Default GTP vs bolt on LS1 SS

I totalled my SRT4 a couple of months ago. Long story, but it involved some douchebarg in a maxima. He thought he has what and it took, and he didn't. But I ended up driving my car through a walmart parking lot.


Anyway, I replaced my SRT4 with a modded 99 GTP, smaller pulley, ubend delete, xp cam, headers, catback, shift kit, tune ect ect.

Yesterday some dumbass that is my brother's friend was talking **** about my Grand Prix. Talking about how he could give me 3 cars from a 40 roll and put 5 cars on me by 120 or so. HAHAHA I thought, so we went out to run them.

We raced 3 times, the first time he gave me the 3 cars, and I added about 4-5 more on the way to 120. The next runs after that he self smarted himself and decided to run straight up. And on both runs I put about 6 cars on him each time. After the runs ***** didn't talk **** no more, and was really cool with me. Fast cars earn respect were I come from, so I'm happy I got myelf a pontiac now. He said he mods were a lid, full exhaust, 3.73 gears, and a tune.

Next up on my kill list is my friends STI.

Mustangs are all slow. Same as LS1's. One day I will build a car that is fast.

Sounds like your SS buddy needs to learn how to drive. Your GTP is quick but not nearly quick enough to put 6 cars on a bolt-on/tuned LS1 F-body with superior gearing. Especially from a roll. You should have lost, honestly.

Nice kill, though. It's always nice to shut up skit talkers.

I call bs. Sorry. I have a modded gtp and a bolt on ls1. The gtp has headers, no cat, 3.5 pulley, k/n intake, exhaust and a tune. My ls1 will RAPE my gtp. I even let the wife drive the ls1 and she rapes the gtp.

Opps. Didn't see you had a cam in the gtp. ZZP xp cam is a very nice cam for the 3800. You have a intercooler and what pulley?

I'm picturing him sliding sideways through it, hopping over curbs and ripping his undercarriage out. Of course he could have just ran into a couple of those hairy broad shouldered neanderthal waterbuffalo's that frequent Walmart's----- or one of there husbands. That would total even a GTO in a 10mph accident.

A long tubed LS1, would put a car or two on a cammed GTP from a roll. From a dig it's a different story.

They're quick, but not quick F-body quick.

Good race all the same though.

I get that anything happens on the street but to put 6 cars on him??? Think about it...6 cars?? Thats 1 1/2 Bus Lengths... LOL.

Either you need your eyes checked at Lenscrafters or that LS1 needs a big tune up.

oh yeah, and i have to throw in the ole' "Video or didnt happen!!!"
