My Ride:
1999 Turbo Grand AM GT

honest oppinions here

Keep the boosted GA or sell it and get something else...

I ran my car without first gear and a very bad boost leak, I blew my exhaust gaskets after the manifold before turbo, ran a 14.013 @ 103. motor was stock, just bigger injectors and a halfass tune. most guys with stock motor/trans boosted GA run low 13s on street tires.\
My buddy has a grand am se(different geared tranny a lot crappier than the GT) he ran a 13.3 @ 112 and my car was slightly faster, my 0-60 launch is in the 4s and his is in the 5s, so I probably could make up time there, I could also downgrade the turbo to like a .63 ar housing would probably get me boosting around 2-2.2k right now i only start spooling at 2.7

I got a new motor on the way and I have a new transmission in the basement waiting to get upgraded, and some new parts to replace the stock internals.

like my friends srt4 maxing out his turbo with intake; tune; some stage 2 goodies, i used to wreck it on highway by a lot... he ran a 13.9 street tires spinning a lot.

now i'm looking at an EVO or a GTO, If I bought the gto it would obviously be a 6.0 and I would sell my car and turbo and get a rear mount twin turbo, but you think that would be a little much for a street car? I mean the GA has a lot of petential and It is a sleeper. I know you guys are probably pretty biased on your cars but I don't know what decision to make.
