    If a GTP ran 15.1 then it was either driver error (insert Serenity GTP here )or the car needed love. My GTP ran 14.9x bone stock...down to the paper filter and u-bend still in it.

    Intake, 3" DP...180* on a cold day with a 3.5" went 14.26 around 96-97...

    1.84 Roller Rockers, 160*, colder plugs...and all that crap that means nothing...netted 99-100 mph trap speeds running 13.8-13.9...still no tune...car probably would have gone mid 13's tuned.

    I don't even want to know how slow my silver car runs...and obviously it got pooped on a basically stock GTP (intake, tune...etc)

    See destruction, here: http://www.grandprixforums.net/real-...ace-56685.html

    Granted, anything is better than stock...but by today's standards...hell, even 12 second quarter miles are becoming common. Back in the mid to late 90's...mid 14's for a family sedan was pretty quick.

    Damm you got demolished, lol ya it is true now a days cars are much more fast stock now. As for the GTP i want to get that car and pretty much mod it to be at least a 13sec car over time. i have heard that it can be done with way less $$$ used than other cars, is that true? so putting it in real world situation say a 04 or 99 GTP can be modded ( with all that LARGE aftermarket support) to become a 13 sec to mid 13 sec car pretty easily?

    EDIT:: BTW thats an N/A GP your racing with, sounds pretty good. Hey it may be slower than a GTP, OBVIOUSLY, but it aint no rice rocket and will beat the hell out of em
