dont worry, you can have the peace of mind that her car will never be faster than yours.

That's where you'll learn the most about your fiance's car, so I'll move it there for you. BTW, welcome aboard!

Pretty bold statement. Doubt that GM will ever have 250 hp to the wheels.

250 to the wheels isn't that big of a deal for a GTP....check teh dyno page on this link:


http://rmcgp.clubgp.com


I'm last =( but that's only with $100 worth of mods, so 250 will be coming soon. Besides, our cars are all torque



BTW, can you list your mods. I just want to know how you made that much HP with a 2.2. My fiance's is freaking slow!!! I guess living in COS at over 6000ft above sea level doesn't help the power levels either though.

Altitude sucks!



And yes, I do have one of those little black round thingies on my car But its probably smaller than the ones shown.

dude, intresting you talk of that car. My parents were literally 30 seconds from buying that car for me last weekend. My dad works in a pretty high up position for GM and he gets a monster discount. They were going to buy me a 2002 gtp for like 18k, fully loaded. They went to the acura dealer right as they were there deciding to buy the gtp. They went acura, and brought me back a '99 3.0 CL. I actually dont know which one i would be happyer with, i think the GTP, but becuase its MY car, I have to pay for maintenance and the gtp just didn't have the reliability i was looking for.
