Same car as an xr6 turbo but goes slightly slower and uses much more fuel. awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went for a ride in a gt with a tune and it was insane. v8 sound + easy power and supercharger already on there. weeeeeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
