Lost to a Pontiac Grand Am 2000
 
After coming from a bad day, i pulled up to the light pissed, as this Pontiac Grand Am, 2000 model pulls up next to me... So he Rev'ed his engine as there was a long road ahead mostly straight with a couple of curves inbetween.... So as soon as the light turns green i floored it ... Surprised to the fact that my car took off faster than his, on the straight away he was slowly gaining on me, as we both went about 110 on the stupid road, my tires yelled as a took this turn and he slowed down, thats our P5's handling baby !!!!!! But even though it was close he pulled off in the end on the straight away. But it was a perfect way to end off the night. Plenty of fun, and dont worry this happened at 12am sharp so there were no people lives in danger excepts ours that is.
Everyone drive safely, and take precautions when street racing, dont want anyone from the boards getting killed over nothing stupid even the ones with the smart mouths :laugh: They know who they are ....

I had a Grand Am GT car club swarm me on the highway F&F style one night, the loudest one pulled up next to me and we initiated the race. From 65 - 90 (my 3rd gear) we stayed neck and neck, when I hit 4th I started walking him. This race was in my accord, and I was very impressed that a Grand Am kept up, seeing that they usually can't ;) yes, the V6 5-speeds are pretty quick when modded, but it still has a crappy ass interior/handling/performance when compared. I do like the exterior styling of it though.

so true, we have this idiot at school with one who always goes like 90 mph through the parking lot :rolleyes: he even came up to me one day and asked to race, I told em to buzz off.

too bad you can't get a grand am v6 with a 5-speed

Travis June-25th-2002 01:28 PM

I guess its not a factory option then ;) I raced one (project car) out of a local performance shop. So I assumed pontiac would atleast offer the 5-speed in their pigs they call Grand Ams :D

Grand Am GT's are nice. Really beefy interior plastics.
GM really likes body cladding? Whats with that. Not much you can do to mod the exterior of the GT. Except add a big wing :camaro:

GM engines are pretty fast, but at the same time they are really crude. They lack sophistication and refinement. I'll take a P5 over a Grand Am ANY DAY.

Grand Am
 
who said there are not mods for the Grand Am, click on my WWW and check out the blue Grand Am in my photo album it's pretty sick man, the whole interior is blue and white leather, the dash, steering wheel, everything inside, it's even got air suspension that's why it's so low, and check out my boss's car the 2.5 TL real sweet.
