Cool Gee Tee Pee 8)

If it was mine, I would try to clean up the compressor install in the trunk.

Wow, that looks in really good shape. Gotta get some day shots of that.

SSsuperchargedEi 09-18-2004 12:17 PM

airbags on a gtp??? :duh:

willwren 09-18-2004 12:59 PM

Can I be constructively critical?

Exhaust-little or no gain if you kept the U-bend and stock cat.

Airbag hardware-adds weight, no performance. DETRACTS from performance.

Chrome rims- lose performance because of rotating mass. Lo-pro tires lose grip.

CAI and pulley add performance.

"3 steps forward, 2 steps back"

What's the goal here, and what's with the suspension?

killer_cr80r 09-18-2004 02:20 PM

DO these pics look really junky for everone else? This stupid aol thing that compresses graphics I thought I disabled it guess not

willwren 09-18-2004 02:24 PM

Pics look fine to me. That's the right size for posting.

I'm just curious what the goal here is. Is the pulley and CAI intended to make up for the loss of quickness the other mods do?

killer_cr80r 09-18-2004 02:24 PM

He wants to show the car more than racing the car but still wants to keep his edge on the performance part of view. There will be more performance mods and cosmetic mods.

killer_cr80r 09-18-2004 02:32 PM

He is into cosmetic and sound he loves the sound of the flowmasters and loves all the looks when he pops the back end way up in the air and lowers the front way down making it look like it should be like a RWD car everone loves it and complements him on it

Sol 09-18-2004 03:29 PM

I guess the CAI and pulley will help make up for the wheels and extra weight. It will still be fast.

no offense, but that looks pretty rigged

Trunk would have been better used for a nice audio system.
Pontiac designed the suspension like they did for a reason(for suttle upgrades).

This car is awsome and is going to be so amazing I cant w8t I'll keep ya all posted on the progress and 1/4 mile times :D
