Unless you have an SRT-4 not a chance. Sorry, he's got four more cylinders than you. You'd get smoked off the line assuming he knows what he's doing. Get a #14 cam, intake and exhaust, maybe some N2O and you've got him though.

you didn't say what year sorry. And no you still don't have a chance. He's got the top end and down low. Hope he doesn't know how to race.Do you have an sohc or a dohc? any mods? what kinda race? more info please, probably still gonna lose though.

It doesn't matter what year. There is no V-8 Grand Prix from the factory. The fastest one is the Grand Prix GTP w/ a 260 hp, 280 lb-ft torque Supercharged V6.
Sorry but U don't know what your talking about.[&:]

You're right he doesn't know what he's talking about. FYI...although GP's have a good amount more power they are by no means fast cars, unless you have the GTP. If you go from a dead stop you'll probably get taken. If you go from a roll depending on the drivers you might get him. I've run a Grand Prix GT from a 70 roll and had it, either he didn't know how to drive or they aren't that great up top.
