holy crap its been a while since ive been here
Just wanted to say hello i did a search n it seems that my knowledge is still helping ppl thats kinda cool..... Well the Trans Am'* sold needed a better daily and a 11 sec 4k stalled car wasnt a great daily so i bought a 05 gtp comp g off the showroom. Kinda regret not geting the cadddy cts but ohh well in 2 years ill be trading it again on the cts v i miss RWD v8'* but its nice to have a reliable car for now.
mods so far after a couple months are
new front air dam
pulley system 3.8 3.4 3.25
1.8 Roller Rockers
3 inch D/P
Ported exhaust manifolds
DHP power tuner as soon as they fix some bugs
n some other crap ya know the usuall CAI / plugs / exhaust tips
running mid 13'* b4 the rockers n computer so itll be interesting to see if i can squeek 12'* w/ some traction but if it doesnt ohh well
hope all is well in the forum its nice to see its still around !!!!

apperance it needs the front bumper piece which is what i added
power is smooth and decent esp w/ a smaller pulley
and with the 05 it can manage fuel n timming alot better than the older models wsp with the gen 5 blower i was seeing only 3-4 kr w/ a cai and a 3.4 pulley !! alot less than most ppl also u can run 87 oct if u want i run 89 with no kr unless i drop the pulley size
interior is alot better than the older models firm seats decent amount of room but not as much as i had hoped in the back seat area
but the rear doors open 85% so you can fit a big TV in there with ease vs the bonny rear doors only opening like 65 % ?
the whole back seat folds down as well
overall the car is very practical which is why i bought it
needed a daily i could mod so its semi quick and i can haul a bunch of **** in it. also i never worry about haters fing up my car cause it looks like every other grocery getter out there
