this is a smack in the face

danlon3.8 · 05-22-2008, 12:34 PM

ok guys so i was driving home late last night when this lil pontiac grand prix pulled up next to me. the light turned green and it took off real fast then slowed down just kinda toying w me. so i was in like 4th gear and started to speed up past the car.... every time i started to pass it, it took off and smoked my ass!!

a damn grand prix!! thats not sposed to happen! then just to make things worse it turned out to be a chick driving it, i was floorin it and could not keep up WTF??!! maybe i just dont know how to drive a stick haha i didnt want to down shift back into fourth gear at 60 miles per hour though. whats the first best mod i can make to my car to make it accelerate faster....maybe 3.73 gears?

cant believe i got smoked by a girl in a grand prix!!

i can some of thouse cars have more hp then the v6 mustang. get 3.73s and if you really want your gears to go by fast get 4.10s.

danlon3.8 · 05-22-2008, 01:04 PM

yea she had duel exhaust two pipes on each side i thought maybe she had something under the hood. can my car handle 4.10s? some one told me they would slip... what about the SCT tuner? are they worth the 500 that AM charges?

the 4.10s wont slip if there installed right, get a t-loc get the SCT tuner to.

some of those cars? ha, cars with less hp then us will beat us, it is a sad and unfortunate truth we must accept!

and danlon3.8 no a supercharger would not blow your car. I don't know where you are getting your info about gears slipping, or superchargers exploding, but you have some serious reading to do. Recently a guy built a 4.3, turbo, 16~psi and put down 600rwhp, the V6 can built to your hearts desire, just remember to go fast it is going to take money!

www.vmptuning.com sells a procharger with everything you need plus a tune to get your car safely running the supercharger for $4,500. You'll be a lot faster than shitty grand prix's..probably faster than mustang GTs too. lol

FlawlessEnvy · 05-22-2008, 02:18 PM

danlon, at 60 miles per hour you could easily have gone down to 4th gear and stayed in it to about 80 miles per hour then fifth. 5th gear is more like a cruise control, its not really used for racing at 60 miles per hour, im at like 1.5k rpm in fifth at 60. and at 3.8 rpm at 80 miles per hour in 4th.

danlon3.8 · 05-22-2008, 02:22 PM

yea this is the first car that ive had that is a stick so i wasnt sure if i would screw somethin up. haha but man i would love to put a turbo or a super charger in it, do any of you have that set up?

Well I'm sure it makes the car faster than a GT but they neglected to post any dyno charts or numbers gained off the motor, but since it's VMP tuning and they know their shit, I'm sure it is faster.

The m112 makes a v6 a lot faster than a gt, on the other hand, and for less $$

If you were racing in fifth gear even a honda would embarrass you. You should have been in like second or third gear.

hahaha yea but we were already goin down the road when she started pushin it. i should have down shifted. i know i can get off the line pretty quick tho.. ok so what about a v6 pontiac trans am do you think i could hang with that? my buddy has one and wants to race

Codiddy · 05-22-2008, 02:37 PM

sounds like you might just need some more experience driving a stick shift. do it long enough and you won't even have to think about the downshift, cause you'll already have done it.

Edit: however a set of 4.10's will definitely give fifth gear (as well as all the others) more grunt

danlon3.8 · 05-22-2008, 02:41 PM

yea true that.
