Well, first were beating Lightning's with your GTP, now were up to
"1FASTSVT - well, let me borrow a friend of mine's '00 WS6 TA - OK? It'll run circles around your Rustang! BTW - he's not stock either and he already has slip'd into the 12's. Are we on?"
Troll, troll, troll your boat, gently down the stream.....................merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.....where if our car's not fast enough to back up our mouth, we'll just borrow a faster car !! I know I'm impressed..............not.

You are all entitled to your opinions, and from what I've read, such as the comment about me having a manual tranny, it makes me laugh out loud!!!! You guys have your heads in your exhaust outlets or something!! Hey - I raced a Lightning to 70, where I was up by 1/2 car. He may have passed me at 80, 90. Who knows. Yes, stock-vs-stock, a Lightning should take a GTP. However, the pulley swap mod is a big one for the GTP which unleashes quite a bit of HP.

Hey GTP...
What's up. That's My L in the pic with the hot tub strapped in the back. How about this...since you now want to borrow your freinds WS6, I'll run you with my Saleen. Or even better...I'll run you in your OWN car, and I'll take my Saleen...tow it with my L...and I'll even throw the hot tub into the back of the bed...and I'll still be waiting for you at the finish line.
all in good fun of course

I think the reason why the comment was made about the GTP having a manual tranny, is because a lot of people (including myself)just assume that it's an option, being a special edition GP.
But Pontiac (thppt!) is too brainless to realize that a manual tranny SHOULD be an option with that car...

TimBurnTire - whereabouts in Ft. Laud do you live? It is one of my favorite vacation destinations - sort of a second home town. We, the wife and I, used to come down annually for the Bills/Fish game in October or November, sometimes in December. Now with the kids, have not been down in about 3 years. The beach off A1A, The pier at Commercial Blvd, Pelican Bar, a cruise up to Boca, Pompano Park gambling on the ponies, the Crab Shack (by the airport?)....ahhhh the good ole days...

GTP---When I said manual trans, that is because you stated "I grabbed first" and I took this to meant first gear. I see now that you meant traction, I am big enough to admit that I was wrong, still you are quite a master at storytelling as I further read your posts.
Good luck in your new writing career.

I remember smacking a modified GTP around town w/myself only having PSP filter installed. He kept up pretty well...for the first second. It was a joke and I felt bad for deflating his ego, now I don't feel so bad about it.
HEY! I had a C5 up to 30 in my Wrangler by 3/4 of a car,"I grabed first", then by 32 we were door to door,then by 35 he was starting to pull on me so I shut her down
That's a win right?!? LOL
Just as a side note,that little crack about running an L w/ your Durango...LOL My sides hurt after reading that! Not even a Shelby Durango would be close! LOL Man you should take your little comedy act on the road! It's some funny stuff! LOL...GTP! ROTFLMAO
Durango?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! TOO FUNNY!

hey GTP_Rules
you need to stop messin with these lightening guys, you need to realize(as i did) that your grand prix is slow, you were just lucky enough to race one of the few un-modified lightnings out there. And your darn durango couldnt even beat my car and thats just sad. I think im just a ford guy cooped up in a pontiac.
