98 Gtp

well after all that talk about the 05, how the tranny wasnt letting the engine "engage" fast enough....my friend borrowed his girlfriends stock 98 gtp. we both lined up...its about 15-20 degrees out, so most of you know how bad my launch was, his wasnt to much better, but it was, he got about 1-1.5 cars on my and it about stayed that way. so i pulled up next to him and said lets go from a roll since i cant launch, so we went about 25, i dropped it into second and we stayed even til about 70 n i started to pull n he left off. so all in all, im thinkin a pre 04 gtp is about the same as our cars. But im sure i could get about a car on him when the weather warms up.

Good kill!! I beat a 99gtp 2dr with some stuff done to it. I met him thru work and he said my car sounds slow and and all i had was the well-fare intake. All i said is that i scoots when it has to.Im sure im a lil bttr at launchingand have bttr weather too, but i ate em. he had the tration control on i kept a good 2 cars on him entering 3rd. the tipical excuse was blah blah blah bull shit. B4 we even staged he said i didnt stand a chance and that 60hp is a big diffrence between mine and his. I also walked his friends monte ss w/the 3800series blower just not impressed w/the other supercharged cars out ther. Im proud to say Saturn Made this car realy well.

Hahahahaha!!!

I LOVE when people talk shit about our cars because they're Saturns only to get beat when it's taken to the pavement.

Then, the excuses come flyin' at ya.

"I missed a gear"
"I had my traction control on"
"I spun all the way through 2nd"
"I hit the rev limiter"

and the list goes on.................

I love when people say that kind of stuff. So you are saying that you are just a bad driver? Oh ok, glad we got that out of the way.

while they were rillong Adam kept up even, but from a STOP, The GTP beat the ION. We ran it before, the stock GTP ran a 14.58 @98.7mph. Not sure what the 1/4mile RL time is, but the Neon SRT4 runs a 13.9. What is the official 1/4 mile time for the RL?

major spin in second. i could have easily spanked the gtp, but i couldnt hook up in first, and half of second. and by the time i was in second, the gtp had traction and took off.

YOU BOTH HAD TRACTION PROBLEMS!, if HE had traction it wouldn't even had been a race, more like follow the leader. Unless your ION runs a 14.5 or lower, IT IS NOT FASTER THAN THE GTP. PERIOD> no matter how you sugarcoat it.

Dude, I've beaten two GTP's already. First one was a friends. '99 I think and completely stock. I smoked his ass from a stop. Second one was just some dude I met up with on the road. I know he had aftermarket exhaust at the least. We started from a 55mph roll and I maintained at least a car length on him the entire time to about 115.

No sugarcoating here.
