Oh, I know, I just dont see a Grand Prix being super duper fast. Yeh,
they dont weigh much and I bet they are pretty fast, but those magazines
have always said that camaros are 13.1 sec cars, and I have never seen it
on any of my trips to the track. Maybe I am wrong, but I see 5.0 mustangs
that have plenty done to them running low 13's and they look stronger and
lighter to me. I know my buddy with a 5.0 takes LS1's all the time. Now
that said, I need to put some gears in my truck ect so that I can whoop up
on those GTP's too. Not going to do it like this!
