New video of 9 second Gran Prix
 

As most of you know, I tracked this car's progress for over a year now, almost to the point of stalking (only without the throat slashing).

Pleased to report that it is now flaunting a 9.01 and will soon be in the 8's.

For those of you who have not been tracking this with me, it is a 1997 Pontiac Gran Prix w/3800 twin turbo'd.

Builder is Stattama ( www.stattama.com ) and lots of help from ZZPerformance ( www.zzperformance.com )

The first victim I posted awhile back was a S/C intercooled Viper which got it's ass handed to it at a 9.73 run.

The lastest wasn't really any competition but happened to be at the staging line during test n tune, was a late model Gran Prix GTP (S/C 3800).

For those of you who were wondering why I track this car so hard, is that it's basically the motivator behind my own build, and am looking into a full TT build within the next coming year. I'll be about 400cc smaller engine than theirs, and a little heavier, so I'm planning on hitting 10's by then, until I figure out a way to get more traction.

wow, FF with a wheelie bar in the 9's, tell me he's the only one doing that...

Holy Fook, I see your inspiration!! That was the high point of the day for me. :ninja:

looks like the other guy has never dragged before. i wish my car was that fast. i bet he gets a lot of people laughing at him before is run then after they are speechless.

I bet the guy was like "HOLY SHIT" while he was doing the burnout in the box. And if it wasn't bracket racing, i'm sure he cleaned house that day

LMAO Holy eff, that was bad ass

Does he use this beast on the roads??? lmao,i would love to pull up to a guy in his mustang or some old dude in his vette and smoke them(not going over the speedlimit though, just off the line).

Billy, there ya go again. Can ya not refer to us as old dudes or olds guys, were just guys like everyone else. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ;)

haha, every guy around here who has a vette is probably in their 50s-60s, thats pretty damn old:lol:

WTF are we gonna do with you besides beat the crap out of ya if you show up at ASS.:haha:

he's right ya know.....after all, for an old guy like me, the Alero is just a mid-life crisis. ROFLMAO

damn thats sick...only thing about sleepers is they are becoming a thing of the past, with so many people these days thinking sleeper is the way to go, anymore it seems like its becoming more about the car you drive over how fast it is

hahahha yeah race sum old ass men like blackjack, that would be awesome. good luck losing LOL, I want a 9 second Alero, that will be one day.....one day Ill smoke yall with an LS2 in this alero thats gonna be RWD, and I dont care if yall pushin 60+ LOL

there was a guy that oldsman used to have a pic of, 454 alero with RWD and only ran like 14s........

yup, add nearly double the weight of a 3400, and not do anything to increase the HP, and it's pointless. never think for a second that displacement is everything. That's why there are 7-second ecotec drag cars out there.

there is also bettyracer grandam with a blown v8, not sure what kind of times she runs.......
