well. gee wizzz. I would be glad to race you in an autocross track. In fact That is what I just put on my car. GMPP adjustable suspension. Chris, I am sure Adam will fill you in on what all comes with this kit. As for Torque steer, that has been fixed with the LSD. buh bye |

Try give Chad a try in autocross!!! Type-r's are hard to beat in autocross unless it's a bad driver. I've seen guys autocrossing those and it's takes a damn good driver to be competitive with grand prix's. An automatic hinders the car quite a bit in that type of racing also.

yes you do drive a FAMILY car....oh sure, you may have the 2 door version, not the 4 door...never the less, it's not a performance car....and your trying to make it out to be, i don't want to get into car bashing, internet bench racing bullshit.....we can.... everybody already knows what i'm going to say, and i'll admit you almost had me ready go off.."h8civics"...."i hate hondas"....4-"bangers suck"...."yee haw"....don't bash on something you know nothing about...i'm all for people stating their opinions...as long as they can back it up w/ hard fact...and it seems your a little misled on your own car....because i can almost guarantee you wouldn't have put "autocross" and "pontiac grand prix GTP" in the same sentence.

I know i don't get on and post very much but I thought I would throw my 2cents on this topic. I don't think the motor in the GTO is bad, it is an LS1 and we all know what can be done to them. I do however, think it does look to much like and grand prix and not a muscle car, and i have heard the suspension is not the best. As far as grand prix torque steer goes an LSD does help but I had mine when I had my little mishap. Once you have so much power the torque steer overides the LSD. Ha8civics i would not take that bet with chris in autocross. Even with that suspension setup a grand prix would most likely not beat an Mr 2 or most smaller imports in autocross. I will back up Ha8civics on the grand prix being a performance car. GTP stands for grand touring performance. Anyone that has ever raced me can defend how much performance they can have. On a side note anyone that knows anyone with a new GTO 03-06 bring them out this summer and i will be more than happy to send them home with some empty pockets.  |

Adam ... Thank you.  Racer.... nothing I say would ever change youtr mind. I am going to walk away and be the bigger person. I could get into what you said about "4 bangers" and that " I dont know anything about them" I am laughing at that. heck, I am laughing at you. bye The fact is I am bringing my friend Eric out with me this summer. yeah I helped build his 4cyc awd turbo talon. from rear end to turbo setup, as well as internals/ love to see how he would do against you in a straight line/ or auto cross. we currently have it setup for road racing anyways. buh bye  |

SCCA isnt road racing. But i forgot that you have MAD autocross skills in your never-before-seen GTP. |

Whoa, whoa, what is this? I will even bet you that you wont COMPLETE a lap in a Grand Prix. Since you have so much experience apparently in Road Racing, when is the last time you have seen a GTP on a road course. OR an SCCA course? Because I have been doing scca in my brothers miata for a looooooong time, and i have YET to see one! Oh, and if you're THAT cocky, race me. |

1st - Adam, I don't care what it says on the side of the car you can't convince me that your car or hates on imports car is a performance car....."anybody that has raced me can defend how much performance they can have".....  like any other junkyard big block V-8 any body can throw a few parts and a shot of nitrous and think they have gods gift to riceracing....your fast in a straight line/drag that does not mean you have a performance car....prove to me that you can pull close to 1.0g on a skidpad, brake well, hang w/ at least 3 cars on a autocross track etc. etc., i could go on but you get my point.....i dig your car Adam, it's just not a "performance" car hater- your right, nothing YOU say will ever change my mind..... and I probably forgot more about cars than you know...so you go ahead and keep laughing....and i should have something by june to run you in....on the track, autocross, drag, drift, freeway pull....all of the above...you pick..1 or all...i'm tired of "talking"...i don't do that....actions speak louder than words...and you worked on a talon....lol...ok wow!...theres another fine piece of machinary....i hope it still runs by june. umm....."buh bye" |

Brad, I hope your getting a Type-r or an S2K or something along those lines. Nothing against Preludes, but I hope your not getting another.
