My '00 WJ has 300k miles & counting, bubba.ZZP has a modified 3800 Grand Prix that will run the 1/4 mile in something stupid like 8 seconds. You can make these cars plenty fast, VERY easy. And they handle pretty well for what they are. Most importantly: they're pretty **** reliable. We have ClubGP members who have their original engines with 250K+ miles with nothing but oil changes. They will definitely outlive most cars...certainly Jeeps *cough* And for the record, 4 door grand prixs weigh about 3400 lbs.
Bump for a great car. Good luck with the sale.
If you have the money to buy a Z06 modding price is no issue. Price has othing to do with anything. I can buy a '69 Nova shell for a grand, put $10k in it & run 9sec 1/4 miles.I think you are getting off subject. Your seriously comparing a zo6 corvette to a grand prix gtx. For a grocery getter, its pretty quick. With the price you pay for the z06 you can make a prix run faster. Even with it being a fwd on the drag strip. 3800's are pretty solid motors. Fast don't only apply to the drag strip by the way.
so........this thread is still 5 years old
no it isn't //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gifI agree though, comparing a grand prix to a vette is quite stupid:fyi:
for its class, no its not. Everything in this world when being compared is put into a class, cars are no different, and for a 4000lb 4 dr car its fast. for a two door coupe a vette is fast.no it isn't //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
saying a grand prix is fast is stupid
fastest car I've rode in was a Lotus turning high 7 sec 1/4 miles.Price has nothing to do with anything but you where comparing a corvette to a prix. To him a prix may be fast, but that may have been the fastest car they have been in. Once you're in a drag car, everything seems slow. I have an 87 firebird with a 406, shaved and worked dart heads, KB flat tops, 495/502, N/A and not on the bottle. Fastest I've ever went was 7.19 in the 1/8th. You may even say thats slow. To me, thats fast, because its the quickest I have went.
BTW, Like your avatar -01limited-, lol

My dads boss owns part of the Lotus race team. Having seen some of the **** they do with those cars, they ain't no joke.everyone knows lotus's are jokes, drive a real car.
Best poast in thread...................Thank god Pontiac is history. I cant believe people still waste money on modding Grand Prix's. They are a nice daily driver at best.
