I drove a guy that I used to work with's GTP. It was on some back roads outside of London, ON. Pretty nice car; the heads up display is sweet, lots of power, but its still a pig compared to my civic. And only the driver's side seat was heated, WTF is that? I wouldn't want my girl's booty to get cold in the winter.

They're nice, but i would never buy one.

I love the way mustangs and camaros feel. They feel substantial and demand respect from the driver. Not every mook can drive those things competently. I nearly lost one in a sick orgy of a sharp corner, lots of gas, tire smoke, and gobs of torque. I had my hands full, lemme tell you that. Fun per dollar factor is extremely high in these vehicles.

GTO is a very nice car, have had the chance to sit and test them out a few times earlier this year. What more can you want, LS1, RWD and 6spd in a Grand Prix sized car! For you guys, its like dropping a H22 in a '91 Hatch

i did that with mine and there was a noticable difference
also had the custom intake, and the tranny shiftkit

aftermarket parts are expensive for this car i beileve it was like a grand for the headers U.S dollers
yep a pulley was put on, started the downsizin to a 3.4, then now its a 3'inch pulley..

Heres a quick list of some mods
P&P S/C
P&P LS1 Throttle body with maf (w/ custom adaptor plate)
TOG headers
Custom Exhaust
FWI (custom made fenderwall intake)
1.9 Rockers
Some tranny work
DHP (Custom tuned thou)
42.5lbs injectors (i think they are 42.5 its something close)

U guys may think i just sayin custom cuz they are like no name parts or something, they have actually be made by himself.
its just that we own a garage and hey when theres nothing to do, work on ur own...

He is runnin his times without an Intercooler, Nos or Cam
soon he will be come in the top 3 for fastest GP in ontario Quebec
right now he is 6th, but his new engine awaits..

You know what? They listened and now (actually with the 2004 models), the passeneger side seat gets heating as well.

Sorry for picking on an old thread, but you could guess I'm driving one.
