Hey man,
Nice car! Have you driven it much, just wondering if you know what kind of gas mileage you get with that setup. I'm only getting about 8 mpg with my BBO in front a 3 speed.
Curious what you get with the 3.25 gear. Mine is currently ~3.55 I believe.
I really like all of the electronics and list of stuff you are going to have. I didn't even know Viper made an iPhone app for their alarm, that's pretty sweet. The HID lights are a nice little touch!
There are a few things that I think don't look right. I don't like the rear wheel flares how they're done. I think if you had matching ones on the front wheel wells it would look more symmetric. Like the GNX. Did you think about doing a mini tub so you wouldn't need flares? Or did you do a mini tub AND flares? I know you'll need a lot of meat to put that kind of power to the ground.
I'm also not a fan of the monster tach suction cupped to the windshield. Down here I think we would get hit with obstruction of view. :lol: The windshield tach is the same size as the dash tach, so that seems a little wierd. I would have just put a shift lite on top of the dash for use when racing, and just went with the one tach in the dash. A buddy of mine has a setup like this for his Z06, and it works well. He just has a 1 inch shift lite on the dash, that he can cover when not racing.
I'm not a fan of the big tail pipes sticking way out in the back. I see your first GP was like that, so that must be something you're into. I like how the ground effects on the back of your first GP were, compared to the new car. But I understand you did what you did because of the big pipes. I guess I just don't like the look of straight pipes on a GP. Are those beasts 4"?
Watch your ankles on those babies!
I had an 84 Grand Prix that was stolen. I freakin' love Grand Prix's, mostly because they have Chevy engines in them. My first g body was a Cutlass, so I kind of gravitated back towards that, but I miss my GP for sure.
Are you going to have the hood vents functional? That would be sweet, sort of like ram air.
I wish you luck with that pretty front end dam setup. After buying my car I drove it 800 miles home and chipped my front end up from bugs and sh*t. Wasn't too happy about that. So much for color matched bumpers, grrr
Are you planning on making it to any Power Tours? I wanted to hit the one up last year but I need to get my car setup with better gas mileage before doing something like that. It would have cost me a grand just to do a few legs of it, lol
What's the story with the steering wheel spinners? Are those legal up there?
If you don't like somebody's ride, at least be decent about it, or just plain don't click that submit button. We've asked, now we're telling you. Not just this thread but the entire site.
