i live right by a place where a bunch of rich snobs live. they only have a 1.3L stock. however it is a twin rotor Wankel. not sure who i raced, but im pretty sure it was a rich one. they are small cars, but you cant fit a good engine in that small engine compartment. and here's a pic of my car \/ ohh, and this was takin at my friend's house. and it even suprized me i won. he had a rough time getting off the line. so i guess i wouldve lost had he have been able to accelerate quicker.

Wait, we are talking about the new RX-8 right... I can't believe they are only 1.3L. Very small but rotaries are said to have unmatched output by relativly small engines. So you raced a new one and won. I def. wouldn't stand a chance. My car is a bit above average speed wise, but in no way could i beat a new RX-8. The ooooold RX-7's maybe, but hell no to any newer than around mid 90's. What does ur's run the 1/4?

i run somewhere around 11's or 12's. its fast because of ll the money i spent on shit for it. not just looks. the dual borla exsaust actually did add hp (which suprised the shit outa me) new high hp air filter, light-weight material, 2 seats instead of 4 (yes, i ripped out the back seats and put a wall there. it extended my trunk about 2-3 feet though

) and other micellanious shit.

ShIt! I believe you because iv'e been on pages with members of Grand prix clubs runnin around what u are. Some Supercharged and some naturally aspired. That's awsome though, glad to see you figured out a way to lose some of the Prix's pounds. lol Never really considered taking out the seats, guess it's always an option though. 3,390 some pounds is alot for stock.

ya. i didnt fill in all of the back with the "extended trunk" because i needed to see out the back. right now i have a 2-seater grand prix with what looks like a box made out of plywood with carpet on it. but, then again, thats all it is

Now all you have to do is figure out a way to chop off the roof and you've got a two seat convertable.

haha. ya. i wish. im pretty sure it would look like crap. but then again, i might be able to turn my g/f's nissan into a convertable. that would be cool. hehe, where's my sawsall?

this is her truck next to my old one. mine is the red one, that i sold because the insurence was way too high. it had a 454 big block in it. it was fun in snow, but it hurt my wallet.

nice, i never actually thought that pickups were bad on insurance. always thought it was mostly exotics and luxery cars.

Lets keep on topic here, If you all want to talk about trucks, then chevy,ford,dodge,toyota have great threads about trucks.

grandprix92 · #27 03-11-2003, 05:27 AM

meh. whatever. so, no i dont think i want to chop it into a covertable. it would loose some major weight, but i dont think anyone that lives near here does a good job at that. i did the saet myself because it was really east. first, i unscrewed everything back there, ripped the seat out of the truc (there was no way in hell i was goin to be able to fit it out the side doors) and simply nailed some plywood to the new floor board thing i put in (also wood and not steel. saved more weight). then later carpeted the whole thing.

Scott, i started this thread, and obviously nobody really cares about the topic since it only got about three replies. So i rather talk about multiple topics if it could interest more people instead of leaving a thread dead since nobody cares about the initial topic. I go to threads where the subject changes ever 2 replies... check out the "ugliest car on the road" thread and you'll know what i mean. If someone wants to chime in again on what a GP could beat, be my guest

Grandprix92: do you race ur's at the track?

Ok if thats your sentiment. We will see what happens....Im just giving advice b/c I know what happens when things get off topic. I been here long enough to know and so have you.

pontiactrac · #30 03-11-2003, 01:30 PM

...What about an eclipse gt (newer style ones), has any GP owners raced one, or anyone who has a fairly good idea who would win. I think their quarter mile is relatively close? See Scott, the topic always comes back.
