Grand Am sporting a fart can, KILLED 'em

**Quicksilver_GP** · 04-01-2008

Okay, I know this isn't W body related but I felt so sickened that I had to vent my frustrations. So I'm driving down the same road I take to work everyday, and needless to say there's a few straight stretches along the way that would make this road seem more like a string of drag lanes than a "road". Anyway, along the way to work I notice this red GA that has been driving like a jackass and provoking people to race him for the past mile and a half. And of course it's a riced out as can be, Cessna wing on the trunk, grapefruit-sized fart can for a muffler. And I swear to god I think this guy had one of those ghay turbo blow off sound emulators that you can buy off e-bay, cause he had this nasty whining noise going that sounded like a cross between a sick(needs repair sick, not cool sick) supercharger and a badly installed CAI. So I'm in my 02 3.1 GP SE with a CAI and flowmasters, I know my car is not badass and I don't pretend that it is. That's why I stay away from the track. But guys, this person disgraced the Pontiac name and everything it stands for as far as im concerned, I couldnt let this injustice stand. So I pull up beside him, and all it took was a look. He honks once, twice, and on the third honk I go WOT from a 40 mph dig. He sticks with my passenger front door until about 55 or 60 then I walked his ass, I dunno if he gave up or what but when I look again he's in my rearview and I'm doin 98 or so. I know 3.1 SEs are nothing to brag about but 3700-5500 RPMs with a CAI and exhaust, those things are nasty mean. And don't G/As have a 3400? Am I missing something...Oh well, barely modded wannabe Daytona GP=1
fart can ricer G/A=0

Nice Kill

**Quicksilver_GP** · 04-02-2008

Thanks Dave! Guess I kinda posted in the wrong section, too, huh? Ha, thanks for not doggin me fellas. Yea, it's not much with a 3100 but maybe someday when I can afford an L67 I'll be able to take on Camaros and the like and waste 'em like you guys do

**David99GTP** · 04-02-2008

Hey this board is a different atmosphere in a good way. You dont get stoned to death for a mistake or an opinion on here. That explains why for every one post someplace else I have 25 here to match LOL

**Quicksilver_GP** · 04-02-2008

yeah, this place is awesome! It's nice to actually feel welcomed and have your opinions appreciated rather than criticized. I mean, some of my friends wouldn't understand or appreciate the glory of owning a GP or the pride in wasting another car on the highway that costs twice as much as yours. To them it's just another car, but to us...we see all kindsa untapped potential. Hell, i bet even some of you guys' wives or girlfriends (or both

j/k) don't understand your affliction with your car or this forum for that matter....?

Nice kill. Some people need to have their ego crushed, although in his case I doubt it will help him.

Did anybody else notice that so far this whole thread has been red cars? I just thought it looked pretty cool when you scroll down.

Here, I'll jack up your Red car thing.

A kill is a kill, and sometimes, people just need to be put in their place (which is behind you)

**Quicksilver_GP** · 04-03-2008

"...which is behind you" I like that

**Sabrewings** · 04-04-2008

GA GTs have the 3400. It's an option on the other GAs, with the base engine being a 2.2L (or 2.0L depending on year, I think) ecotec 4-cylinder.

Yea I got a 3.1 there nothing really special but like you said from 3700-5500 RPM they are nasty mean they pull like crazy. Mines pretty modded pulls pretty good against some Mustangs and other things. Way to represent the GP name nice kill!!
