There's a LOT of differences here james.

WOW, heres the specs for my car... 1 motor, 4 Wheels, 2 doors, seats, paint, and a big hard wally. My car wants to eat your cars heart..and then tear off its ground effects and rape it till the body is too stiff to work with....FAG

I have to drive for my job, therefore my car is perfect for me. You NEED to have a good suspension to drive around Cleveland with the 4 foot deep pot holes.
For those of you that know anything about cars, getting yourself a cool air intake is defiantly worth it too. Your engine gets more air and breathing room and enables better performance yielding horsepower.
 
that's what Enzyte, the natural male enhancement is for!
 
Dude, seriously, it's just a car. The more you rant about it, the less convinced we become.
People like different shit, and have different hobbies. I'm all for annoying people, but a lot of you are being ridiculous. I don't see people going "It's just a guitar" in guitar threads. I can understand calling him a douchebag for the cigarettes issue, but don't bother someone about passion in their hobby. (And while I quoted the above asswipe, this post is targetted at a few of you.)
And if anyone says I bothered him about his car, I'm launching a preemptive strike and saying I respect his passion, think his car is gay, and think he should have bought a GTO.

^ My project car, its basically done but i can't drive it cause of insurance...and its a gas hog..4 barrel carb. big intake manifold, the engine is all rebuilt, v8 350...Cherry Bombs with new exhaust system, new interior (black) bucket seats. the only thing that needs to be done is the paint job.

^ This is what i drive NOW, cause its affordable and has decent gas mileage. Not a bad car at all.
 
dude your car is not a fucking race car...get over yourself. HELL IT ISN'T EVEN OFFERED IN ANYTHING BUT 4 SPEED AUTO. My modded 06 mazda speed 6 could shred your car off the line, but even that isn't a race car. just a fun, inexpensive midsized sport sedan.
 
oh and im talking about the OP 04' gran prix

You obviously aren't talking about the gtp. With the proper exhaust setup, chips, cams, pulleys, and tires, you can easily get over 340 hp. I'm NOT saying it's a racecar. I'm simply stating that i'm proud of my car, and I'm confident that if I needed the horse it's there.

Mazda's are great cars. I'm not going to deny that fact. But a gtp isn't a piece of crap like you're stating. 3.8L taking on a 5.0 mustang and beating it is quite the feat, if you ask me.

This thread was supposed to be about me being pissed and calling the cops, not about my car.
