If you want to spend the money, a turbo set up, or top swap. Recomend the turbo though.

Not to be a wet blanket but it's going to take at least well fed turbo setup and maybe even some shaved weight to get that tank into the 13's. The NA 3.8's do respond well to modification, as I've found out, but you've got to take into account how heavy these monsters are and even with the altered shift points thanks to a new PCM, the automatic tranny slows it down even more. These cars run good, but NA you're fighting a seriously uphill battle.

It's going to take a bit of $$ on your part to get there, and if you're honestly shooting for 13's I'd say leave the cosmetics out of it, the cars look good enough as is and it'd just distract you from the more important goal.

Either way, best of luck to you

^^ A good top swap with a few supporting mods(dp,intake) and a good tune should be more than capable of 13.9's, a stock GTP can run 14.5, and you have higher compression and better gearing (3.29) in a GT



Edit, a Turbo will start you in the mid 13's though........

^^^ I [edit]third that[i'm a slow typer], even the stock GTP runs a high 14 low 15 1/2 mile and still takes a bit of cash to get into the high 13 second range. If your serious about getting into the 13's i would defiantly look into the turbo kit, i beleive the most popular one is this one from ZZP. They claim 300 hp with a n/a gp and 400hp with an intercooler.

The downfall, do you have 3k minimum and a good deal of time to spend with instillation? or another 1k if you want the intercooler?


As iv herd it so eloquently put before you got to pay to play.
