but what i'm saying is the most any alero has gotten to "currently" is 399hp.Â;-)
there just isn't enough engine space/tranny strength to handle alot of power.Â;-) if you want a "go fast" car, there are plenty of others that you can get MUCH higher, and the car is lighter.... (these are termed "deathtraps" in my mind)Â;-)
i'm not discouraging people like spy, spilner, blackjack, and yourself... just from what i've seen, there are better cars to put engine money into.Â;-) IMHO

And 399hp isn't a lot for a FWD street car?? I understand this is your own opinion and I respect that...but you don't need stupid amounts of power to be fast, just the right setup with a decent engine build. Plus, this transmission can take more than people give it credit for, and can be built with stronger parts if you have the budget. And yes there are better/nicer/faster cars to put money into...most of them are more expensive too. Myself, I went to the dealer to buy a Z24 Cavalier I looked at a few times. The day I went to get it, it was sold so I bought this car, it was a nice car I could afford, not thinking I would put any money into it (I mean come on it's a Alero :P)....then I discovered the world of turbos and decided since I'm stuck with this car until I pay it off, I might as well make it into something I like.
Plus, the looks people give me when they hear "pssshhhh" come from an Alero is priceless And I'm not allowed to talk about racing on the street so I'm not going to tell you what I pulled on the other night

hahahah, nobody discourages me but.....well, me. Good points.
Now, why the hell would you want to spend the money on a car that's SUPPOSED to be fast. When I see a viper or a vette go by, i think "yup, there goes another one, who cares. Somebody bought their HP....BFD."
Now, when you see a car just totally smoke your ass with something that's not supposed to be all that fast, it makes a bigger impression.

^i agree completely. but all i'm saying is this car has alot more potential to look good, rather then others cars. where others will look ok, but can be built up like crazy.
personally, when i graduate, i plan on having a decent car for driving around in. probably a winter jeep/truck, then a project car. i'll keep the alero around for a while, then get a different car, but still focus on aftermarket. anyone can buy speed/looks. it takes talent to build it.
