For those of you who have or may know if i were to turbo my GTS would it actually be affective or would it have a lot more power that it would just make the tires spin?

You cannot compare the power of a turboed celi to a stock! Its just not the same car anymore.

Just turbo it, buy stickier tires, and work on launching.

you shouldn't have a problem if you've got good tires. Get it if you've got the spare 3-5k laying around plus labor to get a turbo put on your car.

Kinda a weird question.. THe best answer is... Engine gives power to wheels more power to the engine more power to the wheels... Doesn't that kinda make sence????

a stock gt can spin the tires if you do it right. the gts doesn't have the same low-end torque, though, which is what actually causes the tires to break free and spin ir slip. it shouldn't be a problem if you launch correctly, or for daily driving, you won't/shouldn't have any problems.

a gts torque peaks higher, the gt lower, more for daily driving. however, i know you know your stuff, Lucky, so if you could elaborate, then i'll trust your info.
