My new car!

[kyle99gtp]

I dont know how many of you remember me, I haven't been around for quite a while because over the past year I really lost interest in the Grand Prix.

To give you guys a short expalination, I demodded and sold my GTP a little less than a month ago, and I was looking to get a WRX to replace the GTP. I gave up on that idea and started looking at other options because everyone want way too much for their used Subarus. Anyhow, I picked up my replacement today:



I know it's a slobalt but it's a 2006 SS/SC, obviously a 5 speed. It has 55,000 miles on it and honestly I really like it so far (drove it over 300 miles already). It's sitting in my driveway right now with a Vibrant Performance header and Magnaflow catback in the trunk/backseat. After those parts are on I'm planning on getting an intake and ZZP's stage 3 kit which consists of a larger FMHE, 60lb injectors, a pcm and a MPS (Planning on running a 2.8 pulley, maybe smaller). Looking to see about 250HP at the wheels, just because I'd like to have the same power as the GTP but in a lighter car.

As of right now if has after market CCFL halo Projectors and is otherwise stock, except that it has no muffler. Which is changing asap when the Magnaflow goes on, becuase it sound awful.

Cool story, huh?

Slobalt ftw! Even if it is the s/c they still can be pretty freakin fast. I like it alot, and good choice on the exhaust setup. My buddy has the magnaflow catback on his na and it sounds really good. Gotta post some vids of the exhaust and it in action!

Nice car I like the slobalts myself also.

Well, I'm glad the money for the handling kit went to a good cause...

[Bio248]

it sucks that subarus are overpriced for what they are. i would have loved one too.

[CTKGP09]

[boosting98]

Paid cash for the car so every dollar counts I didn't get the kit shipped out today because this became an all day affair but I will get it shipped asap.

I'll be all over between school and work, I'll keep my eyes open for you.

Headers, borla catback, 1.9 roller rockers, wideband tuned, all the basic supporting mods. It made 245 HP and 326 Ft-lbs at the wheels in the spring of 2009. I had a cam, race trans and I/C that never got installed because I sold them to get my R6. Just lost interest in the GTP.

Thanks! It's actually really dirty right now, the guy I bought it from didn't have time to get it cleaned up. I'm going to zaino it this weekend and then I'll take some pictures

[noreasonwhyy]

nice, how much did you pay for it?

[kyle99gtp]

nice, how much did you pay for it?

Haha that's kinda blunt to ask that, but I paid $7300. Everything else I saw around me that was even close to comparable was at least 9500, but more like 10-12K.

[noreasonwhyy]

good buy. how else should i have asked?

[JoRoW99]

**** thats an awesome deal! gg. i consider gtps to be equal to cobalts, stock for stock, even though the cobalt has ~40 less hp. so if you get the same hp as a gtp, ull smoke a lot of things. I swear every other w-body owner is switching to cobalt ss/ion redline.

[kyle99gtp]

Oh there's really no other way lol. Just wasn't expecting that. No worries man, and thanks, I'm happy with the car, especially since I was about to drop 9500 on a WRX with 75K miles and salvage title

I agree a lot are. Congrats on the new buy, Derek was telling me you were getting a cobalt. Surprised me at first but to each their own. I definately can't blame you with the price you got that for. BTW, thanks for the rockers

From what I've seen, most ss/sc cobalts are running around 14.4-14.7 in the 1/4 mile stock. I ran a 14.5 in my GTP when it was stock so I'd say stock vs. stock they are more or less equally matched.

Just to make you feel better I got a buddy with a Bigger HE/injectors/custom/meth/I THINK a 2.9" or 2.8"/intake/catback and it made 268 to the tire with 240 TQ? I'll have to find the video on my facebook but it was damn impressive I thought. Good buy man btw...
