    Camaro is a fun car, dont get me wrong, but the rough ride, lack of feasable passanger room, and just maturity makes me want something thats smart, not a sports car right now. Big issue is snow. I need FWD or AWD to get around in the snow i get here, and the camaro just doesnt cut it.



    As far as information on them, i know a bunch about them, just lookin for some real-world feedback from owners.

    I'm curious as to what blower you used vs. the factory Eaton....

    Or did you just swap the pulley....

    True, cause from what ive heard, no need to swap blowers until you get into valvetrain work. And you cant go too big on the pulley or your KA goes nuts and your engine wont be around for much longer.

    I plan on doin an intake, u-bend removal in the exhaust, and a 3.4 pulley. Eventually ill do full exhaust, headers, and some minor suspension, but im not gettin too far into moddin it.


    But hey, that water to air intercooler looks pretty cool too, i just dont know how 'daily drivable' it is.

    We have a bunch of them on our company fleet, they are reliable no one has had any major probs with them

    they are pretty fun to drive also, and have a fair amount of power (for what you pay) even right off the lot

    Ive driven a low 14 second gtp, just pulley, cold air intake and cut out. Quick car and it sounds sweet. Id personally buy an audi or something if you got the extra cash get a 2001-2002 audi s4 there pretty cheap now a days.

    What year is it? I have a 2000 GTP. One of the better cars I have driven. They look badass, drive good and they're fast as hell.

    GTP with decent mileage can be had for 8K, right about in my college budget here.

    Used S4 im lookin at 18K+. Plus, momma had an audi, and although it was prolly a lemon, she bought that thing new and treated it like gold, and it was a total piece of crap. Didnt start half the time, turbo had to be replaced twice. Piece of crap. Paid 35 for it new, traded it 3 years later and got 13K for it.........lost value like a champ. I wont be buying audi......for the money id spend on an audi, id get a WRX.

    Pontiac puts out a pretty good line of vehicles. I'm planning on buying a GTO when I get the money.
