    GXP vs GTP
    I had my first run in with another Grand Prix today, and I wanted to say thanks to the GTP and let’s do it again. While running out of town today on a 4 lane divided highway, a dark red GTP, with tinted windows shoots by me. Even though the road surface is smooth and dry, there’s too many driveways and such things to start anything so I let him go on by. A few minutes later I see in the distance, the GTP hitting his brakes for the last traffic light for the next 5 miles. The GTP is in the left lane and will be in the hole when the light turns green. Yea! In the right lane I see a tired old camper all ready in the #1 position. The road beyond the light is wide open and will be buffered by the national park for the next 1-1.5 miles! I hit the gas and jump in the left lane and race to get in line before the green flag. Just as I get to a complete stop, the light flashes green and off we go. As soon as we clear the shed on wheels I jump into to the right lane and I mash the gas pedal. The car leaps forward and I can hear my Presa Canario hit the back seat and begin to scramble for footing. I quickly jump out about one car. The car shifts slowly into second, but once there I begin to add another car. I shut it down after seeing three digits and the look on my wife’s face (she had never gone that fast before). We then proceed to the park to walk the dizzy dog.

    Be funny to see a dogs reaction if you got yourself a quick ass car. Bet the poor thing would piss itself.

    Perhaps this will do the trick; hardware is in for the N2O, but still needs to be wired up.

    LoL I get the something similar, my girlfriend always closes her eyes, holds on to the door handle and holds her breath wenever I floor the GTP. It's like an uncouncious reaction, but she never misses to do the same thing hahaha.

    good thing you didnt line up with my grand prix. youd have only been able to hear the blower whine for about 5 seconds before you would get to stare at the rear end for the rest of the time. ls4's are dogs.

    I dont get why ppl say ls4's are slow, on a cold night I can get 0-60 in 5 sec flat which is not slow by any means to me. and a good run in a 1/4 is high 13's(cold day)....how is that slow or a "dog", I know they dont have the support for them like the 3.8 sc motors but dang lol.

    I wish I could afford a cam setup that gave me 100 horses. However I am looking at VNP 056 Boss camshaft for my next build sequence.
