Guest Anonymous Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I have plans of the TGP motor in my 89SE with the 5-speed from the 90 LE I bought for the motor. BUT I just found a 92 Z24 in great shape with the 5-speed already in it. The tranny and clutch are new but the motor is shot. Which would you turbo? Please explain why you voted how you did.

rudefyet Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I pick Z24 Lighter body...newer car...plus i'm not a huge fan of the 88-90 SE ground effects also bigger aftermarket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippie Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Depends, how tall are ya' ? I'm 6'2" and have a helluva time squeezing into a J-body..... Lighter IS faster but not if you can't get in it to drive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 6'2" and fit in a J-body fine...you trying to drive from the back seat IMO this poll is going to be a little biased since it is on a w-body board...maybe try it on 60degreeV6.com too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TurboSedan Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 i think the Z24 would just plain be more fun. joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patgizz Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 z24 just cause its so light compared to the GP and i know you arent a big guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Dubya Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Well I would vote z24 for two reasons. First, the ground effects on the z24 are already there, and those cars are fun to drive. When they changed the body style they got a lot smaller, and I used to have one with a 3.1 and it hauled ass. For two, then your GP 5spd collection could become mine. Hahaha. Seriously though, how nice is the GP? If it's in good condition maybe you should stick with the original plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 The GP needs mior bodywork and paint. The interior is good. I would definately miss the GP's handling if I go with the Z24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pblunt_ Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Stick with the GP, if you were not turboing? I'd say the Z24. But cavaliers don't offer alot of space to work under the hood for later. And take the nice relax feel of a W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 GP= W-body= GOOD!!!!!! No Jbodys!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep, a Crapalier is a Crapalier. Even a 500HP Crapalier is still just a well-polished turd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I just called back about the car to see about going to look at it. This time I got the husband. IT'S NOT A Z24. It's a Z34. Anyone want a 5-speed Z-34 to put a motor in? But on a better note, I'm going right now to look at a '91 Grand Prix. The windshield needs replaced. Like I don't have those sitting here. lol 90,000 miles 2-door, 3.1/auto. $250. I'll be back with pics later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 get a 91-93 Z-24 5spd 'Vert....then turbo the stock 3.1........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaroonRegal Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I know it doesn't matter anymore but I voted Z-24 because I once test-drove a 5-speed 3.1 '93 Z24 and it was reasonably fast. With a TGP engine in it...it would be a screamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patgizz Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 yes i want a 5 speed z34 what do they want for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Z24. Stock, those little cars with the 3.1 5 speed were fairly quick, so with a turbo, it should move like a bat out of hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 yes i want a 5 speed z34 what do they want for it The ad says make offer. What are you willing to pay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patgizz Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 200 bux(i'm cheap and i dont know anything about it other than its a 5 speed) but it looks like i will be using all my money to build a big block so i cant buy it even if they accepted that lowball offer.

I asked what he would like to get so I know where to start. Again...make offer. OK, how about $300? He gets all pizzed and says no way, I've had better offers. I said, I guess that's why I asked what you'd like to get. What do you expect when you say make offer? Keep your f'n car you f'n retard. I hope noone buys it. *click* I hung up on him. What an idiot.
