Well I get beside a GTP Pontiac this afternoon on the way back from lunch. It was a red 4 door. I ran the driver...a chick no less...to about 70mph.
I was neck-to-neck until about 55mph then it seemed my truck just didn't want to go much quicker. Well that's what I get with a 5300lbs brick with maybe 300hp.
It was just a walk from there on out with the GTP. Ah well...I can't wait until turbo diesel power comes along!

Don't those have a blower on them? That's not bad for your truck, but you need a radix

My truck could use a 6.0 HO with a ton of boltons. but a Radix would be nice too. Eh...my WRX is fast for now... until the DMax...that is going to be quicker yet.

Hit Man.... Guess what.....I am well schooled in the way that 3.8 runs and you didn't even race her from it's sweet spot. BUT the car is useless, all it can do is go to and from work, sucks in the snow and can't tow anything not to mention it's a pain to work on that motor.
I would bet with, Full intake (intake ported TB), free mods, Headers and exhaust, and a good tune, you could take her from a roll or stop.
