Cheapest power Fullsize i/c and run as smallest of a pulley as possible and you will need to tune for sure.

tranny/motor are very strong. the 3.8 is a very reliable motor and they actually have a 4t65eHD trans. much better than the crappy 4X60e in most other gm vehicles.

since when is the trans very strong? thats the weakest link of a GP IMO.... and top the OP plz excuse the douchebags on here.

another pro is that if you have a leather interior your set. for the past month I thought about selling my car but what really changed my mind was the night I had to sleep in it (dont ask)
its quite possibly the most comfortable interior ive ever been in. the car retains heat too so I was warm all night. and there were three of us in the car! lots of room+comfy seats = epic win.
oh and having a sleeper is bad ass

u might forget about the neon... these cars are fun, and can made pretty fast for cheap.
Click to expand...


Yeah will see. I already ran a 12.3 with the neon and i have a better set up now. Hoping for low 11's. Waiting on the track to open:th_depressed:....

Is there a lot needed to get the GTP into the 11's?
 
seriously, i know some have had trans problems, but with 217k miles i've never had any, even with mods, i swear this mutha better not start f'in up on me now!
