If you don't know what you have don't flaunt it
 
On my GP site one of the members had this
"well i just got home from the girlfriend's place.. and i jump on the computer real quick to check my messages and more than likely go to bed. well i always have my Aol Instant Messenger up and i got a message from some random dude. has a white 96 Z28 and he says his car is super cool, louder than mine, and is fast! He sends me the link to his car and it says its pushen 385 to the crank... I have about 625 to the Crank from what ZZP said.. so now he starts jumpen in by saying the V8 is the best.. and the 3.8 is the ****tiest motor, needs the supercharger just to run and you wish you had a turbo on there cuz there better... then i stop him and say the 3.8 is just about the strongest V6 around, and that I do have a turbo instead of the blower. he states oh, well let me put a turbo on my car and we will be even. So i stated, so you need a turbo v8 to beat my turbo v6? I start to laugh here.. cuz now his story starts to change. Well i wouldnt buy a turbo cuz that cheap, how bout motor to motor, also hes starting to get into a convo about racing when he stated earlier in the convo that he doesnt... but all of a sudden he wants to show me up. He also got really defensive when i called his camaro an average white z28 i see almost all the time. That was pretty much the whole story, then i just couldnt stand his stupidity any more and got off. SO the 3.8 is ****? Needs a supercharger to run? cuz apparently there are no 97-05 Grand Prix GT's... I can see Some GTP's sound like ass with exhaust.. but stay N/A or drop a turbo on there and enjoy! well im done rambling on about this.. just thought i share this with fellow Grand Prixers.

oh yeah, heres his almighty camaro.

He says he makes 385 HP with the few mods he has not bad 100 hp from an intake and jet chip

actually pretty close, the guy who built his motor is running 9s fwd and it's almost the same motor

98CamaroZ28 01-22-2008 12:30 AM

Bernotas05 01-23-2008 02:12 PM

an a talon typically needs more work to get to that point than a 3.8 turbo
