Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

My 96 GTP 3.4L



You're on it aren't you Palm? I can name one Britney song from like 15 years ago and you can grab a link and post in 10 seconds.

Edit: OMG that song was awful. Can someone RickRoll me please?
 
Your car looks good now but just maybe..

That's fine. I don't like your paint job. Looks like one of the Cavalier Sports with racing stripes. We all have our opinions. I don't hold it against you as long as you don't hold it against me.

"If I said you had a nice body, would you hold it against me?"...sorry - random quotes...

3.4L DOHC + turbo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3.8L + turbo

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not all opinions are created equal. For example, you have selected the least popular GP out of the 3 gens of w-bodies, and to top it off, with ricer....err...."racing" stripes on it. It's hard to take the opinion of such a person seriously.

If they weren't so hard to find in good shape these days, I'd much rather take the aggressive body styling and cladding of the Gen 5 GPs (especially the TGPs/'91-'93 with the B4U package) vs. the cookie cutter, dime a dozen looking, shape/styleless Gen 6 or 7. I only bought my '01 GTP 6 or 7 years ago out of convenience (much easier to find one of those in good shape/lower miles than a Gen 5), and even then, I specifically looked for a Special Edition or 40th to try to add SOME kind of styling to the boring grocery getter looks of the '97+.

Also, until recent years, the LQ1 was the most powerful n/a V6 motor GM had made (215hp/220lb-ft tq in '96/'97). It wasn't until they started turning out DOHCs again and really concentrating their R&D on them that they finally beat the hp/tq of an engine they stopped making in '97. And they respond VERY nicely to turbos.


Not to mention they sound wicked at any RPM, unlike the horrid sounds the 3800 makes regardless of exhaust set up.

I think my car is gorgeous. It is hard to find a 5th generation around here that looks this nice. Most are rusted out, have crusty rims, and are 3.1's. I paid $1000 cash and my busted up Saturn for it (below)...I think I won.

Yeah like rare said the 3.4 loves turbos. If I had the money I would buy my friends z34 and fix it up, probably try and swap in the gp interior. The lumina interior is very bland.

Get used to it. When one person gets butt hurt a mod will tend to throw down the nazi ax. Other times they have a hard time just letting people have fun and just go with it.

As as far as Aeckers car is concerned its obvious he likes baby puke as a color. Then looks like he took that baby, let it s*** on his car, and dragged the baby's butt down the car to form hideous stripes. By far one of the ugliest 04+ I have seen on this site. But it's just my opinion so he shouldn't hold it against me.

So you are saying it has a skid mark. lol
Yeah, no one is going to tell me there's something wrong with my car and make me feel like it isn't good enough. I love it. It's only going to get better. I could go out right now and get a 2013...but I think I will pass and keep my baby.
