Ok folks after serious thought and thanks to Kyle and all who had comments. But i think that i am going to sell the Alero :cry: . I am just running out of room to grow. Most of you know what it is and how much has been done to it ubt here is the list :cry: :cry: :cry:
Magnuson Super Charger W/2.2,2.1,2.5 pullies
One of Two Liquid to Air Intercoolers
2.5 Gallon reserve tank for I/C
Radiator mounted Heat exchanger
Tranny Cooler
MAF Translator Plus
Trans Interceptor
Front and Rear Next Level Strut Bars
Eibach Springs
Speed Hut Face Gauges
GT Mirrors
Custom Ghost Logos on Quarters
MSD Ignition
Rear Mounted battery
New Kuhmo Tires
For those who might be interested PM me or E-Mail me and i can give you more info if you need it. I am already having a hard time doing this so only serious offers please. I want it to go to someone who will appreciate what this car has done and the development it has made with the help of springs to the alero community.
And if all else fails i will have to put it on E-Bay.

Good call, its tough when most 4 cyls out there have more potential than your V6, and it gets damn expensive.

it is not that i am giving up. i just want more and i can't get it out of this set up. i really don't think it is going to go anywhere due to the price tag but i want out of it what i put into it. and it does come with a price :cry: :cry:
so let me know when we need to get together and we can go from there or figure something out.
and yes reddog i am getting a GTO the more i look the more i like
not to hate, but good luck getting out of it what you put into it.
that has as much of a chance as a snowball in hell.
you might get lucky and find someone that would pay it, but the chances are slim.
hell, good luck getting blue book value for it honestly.
modified cars like ours usually do not sell for more than blue book, unless they are a HIGHLY sought after car like a skyline, vette, tuner car, etc....
im just saying, dont get your hopes up that your going to get everything back that you put into it. more than likely, you'll get about 50% of what you spent.

Dude, trust me, I'd swap for a GTO in a heart beat.
But that still doesn't change the fact that my car would smoke yours in all categories :P

Sc make sure you get something with an LSx in it. You won't regret it!
If you want to save some dough pick up a used 02 z28 for cheap with low miles.
If you get bored with the LS1 you can always swap a ls7 in 5 years or do some sore of stroker!
I too was gonna sell the alero but decided to keep it as my winter car.

I don't think you'll beat me as much as you think. I know I'd never see your taillights :P
On a side note, I too want a GTO sooooo bad right now but money is an issue right now. After just paying off the Alero and buying a house, now I have to save up money to pay for a wedding. :glare: to the $$$ spent but :thumb: and :wub: to the g/f.
Anyway, I do not want to get rid of the Alero. My plan is to keep the Redog, even after it dies. When the motor starts to go, I'm going to swap it keep it garaged and buy a new car of a daily driver :thumb: Maybe race the Alero a bit more until the new car gets broken in :thumb:

I've seen your time slips... I'd guess there would be about half a second of difference (judging by what I've seen people run SS's at, I'm planning to go to the track soon, but my numbers won't show too much considering I'm at the highest altitude of any major city in Canada). Just for some rough numbers:
0.5 seconds X ( 90mph / 60 minutes / 60 seconds ) = 66 feet.
So you should be able to see tail lights, but I'm honestly not talking trash, its impressive to get a fairly heavy NA car into the 14's :thumb:

yeah weighing in at a little over 3000 LB's. but what i really think, is the engine is fine, its just that damn transmission on the 3400's that slows these cars down so much.
