I wonder how many hp he'd gain by replacing the rear shocks? Did y'all see how badly that car would squat? lol

Meh Im with that suggestion for turning off the headlights. And if he really wanted to improve weight, he oughta tie a brick to the foot-pedal and get his fat pimply *** out and let that poor old car meet a better fate than him.

if thats the right way to add up hp gains then i must have 73whp with all the **** broken on my car. Paint chip on hood -20hp, cracked dash -10hp, a/c doesn't work -15hp, hit a nissan maxima and need a new front spoiler -30hp, car's old -15, rear speakers don't work -15, random subratration of hp -10.
and according to his method he earns himself -400 for being a ****head.
I'd love to sit down and have a chat with this guy

i like how some of the people are commenting on it like its a honda...

"throw out the stock intake and put in a K&N +40HP y0"

and heres a
Definitely not a race car-but fast enough for me-beat a grand prix GTP in a highway race from 60-100 mph.
the GTP must not have known he was there, as even the first model made 220HP and 215 TQ. the last GTP made in 05 made 260HP.

Reminds me of a friend of a friend that I have... He has an early 90's Grand Am thats really trashed, yet since my friend doens't know too much about cars he feeds him the biggest bull**** ever... Like the fact that he's running 400hp UNMODDED, except for the "performace waterpump" that he had to buy, since he could only use about 350hp before replacing it. He was bragging on how he would twin turbocharge it someday, it was pretty good stuff to hear about.

Don't all early grand am's have 400-500 hp anyway? Mine does, and with my window tint and new tires, I have at least 650-700... oh yeah forgot that mine is a quad4 HO... that's good for at least 1000 hp right there.

*snicker snicker*.

Jeez. Tell that guy to "zip it". My GT pumps 175HP and that's all it will ever do without spending major dollars to get to 215HP... kind of like spending all that money to turbo an NA... cricket cricket.
