Thanks for posting this Josh. It's a high 13 second car that sounds and appears bone stock. sleeper.

Picture taken just before the damage happened to the drivers side. I had to steer hard left to avoid T-boning the Chevelle that spun out in front of me. The body damage really wasn't all that bad considering that could have happened.

Under hood picture / you can see the stock 3.8" pulley in the blower which works well with the higher compression (9.5:1 vs 8.5:1 stock) and the Comp cams VS cam

Yeah.... I saw that Scott just joined the other day.

**DirtyMax** · 10-16-2008, 10:07 PM

Any pics of the damage or am I looking at it?

I see a few dings and stuff along this driver's side. Is that it?

I believe the ding on the driver side was from his wife backing into it. The gaurd rail damage was on the passenger side right front fender. If I remember right it wasn't that bad and he may have fixed it up a little but I can't remember for sure.

Scott can you post pictures of the front quarter panel?

Yes, please do. I need a work daily driver but I take clients out so I can't have it look too bad.

My wife backed into it on the passenger side. small dent that has been touched up. The drivers side damage can be seen in the picture posted above if you look carefully. There is a slight crease directly 1 inch above the wheel opening and if you look by the GTP emblem you will see it is a little wrinkled. the drivers door was slightly tweaked along the body molding and the rear quarter you can see in the pic also has some damage. Email me and then I can send you some pics. Or better yet, drive up to Slinger and take a look. I don't think it looks that bad.

Its a pretty damn nice car for the miles! I got to drive it and look it over when the person was gonna buy it. Drives like new, the PS rack is a little notchy and slower speeds but everything else, handling, suspension and brakes wise seem like a new one. I personally loved how crisp and on point the trans was.

**Lakeside GTP** · 10-25-2008, 11:43 PM

Just PM me your email address and I can send you pics of the damage. The main picture in the thread shows 70% of the damage though. Just look near the GTP emblem on the drivers door. There is minor damage to the left front fender, left front door and left rear quarter panel. There is also a dent on the right rear quarter panel but it's not that bad. The rear bumper has a scuff on the left rear.

Thanks for the kind words BAD LS1. It is a very solid car and I have driven it hard but taken very good care of it mechanically. No leaks, no warning lights on. Has a very strong engine and great shifting transmission.

I know Scott has always taken good care of this car! It is out of my winter car price range or I wouldn't even have posted this for him. I have driven the car and it drives great and has a lot of power! Fun car to drive. Make me wish I still had my GP!!

I know this may seem like a stupid question, what kind of MPG does it get...???
