Not really. When it's got a Gen III motor, and a Camaro body, either '69 or '02, THEN, I will be back at the track w/another car...This Pontiac is just a car to use as a DD for awhile, and see if I can make a few little improvements to it. WJ

My brother has a 2002 grand prix GTP-all black, his mods are an intake, supercharger 3.4" supercharger pully, DHP PCM and SLP headers(dont get them, you're better off with the TOG's headers) and he ran a 13.6, those cars are quck off the line. The car never gave him trouble, very reliable

I had a 98 GTP and I did some mods to it and the tranny lets go at 52k,that pissed me of to no end.I didnt even beat on it,got it fixed and a week later a woman runs a stop sign and nailed me.So 1 month later 3k in repairs later got it back and saw my TA trade time.

UR right, Brent.That '02 roller in NY on the island interests me, but it's really set up for a stick w/all the suspension mods. Automatic is the only way I'll go after the consistency and reliability of my orange car. A Typhoon or Cyclone that's all done up to go 10's could make me jump back in, as well. When I see the right thing--I'll know it..... Nineball's LS6 '69 SS is EXACTLY what I'd like right now.... Best wishes Brent. WJ

Well, I've been told you can make them go low 13's w/out hardly spending much at all, 12's spending $2k, and 11's maybe $1500-2k more...but FWD cars just are not my thing for drag racing. I'll spend the $ on RWD muscle. It's a generation thing, you know?? WJ

Those late 60's SS were one of the best looking musclecars. Blue white stripe my fav. Every once in awhile I think chuck the vette and get one . But then technology hits. I could definatley see you in one of those though.

Check Nine Ball's '69 SS w/supercharged LS6 power, a Viper internals 6 speed, modern suspension and braking, and more in the new issue of Chevy High Performance...It is the *****. WJ
