This is actually a 2 min 15 sec. preview of the GNX including driving footage done by Motorweek back long ago. I'll sell it for $10 shipped. But here's the kicker, it's in a Betamax tape :rolleyes: and hence the media is a GNX contemporary.

How far do engine rpms really drop after an upshift on an automatic car? For example if one is shifting from 1st (3.06) at 6000 rpm to 2nd (1.62), the rpms if there was a direct mechanical link would drop to just under 3200 rpm (6000 x 1.62/3.06 = 3176 rpm). But there are two reasons why this...

Where can I order super 104+ (black bottle) by internet or mail order in cases of 6? Summit used to sell this but now they don't. Thanks for any help.

Have you ever considered a '96-'97 Bonneville SE supercharged? My dad has a [black] one and it has a lot of neat pluses: 1.) Weighs only "3550 lbs." (3710 lbs. with me in it and all reservoirs at full including fuel). My dad got the minimum model ("SE") and the minimum options ("SLE option...

My dad has a 1996 Pontiac Bonneville SE (black exterior/black leather interior). It's a custom order and it has the minimum options (just SLE option pkg.) to get the supercharged L67 motor; hence it's the lightest Bonneville (3550 lbs. w/o driver but full tank of fuel). This plus exhaust and...

Owners of the GTP or GS, I have a friend who is considering a GTP coupe or Accord EX V6 coupe. His office mates basically, "Pontiac, why???" I proclaim the GTP is a real treat (including dependability) that the layman won't know unless he owns one. Please chime in your experiences.

I have a couple additions to make: - Cracking the crank-end of the rod I believe allows for a perfect fit between the two pieces and perhaps better bearing life from desired clearances. It'snot as new as some may think, BMW has been doing this for over a decade. - Powdered metal rods are...

I read from the www.maxima.org forum that '02 Maxima guys are getting 14.4s for automatic and 14.3s for 6-speed. The '02s stand to gain a lot over the '00 and '01s not just from the peak motor output increases, but the fact that maximum allowable rpms on the '02s are much higher than the peak...

On a later Thunderbird SC manual, a guy with a couple mods ran 14.5 at 96 or so mph. Nice cars. It's a give/take comparo. The Thunderbird is intercooled but the blower is a much smaller Eaton M62 (the series II blown GM motors has Eaton M90) and the motor doesn't compare in volumetric intake...

The best all-around 4-door (import or domestic)?? Maybe for now it's a 2002 Maxima (any trim GXE, SE, or GLE). Quick: 14.4s to 14.3s at 95-97 on automatics and 6-speed manuals Affordable: Sticker price for GXE auto is under $25,000 with power driver seat, alarm, remote, HID lights...

jeez, those are awesome. i got a best 60' on my dad's bonne down to 2.085 and 2.09 but couldn't get the e.t. despite consistently netting 93+mph. what tires do u use?

Yikes, If you have a Park Avenue Ultra you're looking at even more loads on the frail tranny than the lighter GTP. As for a smaller pulley go only with the mildest one. Any smaller and you're going to have to use octane boost The best is Super 104+, there are no substitutes and you will...
