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.

There are actually 3 fwd 3800s in the 9s. Two are from Intense, both with built engines and this one from ZZP/Stattama which used a stock bottom end and has the record. I believe they are all running wheelie bars.

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

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

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.
