• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

My first kill? :D







ive owned a GT and a GTP and the GTs are not as slow as people who have never owned one portray them to be, GTs have more than enough power for a DD...BUT it is not a racecar, decently modded GTs are about as fast as a stock GTP

i agree.. a mod even messaged me on the power i could easily get with a gt without a top swap..

"If you have emissions testing...I would go with the PLOG and a 3" Catted Downpipe from ZZPerformance instead...it'd be pretty close either way...but the headers flow better at the top of the rev range.

To add, I'd get in contact with Will @ Overkill for a tuned PCM. I'd also do a set of AL606 plugs gapped at .050", a set of MSD or PRJ Plug Wires, get a 180* T-Stat, yank off the throttle body and clean it...and toss a cone filter on the end of the MAF sensor...you can get a big 9" cone from your local autoparts store...or online.

If you want more than that...then I'd spring for the HV3...after that, if you're still looking for more...depending on your mechanic level or if you know someone...I'd then say...if your level of working on a car isn't that great...get a set of ZZP ER Rockers...I'd however spring for the ZZP GT2 cam, or one of the Abbott Racing N/A grinds...they are both stout cams. At that point you'd be making about 210-230 FWHP, which is around a small bolt-ons GTP or so. You would need stronger valve springs...and a new timing chain/dampner when you toss the cam in. I'd recommend Crow 105 springs...and then a re-tune probably with a Wideband and have Will do an in-car tune. "

They're slow. Trust me.

You feel a nice low end torque push from the shorter gears but GT's still "die" past 70mph. For a DD normal driver who never intends to pass a couple semi's in tandem it's fine, But please do not give people the impression that it is good for anything but DD duty.

It takes some stellar tuning and valvetrain/intake work for a GT to really get ahead of a stock GTP, When a top swap is cheaper than ever there's no excuse to accept substitutions.
 


Nixon, obviously you've never driven anything setup for a daily driver. Last car was a Volkswagen jetta and that thing was dirt slow. Stock 04 gt easily puts the smack down on that jetta and many other cars I encounter on the road. Just cuz your used to a modded car and a stock one feels slow to you doesn't mean it's slow. Try driving a 95 horse jetta tdi, you will pray and beg for a stock gt. nice kill btw, regardless of the wagon.

I've driven a Prius as a daily driver, son.

BAM!
