Fully built GM Racing (Ecotech) 4T65E-HD by DynoTech. 650HP half shafts. Anti-torque steer lower a-arm bars with Heim joints. That's the best we could do for now. Gotta get some rubber under it for the street (slicks aready in the garage). Hoping for 11's N/A. Turbo by summer. We'll see wha hoppens!

I understand your point, the 3.8 ran 13.5 @ 104.

That must have taken alot of work to get it right at home in a GP....prop to you

Do you think it would have been much harder to make it a rear wheel drive car....I am thinking getting the tranny for the FWD setup must have been alot of work.

What tranny are you using anyway?

I own a grandprix and love everything about it except the fact that they dont have a manual trans and are FWD

Cool! Watch out GP GXPs! Traction is not your friend and you'll fighter for her every turn of the wheel.

Keep us up to date!

That is amazing! Really really cool! If ricers can handle the FWD then you can do it. I'm interested to see what that runs. Rember you can still do donuts in reverse.

Donuts? Surely you ! E-brake, wheel hard over, add throttle, don't you think?

Seriously, there are 3800 GP's in the low 10's. This should do high 11's with the same traction. Time will tell.

I owe it all to Loyde's (FastFieros) talent and expertise. It seems that guy can do almost anything! He deserves the props. He's earned them!
