And would you really swap out a V6 for a V6, WTF!? OF COURSE! Maybe you've heard of L67swap.com, probably not though. You obviously know nothing about this board or me.

You obviously know nothing about this board or me. From what i've been seeing on this board, there's not a whole lot of people that do anything with their cars other than stickers and painting stuff. Most of the threads are about various minor problems people get and are crying about "How do I fix this or that", and "Forget it, tomorrow it's going to a shop". "Rear hub replacement", "center console", "tie rods", and best of all, "oil filter location". I was shocked when nobody knew that the exhaust manifolds for all '97-03 GP's were the same between L67 and L36 engines. One thing I do know about you, is that you drive a honda bike, yamaha bike, and a dodge truck. These choices in transportation lead me to believe you don't know much about vehicles. And redgie the wedgie, I agree with you on the older GP's. I've been wanting to get an '87 or so GP, and swap a 400/turbo 350 into it. But that won't go over real well with the wife. You might see GT's everywhere, but how many modded ones do you see? I surprised a guy in a stock '05 GT not long ago by pulling on him pretty hard from a ~35 roll up to about 60. Told him about ClubGP, he was surprised to hear how many perf. parts could be had for a GP. Stang GT's probably don't believe it's not a GTP either when they lose.

Im seeing alot more mods to GP ever since the body change. I suspect people are beginning to realize what a true bargain they are. AS more 03`s are coming off lease and back into the used car market, there will be more and more bought by younger drivers. AS a result more mods. Either way the domestic performance car market hasnt been this hot since the late 60`s early 70`s.

These choices in transportation lead me to believe you don't know much about vehicles. maybe YOU don't belong on this board. nobody has been more of a jerk than you this past week. exactly the reason that i stay off of clubGP's board. can't stand the people there.

Told him about ClubGP, he was surprised to hear how many perf. parts could be had for a GP. Stang GT's probably don't believe it's not a GTP either when they lose. Not everyone has 4 grand to drop into a car. So what mods are done people take pride in. As for the repair stuff people have to learn sometime their not born with it. There are lots of variables between the L67 and L36. I like how people on here would rather say I'm not sure then to spout out something that is incorrect. As for attacking BryantGTP about his choice of vehicles what does it matter if he has a variety. He knows what he wants and he gets what he needs. I guess it bothers you that I know nothing about vehicles either if I own a Chevy Silverado, Yamaha V-star, and a GTP. Variety is the spice of life. We have strived hard to keep this board from going in the direction of Clubgp. Yes we answer alot of the same questions over and over again. We could say do a search yada yada yada but that only tends to push people away and the communication gets rather boring. If you don't like the way things work around here you either have to suck it up or move on. But lashing out at people who don't know how to do something and come looking for advice or basing your opinions about some one by there choice of transportation is not welcome here. It's your choice.

Well said fella's... Mike, you're more than welcome to stay, but the attitude has got to go. This is not a private forum of veteran mechanics that doesn't allow newbie questions. This is a public forum that supplies information about the GP. We DO allow any and all newbie type questions. We do not allow attacking of any kind. If you are interested in attacking people about their knowledge, then please visit www.clubgp.com and enjoy your stay there.

nad, you would be suprised; I'm 20 living in the Washington D.C. area (bad traffic) and I have one reckless driving ticket (92/55) and one ticket for failure to maintain proper control stemming from a rear-end accident a few years back when I had my mustang... yet insurance for my 97 GTP only runs abour $200/year more (for liability/comprehensive) than it did for my old 93 Saturn SL1! Get a quote and see how much it would run you for a GTP. You *might* be suprised.

Oh, yeah, and P.S. to the last post... ClubGP is full of jerks! I went on their IRC channel once asking for info about the size of wrench needed for my oil drain plug... not only did they treat me like I was stupid, but they told me the wrong size!

Okay guys... stop fighting.... this is not clubgp. T-bat, we all go through what you're going through. Looking at a car that grabs the attention and starts the brain to work about what or how to mod is common along gearheads like us. From my experience, take a deep breath and wait a few days and then see how you feel about things. Worked for me, otherwise I would be driving a Bonne myself if I didn't cool off.
