Yeah, I straight up stole this thing somehow. I can't wait. I should be picking it up this coming weekend if all goes to plan.
For that price you'll still get your moneys worth even if you only make it a few laps, well hope it all goes well for ya
HA. HA. I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN. This motherfucker had already agreed to sell it to me. I had a trailer rented and everything. I hate people.
Only if you leave a deposit and they take off with it. This is just morally wrong, something that would earn them a very bloody nose
It’s on par with or maybe even slower than my Honda Fit lol. And my Fit has all of 109 HP out of a 1.5 liter. What motor is in there? It sounded like a V6.
Probably the same 3.1L OHV V6 that was in my Sunbird. Rated at 140 HP and, if memory serves, 190 lb-ft. The difference is, in the Sunbird, it at least felt quick because the car was lighter and had a manual transmission. This seems to not have either of those things.
Spot on! The 140HP 3.1 mated to a 4-speed in a 3,500 pound car. My dishwasher moves around the kitchen faster than this move down the road.
Apparently, its first gear is too long, as the angle of the needles on the tachometer and speedometer are almost the same
Research I've done seems to suggest the 3-speed Grand Prix was with the Quad-4 only. All V6 Grand Prix's of this generation were mated to a 4-speed. Further research also suggests these start out in 2nd gear unless forced into first if I understand correctly. I actually kinda felt bad about ripping this thing apart since it's 30 years old and relatively straight... that is until I drove it. And then I looked underneath it. The front driver's lower control arm has HUGE rust holes in it. Also it has the typical 3.1 head gasket problem because they all do.
The're not rust holes, the're speed holes, it just lightens everything up in structurally important places
