The car was dilapidated and this douche saw my car and took the opportunity to floor it and try to give me a run for my money, needless to say, I wasn't prepared and his POS stayed half a car length in front of me the whole 100 yards until the lane ended. I was frustrated!!!!!!! Why would you drive like a grandma to then try and prove a point, just the price you pay to drive such a nice car........
You do realize that the 97-03 Grand Prix was actually pretty stout (from the factory, in its time). With a pulley swap, exhaust mods, and a mail order PCM (Less than $400) these guys will run mid 13s and make 300+ ft/lbs of torque. Intercooler and a smaller pulley you are talking 12s.

You would annihilate that GP in a corner, but again, they can be made pretty quick, for cheap.

Unless it was older than a 97, not sure what to tell you.
