Here she is.  I had to make the images smaller than normal to get the file sizes down to a reasonable level.



 

Ive always loved Pontiac wheels, they seem to have just that certain simplicity with a bit of flare.



 

The badge that caught my attention and started all this.



 

A very sweet symphony eminates from those pipes that just calls my name and begs me to make them play louder.



 

Driver information center and of course that beautiful boost gauge.  It also has the GM oil life monitor, but unfortunately is not calibrated for synthetics.  They are supposed to be doing that in the next couple years as I understand it.



 

Dual Climate control, CD player.



 

The drivers view.



 

OnStar ready and an electronically controlled glare reducing rear view mirror, power sunroof.



 

A great sounding Bose sound system.



 

This was a hard pic to get, but you can see the Heads Up Display on the windshield.  It displays speed constantly, but will 'pop-up' other information as events occur such as turn signals turn on, high beams, radio station changes, cd track changes, etc.



 

Heated drivers seat.  I guess Jennifer is just going to have to freeze :shock:.



 

And yeah, its got a supercharger.



 

Then engine bay.  A little cramped, but not bad.  I think I have already found room for my by-pass system.  I'll free up even more room when I remove the air box and install an Amsoil air filter.

Im already making a shopping list for when Im down in Florida.  Im probably going to get a smaller pulley since they are pretty inexpensive and the supporting mods for that which would be what they call DHP or Digital Horse Power, which is just a controller as I understand it to keep the knock retard in check among other things, a 160 or 180* thermostat, which i think it already has a cooler Tstat in it cause my coolant temp is not getting past much of 190 or so when crusing and the highest Ive seen it was 210 and this is with the scan tool not the dash gauge.  There are a couple of other cheap things I would need.

As best I can tell I'll spend probaby $400 for the pulley and supporting mods (pulley is only like $60 or so) and with that I should be (at least according to the information out there) pushin 275+ hp and torque near 300 lb/ft.  Which that would put me in the same range as the newer Grand Prix's including the Comp G ones and the newer Altima's and Maximas which are all pushing around 265hp.  Should be a lot of fun to say the least.

Alright alright... I approve. It is quite a pretty car, and I love HUD's, and I love boost...

You're still a bastid though because it's not a Focus. But it is quite nice. I love the color, too.

You need to ditch those stock wheels though. Some '04 Z24 Cavy chrome 5/10 spokes would really set that car off. Or some nice chrome 19's.

A quick Q: Would the Driver info center be a DIC?
