If the GTP you're referring to with the "ricer" wing on it is red with a checkered flag graphic on the side, it is not stock by any means. It is owned by Zoom, who is also the owner of ZZPerformance in Grand Rapids. And yes he is running 11's. (fastest one in the nation)

Wrong Zommer is no longer the Fastest, Paul Jerkatis is the fastest with a 11.788@117.56 and i was there to see it. Zommer is 11.791@115.88.

A friend of mine bought a 2001 back in June...since then we've put Koni's with eibach springs, larger swaybars front & back, poly bushings, and strut tower braces front & back. Total cost $1050. It's a completely different car now. No body roll at all & it feels 500 pounds lighter. We weren't going to put the larger front bar on, but stock it had the tendancy to oversteer a bit and my friend didn't feel comfortable with that, so we put the larger front bar on it's damn near perfectly neutral now. I'd say it handles at least 2x better than my 96 SE.

Are these the revised version of the Konis and eibach. If not then there the Gm version of the Konis that are comeing out?. Sorry but im calling bs on this. Im with the Chicago grand prix club all the time and i hear this stuff when im at the meets. No way you can get all this stuff this cheap. If he did then name all the stuff he got by company way.

We just did all this work with the new GM performance parts...he's got a friend at a GM dealership who ordered the parts for him the day the part numbers got released to the dealers and he ordered everything with his discount...

Prices are approximate bacause I wasnt there when he ordered everything...but,
Fully assembled Koni Reds & Koni springs (I originally said eibach springs, but I checked today and I was wrong) = $800 GM P/N 12498354
Front and rear swaybars from Impalla = $50 each GM P/N 12498642
Strut tower braces off of a Buick Regal = $8 each GM P/N 12456148
Poly bushings = ~$60
Beer, pizza, torque wrench, & jackstands = ~$150

Check out GM Partsdirect they've got the basicly same costs, but charge a billion dollars (around $150) for shipping. Yes, the oem parts probably aren't as quality as the aftermarket made ones, but it still changed the way the whole car feels.

OK that sounds better . My boy is going to be getting that combo from Gm soon as well and i cant wait to see what it does. hes already got the Buick front and rear STB, Hes also got the Rat rear sway bar. you have any pics of your frnds Gp. Is he on ClubGp?.

He doesn't get on the net much...I've been tryin to get him on there but he spends too much time waxing his car to "waste time on computers".
