Ok, like I mentioned about 3 pages ago, what the hell can be done to the N* to get it back up in performance to match an SSEi, GTO, or 300C? Let'* help these boys tap the power and put it on the street.

i see where you're coming from... but id but an srt8 and still be faster... :P
but its still a 300

much rather have the GTO. BUT I would rather have a car that noone has like the GXP rather than a 300 where eveyone and the brother, mother, and sister has the 300

i dont know guys, riding in one (didn't drive) with my brother when he was looking for cars was awsome. the overall quality fully exceded that of my car or the ultra he bought instead. i honestly felt like a semi baller in that thing

Both the 2005 GTO and the SRT8 run pretty damn close in the 1/4.
I hate the look of the SRT8...... ugly.... give me the GTO.

Still kinda sad that' Chrysler'* luxury sedan is as fast (or faster) then Ponitac'* muscle car. :(

Northstar performance? Higher octane fuel and higher timing. I don't know how conservative the cams/heads are on the N/A Northstar either, but i'm sure work can be done there. Higher redline (could help alot), etc.

EDIT: there'* always the new 4.4 Supercharged northstar. maybe heads/parts could be swapped? That'd be a fun one under the GXP hood...
