I'm going to do the intake, exhaust (cat and muffler) and replace that pesky U-bend. and maybe add a silver trim kit inside.

Listen, there is a TURBO kit that came out for the L36 not to long ago. With a few other mods, you could be running 12'* with that turbo. The turbo itself is around $3900+ $1000 in supporting mods. Well, if the tranny blows, then $2500-3000 in supporting mods then you'll have a nice 12 sec machine.

I very well could be wrong, but I remember reading an article about "lady'* rides" and one woman had a black 99 GP 4 door. at the time she held the 1/4 record of any N/A GP.
Maybe she had dropped a couple of grand in her ride, but it didn't sound like major work.

Sorry about that. I just took a ballpark guess on the weight. I just deduced that the L67 had some problems cuz I read many times that people said... oh never mind, I probably didn't read enough to make a observation. I'm sure every kind of engine has its problems. For example mine when I apply gas and it won't move like it should, it kinda feels like it'* in N then after a few seconds it moves. I know this kind of statement should be in the engine section but I'm using mine as an example. Yes, the Bonnevilles has that "character" that I find awesome. The "character" to me is that Big Bertha (my car name) can be docile but will be fericous when it'* speeding away from a pesky ricer or a stoplight or merging into congested traffic. It'* like Big Bertha has double personalities, one for everyday and one for when high speed calls.

Fanastic! A turbo kit you say? That definitely sounds interesting. VERY interesting. 1999 Pontiac Bonneville SETurbo. It works, catchy yet subtle. I'll have to wait to see if Jack finds a link to that article if not, I'll look for that turbo kit.
