Well I think you should be able to take it out. I beat my wifes 2002 grand am gt ram air by almost a whole cars length!! If I can beat that car you can take the grand prix I am sure. The grand prix's dont pull that hard upstairs. Now You better be consistant though or there is a chance he may take you. I got a 5 speed in my tour and she took the jump everytime but 2-3 gear would put me out front everytime!! I love these cars lol. Oh where in MN are you from?? I am in MN as well.
