i own 2 gp's. a black 98 and a black 77. i stopped driving the 77 because it costed me $150 to fill the tank (it has a 650 horse 455 h/o) but about my venting: i realized with gas, food, insurance, taxes, etc going up and me not being able to afford to beef up my car as much as i want, i realized its never going to be perfect from the members rides on here, to the ones on ctgp club, cardomain, and clubgp. ive seen some nice gp's and im debating on quitting the beef up process of my car because i know ill never get it to the way i want it to compete with the 77 or even go to carshows, at least the pontiac/oakland ones so i can get at least 50% respect. so far ive done a full frontal grill job with matching rear, hotchkiss suspension/steering, true dual exhaust, cold air k/n intake, extensive dash work, and just plain waxing, claybarring, glazing and just trying to keep it nice. what i really wanna do is ws6 hood, turbo setup, l67, xp cam setup, dumpers, rear window louvers like the older t/a's have (i seen one with them and i thought i looked too cool), performance shift kit, hud, targa roof (yes i have seen a white one and i almost **** my pants when i saw it), black housed lights and rear, and just run a 12 at least. currently it runs high 14 but i do weigh 310lbs but i have lost 135lbs in 5yrs and ive had the car for 7. but, any nice ppl out there to give me some insight or any place where gp parts are dirt friggin cheap, id love to chat. enclosed are pix of my car i took last month just 15min after the claybar, waxjob used with mothers only (chip foose recommended) thx members and i hope to get to know some of you very soon!
