the damn dyno at WCC didn't like the GN.. it took a hour to get the RPM lead to even work and it STILL didn't work correctly.. but i was like F it, i want to pull some numbers.. well, the dyno only recorded up to 5000RPM due to that problem and my car runs up to 6500RPM..

the car was picking up 110RWHP every 1000 RPM, so we think that it would have put down 710RWHP.. PLUS the car wasn't even cold, it was red hot due to us running it for about that hour trying to get that problem fixed..

O well.. Damn Buick...


the chart shows that it was still pulling hard up to 5000..



Thanks LS1Dave for taking the photos and hanging out for 3 hours LOL..

Really? I only saw it once and i already wanna get one, haha

nordy racer

it's between really 2 cars right now...

99 Viper GTS ACR black on black.. those cars have FULL forged motors and car support 800 to 900RWHP stock.. thinking of putting on a Twin Turbo kit and calling it a day

or a 08 Z06.. just bolt ons (headers, high flow cats, Tune, intake ) maybe a cam .. once it's paid off, then a turbo kit or big blower..

BUT i was even thinking about a LS3 Vette, due to the price.. i get Supplier Discount at Chevy for work so on a LS3 plain Jane i can get a out the door price of 40K.. Install the same stuff as i stated above..

don't know.. i have to sell the GN (and my TT 300zx) first before i can act on my dreams LOL..

Good Luck....and I wish I had a discount at Chevy

Take full advantage....it'll come in handy

All 3 cars you listed are Beasts!

you know whats funny is that i didn't even know i had it.. i went to the chevy dealer off the 405 ( where all the vettes are, Corman i think) and started talking to the sales manager about discounts.. over on the Vette sites, out of state dealerships are giving Z06 and LS3 away at Employee Discount prices and also Suppliers WITHOUT any questions.. so i asked if they would match so that i didn't have to deal with pay taxes coming into CA from a outstate purchase.. he was like NOPE.. he asked if i have a Supplier number and asked where i worked.. i stated the name of my company and he was like YEP you have it ..

i when home and looked it up and found out that i also have the X plan discount for Ford, and also a discount with dodge (and everything else they make)..

So for a new LS3 or Z06 i'm looking at 9 to 12K off the price..

-Z06 out the door with taxes for 64K..
-the Viper would be around 55K due to it being a ACR (only 215 made and 30 only in black in 1999) also the car has 10,000 miles on it..
-Black LS3 with the Z51 and NPP with Gray wheels for 40K..

Ah that sucks nordy...so you have a buyer for it already?! Goodluck


Id personally go w the ls3 or the z06...but a viper will still be killer!...hopefully i'll get to check out the GN before it goes to its new owner..

All 3 of your choices for a new car are great, i wouldnt know what to choose...Actually a TT LS3 sounds pretty good

I saw the same thing happen with a GN at MTI in Houston once. I didn't catch what the issue was.

Black viper with 10k miles........the one with the wilwoods and the hre's in the central valley?

nordy racer

it's a used viper dealership up in Northern Cali...

i think i saw that one to on Autotrader your talking about.. but it has silver strips, i want a ALL black one, no strips..

nordy racer

had a dude in New York looking at it but nothing happen.. Then a guy in Chicago was asking about it but he wanted to look around in his area.. Well now he is back and wanting to move on it.. if i didn't get those CA tags and title it would have been there by now.. now we have to wait in till the title gets back to me from CA DMV..

i like the vettes due to the 100K warrenty, plus they are NEW and i don't have to wrench every weekend..

the Viper is just sick looking, and i love that they are low production and that you don't see them a lot on the streets..

here is the second pull..
