yeah, the v8 is neat. smallest production v8, it was a 3.4 L v8, but it had 15 more horses than the v6.

Yamaha v6 is the way to go. reliability and hp.

yeah, neat cars, too bad they were FWD, I hear they are bringing back the sho though soon.

the sho is about the ONLY taurus I'd ever drive.

yeah, im not a fan of v6 exhaust but i have a metal intake tube and a k&n cone filter so you can hear the intake sucking air. the intake has 12 1 inch tubes that run to each intake valve.

heres a vid of me hitting 120 on the highway. i had both mufflers rust and fall off. thats why the exhaust is loud... and sorry for the song, lol.

I'm 20 years old, this has been my first car since I was 17. It's a 1983 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ. It has a Pontiac 301 v8, not original to the car. The only upgrade it has is a 4BBL 650CFM(I think?) Edelbrock carburetor. It's an alright engine, but I'm looking for more power. So my plans are to swap it out for a Chevy 383. I hope I can afford by next summer!

Anyways, here's the pics.
