98 lsc vs. 05 GTP

[98lincmk7lsc]

I raced my buddy in his brand new Grand prix GTP the other day as we were leaving work. I was expecting to lose, cuz i've heard that they're faster off the line, but nope, I got the jump and he never pulled on me. We were completely even all the way up to 122. :wrench

BTW. i have a 98 lsc that's completely stock with about 150 pounds of stereo in the trunk. :steering

Wow, and he's got, what, 0.7 liters more than us?

 

[98lincmk7lsc]

no, he's got a v6.....3.8 liter i think, but it's supercharged. 260hp, and lighter than a mk8.

I thought those had the 5.3 V8 now?

you are thinking of the GTO but they are a 5.7l V8!... but i think the 06 is a 6.0l?
