How would an SE stack up to these? Obviously no match for a GTP, since the SVT's aren't, but how bout the others?

I mean a GTP wont slaughter an SVT, it atleast looks respecatable. I just keep reminding them they have a s/c and I'm n/a  Never have beat them from a stop, dont think I ever will. My SVT defiently turns more heads than their GTP's and whenever we go somewhere they always want to take the SVT. They say they like the looks and stares. Sure they are faster but you will NEVER see me replacing my SVT w/ a GTP  -neal

My BF's dad has a 97 Grand Prix GT. It auto but it will freakin fly!!! The sad part is that it hasn't been driven in probably 6 or 7 months. It has a couple of bad tires and his dad has another daily vehicle. A 97 with about 25k, WOW!! Thats even better than my 98.5 w/only 22k!

You will rarely or never see a GTP in an auto X because they are only good in a straight line. Wide track my a$$, I lose them in corners, off and on ramps but man, when I hit the straight they pull on me. I had a jump on one in a 60 to 120 run but when I was passing 110, 115 he was passing me.
