Any GTP owners?

[capcity GTP]

BTW, the numers I listed are for stock GTPs out of the plant. No mods. Quite impressive. 6.5 sec 0-60. Not bad for a 4 door sedan.
I had an Intrepid R/T whose top speed was only a couple of miles per hour quicker but where can you go 148 mph? It all has to do with the tire rating. The car companies will limit the top end based on the equipped tire rating. If H rated tires are standard, the car is governed to 125. If S rated tires are standard, the speed will be higher.
Funny story. On the Intrepid forum, a guy from the Tampa area owned an Intrepid R/T Motorsport. Some interior decoratons, exterior decals and yellow writing (Goodyear) tires. He decided to race a camaro and at 120MPH, his limiter kicked in. He says wtf, I though R/ts don't have limiters. We told him to check the tires and sure enough, the Goodyears Chrysler puts on the Motorsports were not V Rated (S rated) SO he goes to the dealer to have the computer reprogrammed and they wouldn't do it. Against the law. So he'll have to wait until he needs new tires (V rated) and hopefully they will do it then, however I doubt it.

I prefer the quick start off the line in the GTP.

i was doing about 135 in my 98 running about 4000rpm until the ses light came on and lost power...dont know what the heck it was.. autozone scanned it and said it was missing but it ran perfectly fine after that. i could have kept on going tho if it wouldnt have messed up

[fast98gtp]

^^ that was racing a newer, loud-ass-turbo audi with nice rims on the interstate.. killed him!

If your car has the stock PCM the SES light might be related to a prolonged time running at a high speed. Cause the OEM tires are not rated for speeds above 140MPH and you know how automakers are about safety. It is the only thing I could think off. I am glad you smoked the Audi

He said is was missing. aka Misfire

Sounds like his plug(s) was fouling out at WOT which is not a good thing. I would replace plugs and wires after that happend

[kilroypr]

Ripn12s I tought he said that the code were missing not that the car was misfiring. Sorry for the language gap. If the car was misfiring could be the sparks, the cables or even the coils. Any of that

[Ripn12s]

If you feel a misfire or pull SES light for a misfire there are steps to take.

Scan the car and see what plug is missing 1-6
Replace plug.
If still missing, switch the problem plug's wire w/ another one and see if the misfire moves to the other plug. If so then replace wires.

Always start w/ the cheapest part.

You dont want to replace coils or wires before trying the actual plugs

[kilroypr]

Smart, that is cost efficient thinking...

[fast98gtp]

since iv had the car iv replaced the wires and coils--thinking i would get better performance(not noticable at least) from 8mm wires and hotter coils. recently i installed a colder autolite plug(605's)--and that was before the SES light came on. the car runs fine tho.. is there any way i can use an ohm meter to test the resistance of the coils to see if one is bad?

[Ripn12s]

Im no good when it comes to electrical things on these cars. Only thing I could suggest is to get a scanner and see what's going on.

605's are one heat range colder right??

Maybe you should go w/ the 104's, Ive have nothing but good luck w/ them.

[fast98gtp]

yeah, they're one range cooler and 104s are two i think. from what iv read im only supposed to use 605s(gapped at .054") since i have a 3.4" pulley. but i have actually thought about going to 104s. i guess it wouldnt hurt..may actually help out a bit. i dunno
