Dark Bronzemist Metallic GTP "Goldmember"
About this Current Vehicle:
Well 11 days after I totaled the '03 GTP I ended up finding this one. I fell in love immediately. It has lower miles, better condition, and the color really glistens in the light with the metallic paint.
So far, I've put roughly 12,000 miles on it in 9 months, not too shabby. It hasn't missed a beat either. 5 of those 9 months I lived 25 miles away from work, so I was putting 50+ on it every day, 4 months ago I moved within 3.5 miles of work so my mileage has really slowed down, so glad for that

Intercooled
Just found a bargain deal on a used short stack intercooler from ZZP along with their new front mount heat exchanger. After installing, I should be able to drop down to a 3.2" pulley and increase timing a few degrees. I'm pretty excited. Track slips to come this fall!

1.9 rockers
Tonight was the first time I got my hands really dirty turning a wrench on a car since probably my intake manifold swap on the Camaro, which was around 2 years ago. It felt good to get in there and do my own work. It took me a little longer than I planned, but I was taking my time getting familiar with the L67.
I can't wait to get it tuned and go WOT the first time.

Damn that sucks
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooy
New goal for ya as of last night 13.464 @ 103.51 at Crapitol's Ice Rink:
What a great looking car, Love the wheels. 15 stars.
Awesome GTP. I have to get a set of those wheels for my Regal...do you know who has the best deal on them?
I still have stock springs in mine. I usually don't have any float issues.
Love the color with the black wheels. Nice looking car!
Just remembered I used a stud remover or you can use an inverted torx on the end of that stud
I think it was a deep 15 or I snuck a gear wrench in there. Its been about a year now I forget d'oh
Nice car..
