    as some of you know I was looking for a GTP and was pretty dissapointed in the few I looked at in my area. After looking at one that had alot of issues for 4,000, I finally decided to check one out that was pretty close to my house. The craigslist add made it sound like a complete pos that was ready for the scrap yard... it was up there for a while. started at 2500 obo, then 2000, and when I responded to the add it was 1800 obo.

    When I got there I was suprised to find that the interior was pretty clean, newer tires, new brakes and a mostly stock car other than the led taillights. I offered 1400 and she accepted. I was pretty stoked.

    I already ordered a few things. nothing too exciting other than the hud gauge pod, boost gauge and a aeroforce gauge.


    the pictures i just took. I havent had the time to mess with it much... after i dropped it off at where I am gonna store it for a few weeks i took the taillights off and tinted them slightly. btw, if anyone wants to trade stock taillights for these niteshadded led tails, lmk!

    thanks! planning on the typical mods that most people do. just did the home made intake that I stole from your thread. eventually I will do the headers, pully, ported stock supercharger and a tune. Im guessing ill need injectors as well. hopefully that stuff will be done in the next few months

    absolutely NOT.

    Get some headers and try a 3.6, maybe a 3.5

    I guarantee your car knocks 3-5* stock as it is.

    3.4 on U bend delete only would prob put you at 8*+ timing retard (knock) and you'd be slower than stock.

    I'd recommend at least a Valvetrain mod (Rockers/Springs), Headers, and a tune for a serious 3.4 setup.
