A guy I work with had one of those, a 2004, he supercharged it, and was putting 500hp to the road. No traction. And nothing he could do about it. Couldn't add wider tires, sad when I can put 255s on my car, but he couldn't fit anything larger then 245s

Same here...actually am planning to get a GTO for the next car...OR a G8 GT...just love the bonne too much to give her up...however The G/F tells me once we are hitched I can sell her 2008 Sonata since she loves my car and will drive it, and I can get whatever I want.

lol...seems to me shes tryin to speed things along

I've heard they have traction problems. Most of them I see at the track chirp the tires in every gear.

He should have done more research then...lots of guys running 275's on there GTO's... some with just rolling the fender lip even I think...just takes some slight modifications ;)


But ya...with 500 to the road...traction is gonna be hard to find with just about any tire lol

There is a black Procharged one here and the guy claims to have dyno'd at 725rwhp. Sounds mean

Some people don't listen. I suggest rolling the fender and changing the off set of the wheel. He insisted it can't be done. He then went to a smaller pulley on the SC after I told him not to.

Sounds like a smart guy..... :rolleyes:

Now he's planning to get a Grand Prix. Can you see my eyes rolling?

I would love a GTO also. Pretty sweet cars, any year, in my opinion.
