Well I was talkin to my buddy at work today about our cars and he said that his 02 Grand Prix would probobly take my 99 Alero in a drag race. His car has the 3.1L V6 and says that year the booseted the horsepower of the motor. My car has the 3.4L engine in it and obviously I think I will win. We both have K & N air filters but I don't think that will matter too much. So when I get my car back on the road which will hopefully soon, we are going to a local drag strip to find out! Im sure we could find out on some backroad but I want it to be official and go to the track. It would make it a fun expirience finding out my quarter mile times and such.

ah no, you'll beat him. but thats only theoretically speaking

Depends on his gearing. I drove one as a rental once, same year in fact.

Very big car, with a small motor

eh, if he's got the 3.29 gearing and you have the 3.05, he might have a shot at it, but if so, only barely.

this thing will probably get locked. for some reason, you aren't supposed to talk about "could i beat this....."
they say it leads to flame wars. but, what doesn't anymore.
i'm thinking you'll win, though. alero's are lighter than grand prix and you've got some more displacement. should be pretty close, tho.

thats EXACTLY what i was thinking when i saw the title of this thread and clicked in it to read it. But then i saw that the person who usually always locks threads for that reason has already posted in here :Noooo: .

On topic though....i think that you should beat him.

^ he didn't lock it because he's taking it to the track. :thumb:

Your gonna blow his doors off!

That's right :beerchug:

redog, this is directly off the guidelines page.
that's what i was referring to

ohhhhh poop...you're askin to get in trouble callin out a mod like that.

he knows i'm not being a jerk. i just don't want it to get out of hand like things have in the past

i'm not tryin to be a rooster or nothin, but wannabe mods are as bad as topics getting out of hand...ask vtolds lol

LMAO....

god if you dont i would be embarassed, a grand prix SE is sooo ugly

ask me what? I haven't been like that for a long time Pat.

Why would Pontiac do something stupid like put a 3.1 liter motor in a car that size? My Impala is the same car size car, and it comes with the 3400 at least if not the 3800 like mine.

ask me what? I haven't been like that for a long time Pat.

ppl just got upset about you bein a wannabe mod..i never said you were still like that...

Okayy then. . . Well hopefully by next month I will be at the track and will deffinitly take some pics, maybe even a video would be cool too. :cool:

Why the hell would they? I dont know, but they sure as hell did for several years. Had a choice between a SE with a 31 or a GT with a 38. No in betweens on the Gran Prix that I'm aware of during those years. I can tell you that they DID compensate for lack of displacement with tighter gearing though. That might be the only advantage he has if any.

Hah, you're complaining about a 3100 powering a W-Body. You do know that you could get a standard ouptut Quad4 automatic in them in around '90. And in '93 you could get a lumina with a 2.2! (a 2.5 in the years before)
