We hit up O'Reilly's Race Park in Indianapolis on Tuesdays occasionally. We are heading up April 7th for sure. There are a couple other tracks I plan to test my car out on, Edgewater and a I think Brownstown has one. Not entirely sure. What all mods are done to yours?

Wish my suspension work would be done by then if you've got all that. Your car should give me one hell of a run...you don't have the paddle shifters do ya?

Those gtps are quick and are sleepers. my buddy used to have one. i raced him in my pitiful lt1 at the time. my lt1 had a slipping tranny and shifted at like 4k. he would get me out of the hole by 2 cars and up top i would fly past him pretty hard at around 100 mph. those were the good old days when i was 16.

I just started reading on those cars right after you posted. I've seen stock for stock races, and those cars come out on top on the low end. It'd be interesting to see your car run.

with the right mods those suckers can be very quick. my brother has one with a smaller pulley and hes running a high 13. my buddy has a 4door one with a decent amount of work but nothing crazy, and he is running high 11s. low 11s on the juice.

I would say. LT1 sucks in the snow. I was stuck in the same spot for about a week or two. Once I tried getting out, just would get stuck again. I about got a Jeep Wrangler stuck in the same spot after getting it out. Ever ran the GTP at a track?

Wait till you guys run into a turbo grand prix! They can be fast. My 99 turbo gt looks stock. I love the look on peoples faces after I race. They all want to see under my hood!!

Sounds like it is pretty mean. Idk much about those motors, so I have no idea how much power you are putting out.

500whp + with a tune. The 3800 loves boost from a turbo. To bad the car is front wheel drive. Can never hook even with nitto dr's heated up. That's why I bought the camaro!! v8+rwd= Win!! Look up turbo gtp on youtube or streetfire.

It's a hand full on the streets! Torque steers like a ****. It sure is fun to get full boost and spin on a 30 mph roll!!! I run 20 psi btw.
