I know there is a button, and the button is basically for looks. You can turn it off and all it does is delay when the traction control kicks in. There is no easy way to disable the traction control if your car is equipped with it, you will basically have to remove all power to the traction control system before it will be disabled.

The Series 1 engines were different. My traction control WILL not activate if it is turned off. The GTP'* are a different beast than the bonneville in the first place. Anyways, Traction Control isn't a problem unless you continually break traction. If your not doing that, Traction Control isn't a problem.

The rattle in the Super charger is just coupler wear. It sounds sorta like a chatter. It'* apparent if your under the hood at idle. Sometimes you can hear it inside at idle. All the superchargers will get it eventually there is no getting around it. But it is easliy fixed. As for the blowers themselves. Keep the oil looking good and the blower should last the life of the car. Probably even longer than some other parts.

You can exspect 18mph in the city and 25ish on the highway. If you get a free flowing intake and better exhaust you'll increase that.

You are correct it doesn't activate (as far as I know) on a Series I, but a 96-99 SSEi is a series II.

Yup, you are completely right there, they are completely different cars, and really shouldn't be compared unless it is drivetrain stuff. But you can disable the traction control in a GTP, not in an SSEi.

That is absolutely correct, but when you are trying to go fast in a SSEi from a stop it is kinda hard not to spin the tires, especially a modded one.

A 4.7 liter V8 Bonnie in 2004??? Kewl. Front wheel drive? How do they fit that under the hood. I think it needs a blower tho....

GXP is RWD.

will'* right... the GXP is a V8 w/ RWD..... but the V6 models are front wheel drive right?

I just did a quick internet search and everything I see shows it as being a Front wheel drive car, using the 4T80-E transmission. Oh, and did I forget to say that I want one ?
