Grand Prix GT vs Thunderbird LX V8
Friday night, in a "hick town." Anyways, we went to the local gas station, where everyone hangs out. We met a couple of people we knew.. as soon as we got there, a cop rolled up, so we took the back way to the supermarket parking lot, where we did some donuts.. after about 30mins, we head back down to the gas station, hoping the cop is gone.....
On the way back, we hit a red light, me and one our friends friend is lined up with us, in his newer (pre 04 i think) Grand Prix GT 4-door. (NOT GTP). Light turns green, and we both gun it... he chirps his tires, while mine accelerates as slow as crap... by the next redlight, or at around 60-70mph, he hadover 2 car lengths on me...
After that, we head to the autozone parking lot, where I did some drifts in my 4000lb Thunderbird, and whipped some crazy donuts...
Now, I've beaten a Comp G GTP.. so I dunno what happened here...lol
good times. Cant wait to get the SC on the road..

Yeah and some are rated at 200hp. Also grandprix from 97+ had a genII root blower, they used the genIII(97-03) and the genV(04-08). The ford supercoupe may have used the Eaton GenII. That is what I am asking.
BTW I know a little about the 3800.
Did you not see this?

Re: Grand Prix GT vs Thunderbird LX V8
if you're thinking I raced him in my Supercharged Thunderbird, I wasnt, I still have to drive around the LX, which has the 4.6L V8, and is rated at 205hp stock. The SC need some work before its driveable..
And, it wasnt a GTP Grand Prix, so it had the regular 3800 II N/A
PS, I'm not sure what gen. blower the SC has..

Re: Grand Prix GT vs Thunderbird LX V8
Nope. The LX's only came with an automatic. The worse Automatc, EVER. A 4R70W (pre 94's got the AODE)...
Trust me, M-Ville is a hick town. (where I live)
