IF the car was done correctly and TUNED correctly, it should be over 300HP with a 3.4 and supporting mods.

In 04 the GP GTP didn't come with an L67, it came with an L32 (which is better).
The 8 second ZZP GP isn't really a Grand Prix anymore though. It's a tube chassis car with a GP shell and drivetrain in it. Intense Racing use to have a similar 8 second GP, but they sold it a few years ago.
As far as the OP's story, there's no reason the guy in the GP should have been talking crap, if it's stock at least. If it's modified though, then watch out. An L67 with just a cai, headers, and a 3.4" pulley would beat an LS4 Monte. Also, don't claim to have more hp then you do because someone who knows these cars could think poorly of you. You're probably looking at 310-315hp with those mods.
Regardless, you should have raced him. Even if he was modified, it wouldn't have taken much to beat a car with 5 guys in it, lol. That's a lotta weight.

Yeah, it was easy enough to tell they were probably drunk or heading to/from a party and just talking trash..I am guilty of padding my number a bit :p but ofc you are right it is probably around 310-315, but they definitely didnt know any better, and had they not been in a turn lane i may have thought about it, but I do unfortunately have one ticket on my record for a while yet..so I usually play by the rules now.
I'd think one rev with an ls4 woulda shut em up real quick

I know I always get quiet when it sounds like there is a fly buzzing around by my window.
