Thread: Dumbest question I have ever asked

Race him and find out.

i bet he beats ya. off the line, and the whole way to the end.

and i dont see a riv being any bigger then a w body.

the Riviera weighs about the same as a w. It is a bigger car but they used a lot more aluminum in its construction.

Btw I guess I'm just ranting because I found this kids Craigslist ad and couldn't help but send him a "interested" email, I was super hype about how his ad says he beats Honda's and Pontiacs and does mad peels that I asked him what kind of Honda's and Pontiacs and he came back with a story about how he beat a local guys riced out maroon grand prix and proceeded to link me to my own Craigslist ad. I got all butt hurt because one he called my car rice, and two why claim a win if it never happened!?

I find my car far from ricey

His on the other hand

And on a way off note, since when did any se ever look this good? (My Google supplied image of grand prix specs)

if i had to pick one to own, your car wins hands down. his car is a full blown hoopty, that scoop and poorly done racing stripes are killing me lol

it could be worse. ive yet to get more pics of this jem, hes doubled down on the autozone press on chrome crap. (hard to believe i know ) i know a guy who knows him, he thinks its super fast and will beat everything else on the road. and hes not 17. mid 30's for sure,,,time to grow up a little bit huh?

That Riv is a hoopty for sure! But this Mitsu****sy takes the cake. There's a couple of those guys everywhere, the addicted to chrome plastic type. You see those cars and you just think "WHAT A MORON!". Same with the hood scoop on the Riv. Get outta here.

That Grand Prix is looking Rlugo! Fresh wash and everything. Same color as mine. Getting mine repainted that same color soon. The best color on these cars, IMO.

That Riv is rough, but he may have actually done some worthwhile mods. You can race him and find out. Either way, you can go home knowing your car doesn't look like a blind man did the cosmetic mods to it

What are you worried about, just go race him to 60 somewhere safe. Make sure you practice getting a good start so you at least know what you are doing. He could spin up off the line but so what if you lose - your car looks 10x better and they are just daily drivers

I would start telling the kid "why you always bring me junk?" tell him to make it look as good as yours and then you will race him. you could also consider the adage: "if you beat up a retard, what have you accomplished, and who are you going to tell?"

another thing to consider is that the 96 riv has the 4T60, and I am pretty sure it is not tunable, so with those things in mind, I would say you have a shot at winning the race. Also, according to wikipedia, the riv weighs just shy of 3800 lbs, and your GT should be around 3500, so 300 lbs give or take.

its tuneable. dhp supports it.

96 riv folder with a dhp 1.5 in it, its very possible not all osid's were mapped, but that one should work. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x50s9l6fd...N4eSvJ2Wa?dl=0

Stock vs. Stock 0-60 is margin of error. Modded and tuned(GT) vs. Stock should be a win by the GT. Put on some good tires and see what happens. Just remember low end is what the 3800 does best, if he beats you off the line, there is no way you reel him in.
