    I thought I was getting a ticket. I just got a ticket a month ago on the same road for doing 56 in a 45 but he was nice enough to drop it down to 54 so it wasn't 10 over. It's the only time I've gotten lucky like that. Normally I don't street race but it was my first chance to race since I got my turbo running good and building 10 pounds of boost so I couldn't turn it down. But now I know it's worth waiting until I go to the track cuz it could of gone a lot worse

    I would never want a lightning... traction would be a ***** to get (says a guy driving a gtp).... have seen a couple here and there but anytime its racing or anything it just seems like all they do is spin....

    they sound nasty though for sure...

    There's plenty of L's that hook just fine...A set of Cal-Trac bars and QA-1s will show you tailgate with a quickness.
    I may say rude things but learn to take a joke. The internet is funny when you can laugh.

    240 HP, 15.6 seconds in the quarter, stock. I have one and I love it but that's not fast even by GP standards. After all they are a 2.5 ton brick.
    2005 Grand Prix GTP CompG. Overkill PCM, ZZP S2 I/C, ZZP MPS W/ 3.3" pulley, 1.9 YT rockers, 42.5# injectors, Moroso wires and AL104 plugs, 180 Thermostat, LS4 MAF.
    Front PLOG, Rear PLOG, crossover, all ceramic coated. ZZP 3" Downpipe and 3" exhaust pipes with Borla S-Type mufflers.
