If you throw nitrous into the equation I could have an 11 second setup for next to the price of dirt.

Thought i would chime in. I own a GT that I top swapped to GTP standards with a cam, injectors, headers, trans, milled snout etc etc.. I did the ENTIRE build including a transmission that is damn near bullet proof for under 4k. There is something to be said about a car that runs low 12s all day long and drives home with heads up display, leather heated seats, and can kill vettes. Mind you the whole car is under 9 thousand dollars.
I am just starting to build my z28 that I bought. I cant get close to doing it as cheap as the grand prix.
FYI.. my grand prix stomps my close to stock m6 ls1.

First off, Fbodys are for the most part cheaper then Vettes to mod, that's a given. Ok, I have approx. $5k in my C5 excluding the wheels. Heck it was $800 in parts to swap the clutch. It makes 500hp, will run 11's and trap 120+, gets 33-34mpg highway (I checked multiple times), reliability and drivability are absolutely great. I'd like to see your GTP even come close to it in a race.

Price it's really hard to compete... I spent 300.00 total to do my cam swap (including cam, new pushrods, valve springs, lifters, etc).. between tune and the long tubes Ill be adding I should have another 1000.00 on top of that.
I could have went with a bigger cam and probably met my goal but after LTs/Tune I should be bottom 12s with any kind of traction.
I can't really compete in the 'under 9 grand thing' as I bought the car 6+ years ago and it was 16K at the time. I doubt this pissing match is even worth having to be honest... it's dirt cheap to get an LS1 into the low 12s/high 11s area... if I wanted to do it for under a grand I would just toss a 150 shot on and call it a day.

Years ago I could say a Foxbody but my god people ask a crap load of money for those things

Hahaha that's not me you clown. That VerzGTP dude's thread was pretty funny though. Why don't you go post over there and tell him all this? Then post YOUR ls1 kill story. Like I said, should be good for quite a few laughs. You're the only one trying to bull **** everyone here with your bogus story. Your GTP is slow.
It's faster than your Grand Prix ya ******* tool. Post a pic of your 2002 Z28 to prove me wrong. Have an moderator or admin check his IP address against mysticz28's IP. You'll find it's the same, about 35 miles west of Norfolk, NE. Unless he's using a proxy.
Chicken **** bitch, afraid to hide behind his user name that he normally hides behind. You're ******* pathetic Jake.

300 for a camswap?
Pushrods,new springs,LS2 timing chain,cam and a tune does not equal 300 bucks. You need fluids,gaskets etc... Sometimes a cam swap if its big means new injectors too as well as LS6 oil pump in an older car too.. You saying 300 bucks for cam swap in a LS1 is way unrealistic. Hell many cams are MORE than $300-mine was. Thats a Furytype post.

Cam, springs were 200 shipped and I bought trick flow 7.425 pushrods for 100.00, if you want to count the two 45 cent dowel rods used to hold up the lifters I believe I went a little over the 300.00 mark. Technically I didn't need the pushrods so u could have pulled it off for 200.00
Didn't need to change things needed for a much bigger cam but I clearly didn't get the gains you would with a much bigger cam.
You can argue though... I know what I paid.
