Well, the good news is that my mods (and superb driving skill :-) ) have paid off and at my last visit to the track (Infineon raceway, formerly known as Sears Point) I pulled a 14.121 in the 1320 at 97.68 MPH (RT was a pathetic .717 that I need to work on, 60' was 2.231).

1997 Grand Prix GTP
Thrasher CAI (9" K&N)
Borla cat-back exhaust
Magnuson supercharger snout with 3.4" pulley
180-degree thrmostat
Reprogrammed PCM
Transmission cooler
Taylor wires
Irridium spark plugs
100-octane fuel on race day

I wish I could get traction, then I might be able to break into the 13's. Of course, I'd need a helmet then.

The bad news is that two days ago, after 134000 miles of driving, I finally got into an accident in my baby. Some idiot decided to make a left turn out of the right lane in front of yours truly, who was in the left lane, not intending to turn at all. So here's the unfortunate result:



So now I need a hood, fender, bumper, lights, rim, and the mirror for some reason has popped half way off the door.
