I know a guy with a 98 SSEi and he ran a 15.4 with a half of a tank of racing fuel, and nothing else.

The fenders are fiberglass.
Ok, the # on the side of my door says like 3500lbs, and you're saying subtract 1000lbs from that? so that leaves me with 2500lbs? that dosn't seem right...
As for 95 stat times being BULL think again because my '95 will keep right up there with my uncle'* 2001 Grand Prix GTP...which has stock times listed in low 15s as well. I don't have any mods on mine. SPEED no offense or anything but it sounds like you have a lemon...either that or i've got a factory freak...

No, mine does go fast but Iv never tested it and it sure doesn’t feel like the 7.1 0-60. I played with the front fenders and mine really flex and feel like plastic. Although I’m not willing to bet $314.70 to find out. I also have already blown one Tranny and this was do to pushing it too hard. I am sure with a new tranny in the waiting I would be glad to let it rip. ya mine says it weighs 4420-1000=3420.

Do you have an SE?? SSEis are heavier than the SEs. Edmunds lists the 1995 Bonnie @ 3446 lbs, and the SSEi as 3691...so about 200lbs difference.
I don't know...I have an idea that the person who owned the car before me might have chipped it, because it dosn't shut off when it'* supposed to (the speed limiter)
The 1990s were like 3376 lbs and had 165 hp, where as we have either 205 or 240...a considerable difference...

LOL yup well the writing is faded but, turning a 3-4 is very hard to do so I think it actually says 4. Now you know why I want 600hp. Ill check it out at the dealer.

however my 99 does shut offat that speed.
