Thread: 3.8 vs. 5.3 (Rep)

OH, I never doubted the thing...just stock GXP vs. a VERY few bolt-ons on a GTP and it'll be close...it is just I don't want to take the bashing from some guy who joins just to bash another guy ya know? Just shows the immaturity of it all IMO. I loved the interior/braking and exhaust note of the GXP...and I haven't seen the 11.5 but I'm sure it has, it just looked like the earlier ones weren't designed too well and they had LOTS of traction issues...

yes, i hear ya man. what i have planned for my car will be awesome. I have been talking with some custom shops here in AZ and all is possible with enough $ thrown at it. Saving is my problem lol... I am NOT here to bash any cars im a car nut just like the rest of u. hitting very low 12's and with enough luck "HOPEFULLY" hitting any 11's will make me shart a brick, this is my overall goal while still being able to go to the grocery store and smoke the turd in a german import next to me
