GTP doors anyone?

Well I had another race yesterday in the VR4. Firstly, I wasn't going to kick it down at all because of the driveshaft being screwed, but my girlfriend had just broken up with me and I was in a very bad mood, so when this Grand Prix started screwing with me, I decided to go. He kept tailing me, so I accelerated in 5th up to about 85 or 90mph, and he was right on my tail. Finally, I pulled in the right lane, waited for him to give it, and then I dropped into 3rd and floored it. I noticed right off that I wasn't losing this guy, and when I went into 4th, he was probably 4 or 5 cars back. All in all, we went to about 130, and he had stayed there pretty good, I was surprised (although my car is working like crap anyway). He pulled up beside me when he was existing, and I saw the GTP badge on the door, explaining why it was quick. It was a 97-01 model. They have some decent grunt for a family car. So that's my story.

Cliff notes:
I beat a GTP
I'm single :crying:

aww dont worry, theirs pleanty of fish in the sea. Those GTPS are quick man, so many people underestimate them. Low 15 seconds stock and a pulley can put them in the high 13's.

Now that you no longer have a girlfriend you can use the money that you save to fix the VR4

^^ I couldn't agree more ^^

Nice kill btw...

Haha, except ALL the money is gone now. Oh well. Thanks for the replies.

are you serious? one pulley takes 1.2 seconds off of your time
you got some proof to back that up, or is that just what you heard?

not calling you a liar, its just sorta hard to beleive

nice kill bro. get that drive shaft fixed though, nasty things can happen you know.

Youngvr4..I believe it just because a $200 pulley will take an 03/04 cobra from mid 12s to mid/high 11s.

thats crazy

It's pretty much like putting a manual boost controller on a turbo car and raising the boost.

exept a b/c doesnt drop your time by 1.2 unless you got other work done to it

Well yeah, but I mean the idea of the two are similar.

Ya I saw a '04 Cobra on Hores Power TV and it had 364rwhp stock with a hyperchips programer and SC pulley brought it up to 427rwhp for a meir $600.:eek:

Nice kill and don't worry about your girl.:smile:

Mm, 03/04 cobras.

I saw that episode, couldn't believe the programmer and pulley made that much of a difference, and it cost them hardly anything.

enjoy your freedom because when another girl latches on, you might as well be in chains again

yeah the corbas are freckin beasts. Hell they had a tt kit in one with 800 hp with stock internals! but if u swap to a 2.8 (belive thats the size) pulley and run around 15 psi of boost it will run 11s. but thats the limit for that blower it cant handle more boost then that. i posted awhile back with the dyno sheets and all the info to prove the diff or a supercharger and turbo so if u read it then urll pry remeber those results.

Gj though man. They are quick one beat me he had a pulley swap though but i still lost by a fender length :(

yeah, i talked to a guy at the track one time with a buick regal supercharged (same engine and supercharger). he was running high 13s with only a pulley swap. The superchargers they use on factory cars are very overpowered, but weakened. The Eaton m90 supercharger they use on GTPS are good for alot more HP, but they only makes 240 HP from the factory. Combine that with low compression pistons and forged internals. Its a car just screaming for a pulley upgrade.
