Neat, a friend had a swift GTi and it was quite fun to drive. I’m gonna guess a 16.0 @ 85 if it’s going to stay stock such as it is. ---

Besides, most people i know are way past GNX specs. No offense but if the metro beat my SS i would put a sicker on my car that indicates my loss to a metro and i would leave it there till i could beat the metro. ---

He already has 3 hp per pound advantage. My guess is it would be close if the monte is stock. My Dad has an 87 SS so I have driven both. I guess we will have to find out who wins. But the big thing with this car is handling, very light and nimble. I was talking to somone about these cars in AutoX and they are a desirable car to use for the stated reason. Don’t really know how they would fare in the straight line but my guess is not too shabby for a stocker. But it sounds like a race :hsdance: ---
