If he was an enthusiast, he might even swap in the GM L67 supercharged 3.8L V6 from other cars that share the same chassis.
Even in a heavy car like that they run high 14's with nothing done to them, and when you start to do pulley swap/supporting mods they can get into the 13's

The OP said Grand Prix not Grand Am. The Grand Prix was like 3500 lbs, the Grand Am was about 3100. I own a 2000 Grand Am, it does have plenty of torque, it's also a 3 or 4 speed automatic which automatically disqualifies any coolness. Although when I changed the air filer from stock to a K&N, engine response vastly improved and it accelerated like a new car.
