i would have to say no...

you have an old 5.0... they didn't put out taht much power then...

these new v6s that GM uses are peppy stock... so, with a turbo... the thing probably moves... (if its a newer grand prix)

Never herd of a Turbo Grandprix, you sure it's not the GTP one thats supercharged? If it's a GTP and has pulley upgrades......get a good look at his taillights up close before you run him!

I have only seen them with the roots type blower. I guess there could be a turbo kit out for them. I have had some good races with a couple of those, deceivingly fast p.o.s.'s.
What have you done to your 5.0? No offense but they are real dogs stock.

A win is a win. If he wanted to go from a roll then he got what he asked for.
