A buddy and I just got back from a local car show another town away. we were just shootin a breeze at night fall when we decided to go to the local casey's for a pop. We just pulled in when this kid and his friend pulled out in like a '99 or 2000 Grand Prix. He floors and yelled some crap to me. My buddy looked at me and said "he just called you out, you going to let that happen?" i told him "hell no, we can get pop later." we met up at a light shortly there after and the guy looks at me and reevs his engine, i looked over and just smiled. i brake boosted left in second, i got the jump and took 5 lengths. he turned off couldn't face me like a man.

I guess we'll give you credit for a kill but you don't get many points for it. I have a 99 supercharged Grand Prix and it doesn't come close (literally) to running the GN. The front wheel drive and wimpy supercharger don't help the Pontiac very much :smile:.

was it even a GTP? even those are MAYBE high 14 second cars IF they have a good driver. no contest even for a stock turbo buick.
i also have a regal GS, which is the same thing as the GTP only a buick. its an awesome daily driver, but even with the mods i know it wouldn't stand a chance to a real regal!

A win is a win. Way to stick it to the punk kids. I had a lightning huff at me the other day, so I figured I would bite and take the long way to the hardware store. All in all just a stock lighting that some kid had borrowed from his dad and he had 'BUS LENGTHS' on him!!!! Still fun to stretch the GN's legs abit and show who was boss.

I say these days a kill is a kill!! You just don't know what your going up against anymore.... Hell someone just posted a mini van that ran 11's.... Back when I had my 86' GN in the early 90's it only ran very high 13's almost stock and I tore up everything I went against with the exception of only 2 races. Today I would be lucky to win 2 races with a car that slow!!!
that's true, you never know. there are FWD grand prixs with turbo kits that could give even a modded turbo buick a good run.

I'm not a fan of GTP's but theres a member on this board "my1stgn" that has a white one- It runs 12's (the license plate even says so)
Never under estimate anything on the street because you never know... I keep my GN debadged but it doesn't help. No one will even look my way:biggrin: I need a "grandpa" colored TR so that I can have some fun...Black scares them all away.

Thats funny right there. I had a pair of teenagers driving daddy's Roush Mustang give me the eyeball when I was out in the GN earlier today. They turned off at the light so no action for them. I was low on alchy so I couldnt have done much anyway.
Here is Michigan it's usually called "pop", if you say soda they look at you like you're weird and not everything is a Coke either.
Also there's a shop locally called zzp performance and those Grand Prix's run low 12's - 11's with turbos and supercharges so you never know.

Yeah I feel you I had a new vette do a ricer flyby on me after I baited him 3 times. He got at least a car length on me before I rolled into the throttle. The next light was red so instead of maning up and taking a run from a stop he turned onto a sidestreet. Guess he was afraid that his brand new 50 grand vette would get its feelings hurt by the old 7 grand buick.
Just got done searching my old computer and cannot find the old video I had saved of some guy who was WAY into the little Chrysler's and he made them little 2.3 turbos run hard. Had a little K car and a mini van that both ran low 11's. I had heard he died later but cannot find anything on that. This must have been around 1997 or so when I saw these vids and the cars sounded dead stock.
Nice kill. I see Missouri is not the only state with Casey general stores. And yeah in Indiana we called it "pop" but in NC we called it "soda". I try not to call it pop these days. Why anyone would refer to all sodas as "Coke" is beyond me.
Been there and done that!
I had a 97GS 3.25 pulley, PCM upgrade, full 3inch exhaust, cold air etc. and was running 13.80's. It pulled 237 FWP on the dyno. So it could outrun a stock GN but a modded GN not a chance. Of course the stock tranny didn't last long heheheheheheheheSimilar threads
