Like this? About halfway through they pull up next to the guy and ask him about the car.

Ya like that! What a tard. That guy said he has a K&M supercharger, I wonder if he's referring to that ugly air scoop on the hood of his car?? People these days.
I doubt that Monte will run anything better than low 16s. Not knocking V6s at all, but I'm sure the 3400 in his car is stock and with those wheels and all those stickers weighing him down I doubt he could break 15s. I'd bet money on it.

Thats really good for a N/A Grand Prix. Is that a 3800 Series I engine? What all did you have done? My old Monte had the 3800 Series II but I could never run any better than low 15s (street tires) but it was basically stock and I never pulled the headlight or anything like that.

Yeah Mel's Prix is confusing me. Looking at it, it sure looks N/A, unless I've gone blind and can't spot the super charger, but he has GTP badges on it. So what's up with the badging?

We have a few businesses around here that decal up their company car as an advertisement, mainly those fast cash places.
Like the back of the Dorritos burb!
Don't think that will ever go mainstream, but I like it better than the ricer decaling. I would push for some kinda sponsorship from the company.

i wouldnt knock it at all, hell i mean its just a popular thing that we are doing down there, but i wouldnt do because it would bring too much attention. But on the other hand, there are plenty more that looks way better than that monte

Aww I used to have a worked up 3400 in my old '93 GP....I dont have the time for that anymore or I'd be running a 3500 in my red '92....I had a 3.4 TDC in that car and yanked it. Hell I even rebuilt the transmission myself....I never ran low 14's with it but I tihnk it would've if I had some drag tires on it. My best time was a 14.8 at 96 with a 2.4 60 foot...it was too hard to get out of the hole...
I need to replace the clutch in my 92...I'd rather buy fancy pants headlights for the monte but the '92 needs a clutch.. so I bought a clutch.....
