That's not even really a Grand Prix... it just has the Grand Prix body...

You really have to have a love for Monte's and Monte's only to build a 3800 that much, to run 11's or 12's is going to cost you more than $5k

When my powertrain runs out I will build one like this I have 3 years to save up. Then I can build it up and buy another monte for my new daily driver.
