as much as i say i cant stand it, i know it in and out. its the fun of always trying to make it better. sure, rwd is fun, but its the surprise factor of these cars.

If this platform had a decent transmission it would be almost perfect as far as FWD goes.

The GP looked better, was faster, and is still my baby, but the Miata is so much more satisfying to drive.
