Default 96 T/A vs. 97 Grand Prix GTP

Im about to race a GTP which I believe is stock. Exactly how much of a threat does he pose? My T/A has a K&N FIPK, Flowmaster exhaust, Hypertech Power Programmer, Ported Heads, CC306 Cam, Superior Gear & Axle, Vigilante Torque Converter, and thats about it.

Not much, I had a 2001 with exhuast, cold air, and one size smaller pulley, I would go anywhere from 13.85 to 14.20 at about 98 mph. Bone stock maybe 14.80.

That year of the GTP has nothing on even a stock LT1. You should be good.

Race for pinks, if you're any good.

That car weighs nearly the same as you at 3600 lb area, and it is a FWD V6. I hope you take him..
I didn't think that car was that heavy. My Z is only at 3350 lbs.

So, your car is a low 12 second car ,making 350-390rwhp and you are wondering if you can beat a stock 180rwhp 4dr Grand prix?

GTPs can be made fast, but aren't all that when they are stock. I remember layin' the smack down on a bolt on'd '97 Z28 6spd in my '00 GTP with $300 worth of mods.

hehehe, I just raced the GTP today and ate it. Bad. It wasnt stock, it had simple stuff, like exhaust, intake, etc, and a 75 shot of nos is what he said. I only raced to 90mph and had him WAYYY back there, lol.

Correct and I went 13.8X swith about 600 bucks worth of crap. Not saying it compares with a F-body, but I loved that car is was so comfortable.
Here it is.
