View Full Version : 99 snake vs. 98 grand prix GTP
dropTopSnake 02-07-2004, 05:35 AM Hey all-</P>
Somebody I know has one of those 2 door grand prix GTPs, the one with the supercharger, stock they only produce like 240hp, but he claims to have 300. So who do you think would win, a 99 vert snake vs the 98 GTP grand prix? The GTP is an auto with FWD, and the snake is a stick with RWD. </P>

nomocobra 02-07-2004, 12:52 PM the cobra would def win...

99 cobra 02-08-2004, 04:11 PM Heres a question,</P>
</P>
Why are you asking if you can win or lose? Are you afraid of loosing? If you believe in your car then race. Remember man there is always someone out there that has better.(03 cobra maybe) Don't be afraid of losing or else you will. And if you do lose you willhave a new person to cruise with.I was never afarid of losing and because of that i haven't lost.</P>

Those GTPs are not to be taken lightly... they are easly modable and can produce a lot of power with just a pully and chip</P>

uh ok no...that has absolutely nothing to do with winning. well, maybe in a self-help book it does, but not in a freakin car race. what a load of crap.</P>
WyDoPn 02-08-2004, 11:44 PM wait till u get ur licensce and then talk.jug and as far as having confidence in your car to suceed in anythign u have to have confidence in cars football marriages etc.
Jugador1 02-08-2004, 11:46 PM get a real argument, then try and tell people off. arent you 15 anyway?
WyDoPn 02-08-2004, 11:48 PM no im 17 for one and for to u were trying to put ur input or suggstion out there on something u dont even know mayb in a couple months you might.
Jugador1 02-09-2004, 12:05 AM wtf you got your license 3 weeks ago and now you're some big badass or something? </P>

hotrodman 02-09-2004, 03:36 AM go find out chicken..............l.o.l.<IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">
2000GT4.6 02-10-2004, 07:19 AM Put in some 3.73s or 4.10s and REALLY smoke his ass.</P>
I have ran against a couple GTPs (one supposedly has N20, but I dont believe it) and beat em all. But they can be modded pretty easy into the 13.5 range with only a few mods.</P>
SilverGTV8 02-10-2004, 10:25 AM I have a friend with a 4dr GTP put 230 to the ground with CAI, pully and exhaust work. He just got a set of headers for it and a PCM tune. The thing is mad fast! He can just out run my GT so Snake should have no problem taking it. But those GTPs are not to be taken lightly by any means. As stated earlier, couple hundred in mods and you got one fast car real cheap.
2HiPsi 02-24-2004, 12:01 AM stock cobra? too heavy...

birch 02-24-2004, 07:48 PM I owned a stock 97 GTP (before I graduated to an 03 Cobra). I couldn't hardly hang against stock 99 gt's (course I only tried it once) If that guy is really putting down 300...you'll have a contest on your hands.
bczapp 03-27-2004, 10:45 PM dude, if you lose, check the VIN, cuz you aint got a snake, if you do, sell it cuz its ****ed!!!
CobraSVT33 03-31-2004, 01:03 PM ran my 01 cobra against a 99 gtp 2dr a few times smoked his a$$ and he had like a chip and intake exhaust and stuff, i even took him off the line its all about knowing how to drive your car and from a stop a good launch is needed
TorchRedXCVI 07-18-2004, 02:04 PM In the same sentence as he was talking smack I would pull up that Cobra and tell him to fire his POS up and let's go!
Mystic_Eats_Rice 07-18-2004, 04:26 PM You should get the kill, just drive it like you should, bang the gears and powershift that shi$. Hell, if he has 300 rwhp then your screwed but why not, just don't put money on it.
98cobrasvt 07-20-2004, 01:59 AM You should most definitely win, but may the force b with u... :D
DRSully 07-31-2004, 08:30 PM If he truly has a 300+ hp GTP, he is running mid 13's. I do not know what kind of time you are running but it should be a fairly interesting race. I had a 1997 GTP. It had a cold air intake, smaller pulley, and a DHP pcm. It also had a cooler thermostat and plugs. The best time was 13.8 through the quarter. Not bad at all for about $400. GTP's can be made quick very easily. For everyone one that you see modified there are about 30 that are just cars that mom is driving to the grocery store. Be careful. You will find one that will open your eyes sometime.
Take care,
David

If he has 300 rwhp he has some serious money in the car, considering it is front wheel drive.
Take care,

A couple hundred in mods, and you would have been beating them.

xgmowner 09-18-2004, 03:29 PM Bringing this one back from the dead (only because I saw Sully's post here....another ClubGP guy!!!!)....I've owned a GP, not a GTP mind you, but a GT. Was a member over at CGP for a couple of years until recently when I acquired the Mustang....the GTP's, when modded right, are straight up nasty pieces of machinery...12's are all too common now with GTP's, and more people are bored with those times and shooting constantly for 11's, and getting them too. I would say that a GTP with just intake and exhaust, you would have no problem with...but a GTP well modded is going to be hard to beat, and if it is beaten, it won't be by much. It's mostly about race weight, driver, and mods.
SexyFStreetRacer 10-24-2004, 01:43 AM Just FYI, If he claims 300 hp, the stock cobra with no mods pulls 316hp.... and with very small mods the cobra is easy to make faster----dust his ass.....
Three words of advice---
One-----Know your abilities and more important know your car (each one is very different)
Two-----If your afraid to break it, dont race it.... (and)
Three---Drive it like you stole it.... and never look back-----
Good luck---- april

I have never seen a stock 99 or 01 Cobra put 316 to the wheels. They are rated 320 at the flywheel. Most of the stock ones I have seen are in the 270 range.
I have seen others that put down 300 rwhp with full exhaust and intake mods.
DUB 6 10-26-2004, 06:42 PM Ok...once again....leave it to Dub to set the record straight...
Here read this...

2001_SaleenS281_08 10-26-2004, 06:51 PM Yeah a GT would OWN a GTP. I know I have beat several of those pos. a cobra would do even better
DUB 6 10-26-2004, 07:05 PM I'm always here to Educate and be Educated....lol....A cobra shouldn't have any problems with a GTP..:D
1badgtp 07-07-2008, 04:48 PM Hey droptop, hear you got owned by a 6 banger!!!
1badss/sc 07-07-2008, 05:02 PM I blew right past a GTP in my old cobalt SS/SC. I know that my cobra is much faster than that, so you should be able to take him easily.
Well, this thread is REALLY old. Did you win?
1badgtp 07-08-2008, 11:00 AM He is tooo ashamed to tell!!! Better luck next time.
1badss/sc 07-08-2008, 01:28 PM Hehe. I guess he got killed then?
O well, maybe next time.
my gtp runs BOTTOM 13's all day long on street tires....
here are the mods on mine:
intake
northstar throttlebody
1.9 rocker arms
3.0 pulley
zzp air to water intercooler
stage 2 ported eaton supercharger
pacesetter headers
full 3in exhaust into double 2.5's
magnaflow mufflers
dyno tuned
331 whp 348 wtq
