QuoteThe interior is also exclusively designed for the turbo model

I hate when people lie... ><

QuoteThe stats with 12 psi boost are as follows, 0-60: 6.05, quarter: 14.2, top speed: 151 mph

I'd love to see him go 151 in that... I top out at 122 and I don't see it hittin 151 without a LOT of work and only a T25...

yea I laughed a little on that one myself :icon_lol:

With an add like that sounds like the turbocharger is probably shot and the bearings slap wore out. I would stay away from that one low mileage or not.

I live about 30 miles north of there, think about going down this weekend and taking a look see

As I've said before, the older cars would allow the engagement of 4th gear at WOT resulting in a higher top speed. Our cars are limited to 128mph. The typical chipped TGP could hit 150ish with no speed governor, but it wouldn't be getting there very quick..

That TGP looks to be in really nice shape. :icon_cool:

Looks good minus the spoiler.

I'd like to see him run a 14.2 in stock trim.

i think you could

GOT2B GM · July 09, 2008, 12:32:19 PM

downhill with a tail wind maybe

meltboy11 · July 09, 2008, 12:46:24 PM

if by downhill you mean bein dropped from a plane then ya, it might hit that speed... lol
I cut out at 122 not cuz of the governor, that's just all my car has in it, and honestly, as funny as this may sound, before I fixed my bumper and valence, I stopped at 121... lol

oh i was saying you could run a 14.2 with stock turbo.

GOT2B GM · July 09, 2008, 09:57:53 PM

The fastest recorded time for a LG5 with a stock T25 is 14.4

Kuntzie ran low 14's on the stock turbo. I *think* he clicked off a few 14.0's@100mph. There is at least one other person that ran 13's(a long time ago) with a stock turbo.

IDK. He swapped to that 2871R fairly soon after buying the car off of Skalor.
