I had no idea the supercharged grand prix ran a 15.1. wow. But I still think you got him. You should be running close to 195BHP plus you got the n2o shot. The GTP comes stock with 240HP @ 5200 and 280TQ @ 3200 and you should have close to that when you hit your button. But you still got 2443 pounds over his 3396. Plus I believe our tranny is set up for "speed" while even tho the GTP is a "performance" model, the tranny is still economy. <p>Let us know how it turns out, and post slips if you can.

HAHAHA, Giggly Gas, thats the first time anyone has ever called it that, from what I've heard. Thats awesome, I'm gonna start using it. If thats ok?
