a spirit r/t is faster then a 6.0 gto in 0-60, 1/4 miles and top speed.. stock vs stock

new gto is puke

i originally only paid 2,750 for my r/t in mint condition.

so for performance vs price,, grocery getter family car stock sleeper is win

B)


Too bad a spirit is also uglier than herpes. I'd much rather take a GTO over a spirit....

how much do you have dumped into your r/t ??? also post the video of you vs the supra that was pretty funny lol


i cant remember exact numbers anymore but a little over 12k invested. havnt stuck any money into it over a year and a half since i finished the build.

i get 44mpg with cruise at 70mph now, and i can smoke the tires at 80mph and only running 18psi of the 40psi and methanol injection that its built for, so its meh :P

for less then 15k i got an uber sleeper and im happy with it.


idk what vid your are talking about, but if id have to guess its this one lol.

Well, I've got the thread going on my little stang, but it's been a slow start between finances and unreliable suppliers.

Sorry to hear about your grandma.
