I have had 3 and all of them were crap the starters are junk. the heads suck balls and i bought a new 2003 sts and 2 months later the piston slap was so bad that i had to put a new JUNK STAR in it. And after having a shop for the past 2 years and worked on over 20 i DO know ALOT about them

^^^^ thats messed up, your the only person i've heard say that lol. and i would say the same about gtp's cuz bf had 3 and all of them broke down, mine is acting up but im not downing l67s. you take care of your car and it'll take care of you. and its been several n* with 400k miles same headgaskets and trans. even the 4.0 n* is a good motor. they used it in a twin turbo setup for the lm cars(didnt think a girl knew that lol) and i hate to say it coolant should be changed twice a year so i'll take a n* over a stock l67 anyday.(hope i dont get banned), but fully modded l67 nah. but as far as them being crap dunno maybe you got the ones made on friday/holidays lol, but i remember for over 6 years straight bf dogged his caddy and his moms caddy and they held up and ran like new until somebody stole his and moms traded hers in for a cts

call me crazy then...if i still had this car i would wail on all of you. i mean i can now with my GTP and my Malibu, but still
and for the record, a stock GTP doesnt stand a chance against a STS

I thought so....according to the numbers-----2001 Cadillac Seville STS 6.5 14.8-----1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 6.6 14.9.....we're only talkin a tenth of a second....with the mods we can do, it should be no problem. STS's has about40-50 more horses!!!

those numbers are lies and you can mod them to lol its an airpump just like any other car just everybody doesnt know how to tune them, but they have a 5 angle valve job that makes them 85 real horses. and the 4t80 handles way more abuse than our 4t65hd, and they have no wheelspin off takeoff so if your stock you might wanna leave them alone.

I dont lie. Im no teenie bopper. These numbers are on motor trend.com as well as motor week and car and driver (check youtube). The guy also stated that they were neck to neck until about 60mph. The STS's also has major wheelspin. When my buddy first bought it, he left a 10' mark on the pavement! Its all about foot control!

I also ran with a dodge charger police package and i didnt get beat bad. I was at his rear fender to 60. My car is completly stock! Here is a link to the numbers I found 0-60 Times / 1/4 Mile Times .
