Re: What does HO stand for???

nothing. Theres no 3400 LO engine, so an HO version really cant exsist. Its just marketing. But if you look at the old Quads theres the LO which made 150hp then theres the HO's which made 180hp. the difference between the two is the HO has different pistons different head cams and computer tweaks compared to the LO quad

there is no such thing as a 3600. lol sorry GM just doesnt make one. but no the HO is not faster then a normal GT, b/c there is no normal GT. There is a GT without ram air and one with ram air. And the difference is about 5hp.

A 150-horsepower 2.4-liter twin-cam 16-valve 4-cylinder engine comes standard. An optional 170-horsepower 3.4-liter V6 offers substantially more power than last year's 3.1-liter V6. All Grand Ams come equipped with electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmissions.

HAHAHA Hey, I don't know the truth, or who's right but I think it's funny as hell when people get busted over stupid ish that they lie about on cars. I think it's hilarious. I got this Mischeif 3000 Racing DVD, and in the specials part, It's got this "Domestic Ricing" chapter, and it's this guy with this 2000 Mustang with GTR on the back where GT is supposed to be. But it looks exactly like the skyline logo. And the camera man is messing with him... and the guy said it stands for a special model they only made in 2000. And the guy was like "you got a turbo in there", and he said yeah "yeah" Then the guy asked him if it was rotary in there. And said "oh yeah", with "headers right?", "yeah yeah full exhaust". I was dying.

Yeah I got it on this DVD, and I don't know how to get it on the internet because I can't save it to my computer, or don't know how. But I got it burned on a cd-rw as data straight from the dvd to the disk, that worked but i dunno. Anyway WHERES THE PICTURE, LOL
