Then there is NO WAY in hell you are running mid 14's.
Speed Channel Filming at GLD - Meatwad - 05-23-2007

For those of you who don't know.... Rich, the host from pinks, dumped his bike at a filming of pinks. Two of Chitown Racing's finest taking a jab at him from the stands....

did anybody crash?
Speed Channel Filming at GLD - FreeRideFrosty - 05-23-2007
No crashes. One guy crossed into the other lane (big wheelie and came down a little crooked) but he was running solo because they knew it could happen. I think only one blown motor and a lost hood besides that. It was a great night for racing.
Speed Channel Filming at GLD - Meatwad - 05-23-2007
what kind of car. I seen one episode where a fox body pulled a wheelie for about 100 feet

Speed Channel Filming at GLD - FreeRideFrosty - 05-24-2007
I will try to get pics up later. There was a jet dragster and just some really nice cars that the opportunity of TV appearance brought out.

Haha. It's all good. A guy actually had a Grand Prix that he had switched from Supercharged to Turbocharged..... He was running 12's I believe. Not bad for a GP. Haha

HahaNow I'm no car expert and not sure on the newest styles yet but I know for a fact that the 2000, 01, 02, 03 gtp's are runnin 13's off the showroom floor.

:confused: Really?? How do you know for a fact?? I beat them by car lenghts. I can run the new ones heads up and its a mater of reaction times at the finish line. So, since I am running a mid-high 14 so are the brand new ones. The previous model had to be running at least a 15 second 1/4. I was beating them when I was stock. My buddy has an 01 with some work done to it and he is just breaking into the 13's.

a supercharged GP is pretty fast IMO

Tex Wrote:a supercharged GP is pretty fast IMO
Yeah. They are quick cars and fun to drive. (They feel faster than they are because of the low-end torque from the supercharger.) They are not doing 13's from the factory though.....
Speed Channel Filming at GLD - cheesecake - 05-24-2007
the new ones are mid 14,s and the older ones were a high 14. they raised the compression in the newer ones thats really the only diffrence
Speed Channel Filming at GLD - hansarvin - 05-24-2007
the new ones are very quick considering their roots as a boat. lol I'm a huge pontiac fan. Always have been always will be. I road in a 07 GP and the thing threw me back in the seat (with a supercharger though)

In ideal situations. The guy I ran in a new one ran a 14.8 or 14.9 I think....

The speedo goes 100....what happens when the needle goes past that, hits the peg (needle stops), and the motor keeps pulling?

Thats what would happen. I haven't pegged mine yet (And don't know if it would). The speedo goes to 160. Stock it was computer limited to 130. I have had it up to about 145-150 but not faster....
