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.
Car was bought with 48,000 miles on it in August of 2007. As of December 2008 it has 67,000 on it with regular oil changes.

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.

Pulley
3.4" pulley and Autolite 104 plugs are on thanks to my buddy Anthony for helping me out. Car pulls so much harder now, even though I'm seeing more KR, I'll get that tuned right out in a few days.

Tuning saga continues....
So I've completed my VE tune, my MAF tune is spot on and is 0% cruising and occasionally -3% under medium throttle, so I've been working on my 02's as of lately. I'm almost KR free while commanding 18-19* of WOT timing, so I'm pretty excited to take it to the track when they open up. Hopefully I can best my 13.92 that my last GTP ran with the stock pulley. After that its time to put that 3.4 on!

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
