Project Rallycross

**camopaint0707** · 05-06-2013

My 1999 GTP. Got it for $1500 on eBay from Newport News, VA. Got it Jan 2013 and I have yet to actually drive it since I parked it at my garage and have had to work elsewhere since. This summer I'm going to begin tearing into it. Plans are sub 13 seconds in the 1/4 mile. 100+mph in the 1/4 mile. 300whp on the dyno. I need to fix the AC compressor, windshield, and do a tune up before that begins though.
Future engine mods:
Gen V supercharger
ZZP stage 1 Throttle body
3.4 pulley
Stainless steel headers
Underdrive water pump pulley
Underdrive alternator pulley
VS Camshaft
Zex nitrous kit (probably 50-75 shot)

Future appearance mods:
Projector headlights with HIDs
Mirror strobe lights
Front bull bar with off road lights
Roof off road lights
Triple gauge pod

What happened to the dodge idea? Now a subaru rally cross idea? Might as well just get some WRX badges and a can of bright blue spray paint. Personally, you could spend your money on making this car looking good instead of a bull bar on a grand prix.

Always had the rally idea.

Too heavy, too slow, fwd, no handling.

Have fun.

**Sandman** · 05-07-2013

This should be interesting. Will you actually get coilovers and gasp...raise the car?

**ericspecullaas** · 05-07-2013

subed for progress

I've seen a lot of bad ideas come up in this forum, but I think this might be the worst.

Such negativity on this forum. I have an 11 second G8. I like having a car to just absolutely **** around this.

Good for you.

Still a terrible idea.

**Explicit_Spade** · 05-07-2013

I see zero suspension mods listed...

11s in a G8 don't impress me much.

**ericspecullaas** · 05-07-2013

ok miss twain lol

Rally?? With the way transmissions get treated in rallies you might not make the 2 corner. Definately worth a laugh if you are not serious about doing well in a competition.

Not rally, rallycross!

**camopaint0707** · 05-07-2013

I'll leave the suspension stock for now. You guys love these cars so much I would only assume they come perfect from the factory.

**ericspecullaas** · 05-07-2013

Just because our cars are a TERRIBLE platform for a rallycross... that does NOT mean we all think our cars are perfect.. but nice work champ.

Who loves these cars? They have many factory flaws. One of the biggest being the suspension and body roll. Another is heat soak. Not to mention the terrible transmissions.

Wanna tell me more about your sweet off road lights and pushbar?

**camopaint0707** · 05-07-2013

Probably is yeah. But it's either this or my thunderbird and the GP is faster than the thunderbird so we'll start here. I'm sure I'll get a lot of negative feedback but it's for fun. Don't take it to seriously guys.
