GTP vs. Another GTP

Lsick7

Tofu Delivery Boy
So i had a test today at school and I got done a little early and left after I turned it in, and I walk to my car and see a four door Silver Mist Grand Prix along the way in the parking lot. He was dropping off a girl I knew at her car and I checked his car out as I walked by to see if it was a GTP. I noticed tinted tails, different exhaust tips, no door badges, and glanced at the trunk and saw the supercharged script lettering, so I knew it was game.:th_biggrin2:

So i hurry my way to my car across the lot because I see him leaving and I leave, and he pulls out right behind me at the next exit from school. So by this time I was excited to see another modded GTP and it sounded awesome too. He got behind me at a light and did a little rev and I heard how loud his blower was, and again, i knew he was game. I looked at my gas gauge and frowned, but it didn't stop me. I gave a quick rev back, and we proceeded onto an onramp onto 152.

We both got on the highway and had a bit of open road so he gunned it and I did a sec later and I hung with him. And whaddya know the light at the next stop light just turned red and we both were on the front line. (side note, he had a ram air hood and tinted headlights too that looked sexy). I roll down my window and ask him what he's got. A quick chat and we exchanged mod lists as quick as we could. His is 3.25"d with an SS i/c and supporting mods, (he only had a plog, which kind of blew my mind). Either way I told him I had a 3.4" system with supporting mods. (mods in sig). He also said he had a built tranny.

So we look around and a cop is beside us in the left turning lane and he turns and we have open highway. Light turns green and I eased into with it in first then waited for the chirp and threw it into drive and let the car do the rest. He spun and stayed with me for a sec, then all i saw was a bumper behind me!:th_thumbsup-wink: I had him by 2-3 lengths all the way to 90. Then I slowed down and we got beside eachother at about 60, and we didn't honk he just decided to gun it, and I did a sec later and would have passed him had he not cut me off because we had hit traffic.

So we roll into a city and again get a stoplight in our favor. I again beat him all the way to 60 because I had to let off. And he gets beside me, and says, man who did your tune?!?! I said a guy in Excelsior, and he goes "mines not tuned... I have a ZZP PCM with 3.4 settings...." And i'm like:eek: to myself.

Either way, I hope he gets it tuned, and I hope he has 0 knock. I'm not real sure why my car beat him, but I'm also not sure what all other he has done beside i/c, exhaust, pulley, intake, and trans. But, I thought it was a great kill and want to do it again sometime!!

Cool story man. Just wondering? Do you like your exhaust? And what does he have exhaust wise

Thanks, I love my exhaust. It's really deep and sounds amazing with headers. Mine does have a leak on the headers(plan on fixing) and can get annoying, but other than that I love it. Nice low rumble, and little rasp.(would be even less if I had a res and/or a cat)

His exhaust, i'm not sure. I have class again tomorrow and hopefully he'll find me or I'll find him. It sounded to me like flowmaster 40's, which on the right setup sound sexy also.
 
Oh what headers do you have? And cool I think I'm pretty set on an slp, and most flowmasters sound like someone flicking the inside of a tin can...too empty from what I heard but never heard it in person but ya ask him for me if you can
 
Oh I just read your sig, how much did you buy them for?

I got the headers for $350 shipped on ssautochrome.com and I got the cat-back for....well lol, $570 from slp, a bit pricey but i wouldn't trade it for the world. :th_biggrin2:

I'll ask him if I see him again.

Check out my vid and skip to about 3:05 sec to hear the exhaust. Mind you this was before I got headers, so it's a bit raspy, but the idle is smooth as silk.

nice story dude. and thanks for the vid. only reason i havent done my mods yet is cuz i can't deside on headers/exhaust which needs to be done first. i was gonna do slp headers, borla exhaust but i dont want a ****ty sounding car
 
I love the Ram Air hoods...especially the SD...which is the one that guy he raced has. Plus...he's got more than a PLOG Clint...he has the original hogged out manifolds off of my car from back in the day, Front and Rear, a 3" Catless DP/U-Bend Del. with a 3" exhaust all the way back.
 
eh... i think i'd rather go with like a 4-gen camaro style. either with the two slits near the windsheild or the one scoop in the middle

Ha, he lied to me then, lol, he said plog but we didn't have much time to talk either. Oh yea by the way, that belt you put on for me is squeelin like a stuck pig, any suggestions?

It is? Well...it is made for a 3.25" :th_laugh-lol2::th_laugh-lol2: I say try taking it off and rubbing it with soap.

Yea, or I could just do more mods and drop to the size it's meant for... (good excuse for the lady:th_laugh-lol3:) I figured it is just because it's a tight son of a gun, but on a higher note throttle response went up a bit:th_thumbsup-wink:, just sounds like a clunker when idlin by LOL.
