    Plot twist: the cameraman flagged both races.
    - Ed - 2000 Grand Poverty Daytona edition. Rough idle. Funny whistle. Steering issues at WOT. 3.8 SC pulley.

    I like my GTP and I think its a pretty fast car. Its not my only car so I have things to compare it to. Its not like a modded GNX fast or some Big Block car fast, but the Grand Prix in general exceeds expectations and definitely gets out of its own way. I've only done minimal mods and standard maintenance and I've always been happy with its performance. I have good tires and brakes, Mobil one oil, new coil packs, wires, Iridium plugs, full tranny service. The only performance mods are a ZZP" 3inch DP with Hi flow cat into 3" mandrel bent pipes and solo-performance mufflers(1,400 custom build) and a K&N filter in the stock housing. Car definitely gets up. A local track here when the temps are nice I run about 9.93 in the 1/8th mile (Un-modded Mustang GT's run about 10 and crappy drivers about 10.5). I know there's a Million more mods I could have done and a lot more power to be had, but I ultimately I had to make a decision if I wanted to go crazy with it or not. I liked how it drove and performed as is so I started my 85 Monte carlo project. Swapped V6 for a 350 and started upgrading from there. That's really the car I've put more and time(and money) into.
