Honestly cruising and pulling of to the side to just chat and hang with other car guys is much more enjoyable then racing from light to light.

Quoted for truth. I have seen way to many accidents cause from inexperienced drivers and to put it nicely proving there manhood. Just because you drive somthing fast doesn't mean you want to race it all the time.

i could have bought an alero for cheap with only ($1,400 I think?) 70,000 on it :nono: kick myself for not doing it

Yep those cars are good cars the 3.8 runs forever even tho the aleros have the 3.4 they're all good cars

oh okay, I guess not then :lol: I've heard a lot of good stuff on the 3.8- probably one of the best motors GM ever made next to the 5.7

(i'd add 400 and 454 as superb motors too)

Are those the supercharged ones? My best friends girlfriend has a GXP with the same motor I think? I was like "your car's supercharged??" She was like "what does that mean?" :nono: I need to find a mechanically-inclined girl.

Don't get me wrong, it can be enjoyable sometimes, but I don't enjoy it very often. Then again I'm at tracks all over the country 4 nights a week so maybe it's just me.
