I got a nice chunk of money saved up, but I need it for another DD.
I want a 97-03 Grand Prix GT.

My current winter beater is a 97 Concorde but its got 170XXX (in great shape though) but Im not sure how much longer its going to last.
I can't mod my LT1 until I know I got a reliable DD, so after I get another car, Im going to put around $1,500 into my LT1.
Im thinkin Yank 3000, Cooler, LT's, Thermo, TB Bypass, Ported TB and PCMforless Tune.
I'd like to get it to low 13's, maybe high 12's.

I can't wait to ride my new sled though....
