Re: Crossfire vs. Grand Prix GT??? (Do I have a shot?)
Here it is Brothers and Sisters, "I hate losing"... I do not care if it is in a straight line, or in a turn, "I Hate Losing"... When someone pulls up next to me and wants to drag race to the next red-light I'm all about it, I don't care about how well the Crossfire handles in the curves at that very second, all I care about is getting to the next red-light before the other car, and that's the bottom line... I know the Crossfire is tough in the turns of the road, and if I am dealing with another car in a turn I start caring how the Crossfire is going to handle... handling only counts if you are racing another car and you are in need of handing abilities... in addition, speed counts only when you are racing another car and you are in need of speed... all I can say is I love both... hooah
If your going to do drag racing you need to remove the Crossfire's restrictor plate, ok it's not a restrictor plate but it may as well be one, here is the outline... just follow the pictures...
1. Airbox with air restricting screen, and with screen removed...
Note: Liquid Ceramic Heat Shield Paint on underside of Airbox for cooling.
Here is the second screen, Intake with and without the screen...
This is where the third screen would be located, it is located down inside of the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor runner (below the second screen in the picture above) the screen is metal... I've only got a picture of the MAF runner without the screen, but you can see it if you look under the hood of your Crossfire, as you can see by my picture once I removed the screen the intake is wide open, SO BE VERY CAREFUL AND DON'T DROP ANYTHING DOWN INTO YOUR ENGINE...
My Crossfire is much quicker after removing these air restrictions... I did the hat on the dash test... hooah
