so people do exhaust mods and intake mods to try and gain 10hp, but somehow 300HP v8 is not worth it?
that would be awesome!
If I put that motor in my GT I just gained 100HP so as far as "no mods" for it, that would be ok by me , lol.
and the 5 speed would be fun too.
as far as the car itself, I don't really like what he has done to it, but the motor and trans, I like it.

yea I know, anything can be done pending your wallet depth.
since I own a GT with 150k miles, should say something about how much money I DON'T have, lol.
it does look like the N* would be a real pain in the A** to work on in the grand prix if there were any issues.
I just think its a cool idea, and not saying its better than modding a v6, because I know there is more HP potential from the V6. The V8 would sound cool, and have plenty of torque to get you around town in a hurry. I like the 5 speed part too, but I don't know what tranny he is using or anything (how reliable it would be).

It was probably a nice setup a few years ago when it was done but there are better options nowadays,and for the money involved you could grab a used GTO .Chico(pops)

Seen this posted a few times before...
Definitely not worth the money invested, but that's a sweet ride to me!
I would tear off that body kit and put back on a GT-GTP bumpers and make it a sleeper. I like the Pontiac symbol in the paint that runs on the top.
Also, exhaust it not to my liking, but I doubt he will get what he wants for that car...

He's had that thing for sale for so long now, I think it's obvious that nobody wants to buy it.
