Just sharing My buddies 470whp balt... Stock internals minus springs n cams.
 
I bought the car because of the beautiful styling, the rarity, and the fact that it really makes a statement. It handles insanely well, and it's quick.

Would I rather it was RWD? Obviously. Does the wheel hop piss me off? Yep. But I'm not going to shell out thousands to try to make the car what I know it isn't.

If I wanted a punch-you-in-face fast car for 35k, I would have an SS Camaro 1LE. That thing humiliates an M5/6. Alas, I have different priorities (for now).

No offense, no one asked what you want. Go shit in ur own thread. Idk how you consider a Camaro "fast" nor where u get U think i paid 35k, but my regal has already walked an ss, still 10k $ under a new ss price. Sure, you want a fast car buy a fast car. I'm making it what i want it to be, just like all other car enthusiast in this hobby. I'll put money on it that u park a "punch u in the face fast Camaro" next to mine at a car show, bitches be flockin to the beerick.
 
I am wondering why you decided to say that in this thread? He is merely posting up what he is doing to his car; he didn't ask for anyone's opinion, and he certainly didn't ask if you would do this to your car...

The thing is, he is putting money into this car to make it how he wants it. Who are you to judge? You don't have to comment if you don't agree lol

Anyways.. Looks great next to the 'balt. Are your Brembos red? Did you paint the rears also? I'd love to see if we could get a rear Brembo set, that'd be sweet.

First, I'm not "shitting" in anything. I simply stated my opinion, like a dozen other posts here pointing out the limits of FWD. You didn't bitch about those, yet for some reason did mine? I'm glad you're upgrading the car, I think it's badass, I was just pointing out what I thought were the better qualities of the car for those of us that will never be able to take on that level of modification.

Also, exactly how are you $10k under a new SS? A new SS 1LE is 35k MSRP, so i'm not sure how that's remotely possible. It's also a four and a half second car, and raped the M cars around the track, so I'm not sure how you don't think that's fast. I was just using the $35k number since that's probably the average price of a new GS, which most people around here seem to have. If you're buying a brand new car for 35k, I don't know how you could do much better performance-wise than the SS 1LE. It's that or the STI. I don't know why this upsets you so much.

i didnt buy new... Im not upset or butt-hurt, I just dont know why you find it necessary to chime in on my thread about how you wouldn't spend money on modding this car because it will never be that type of car. It isn't your cash, nor your car so IDK why you would even waste your time explaining what you wouldn't do. This thread was created so I can share my experience and offer help if there are people that want to go this route. Mod for mod on a n/a v8, ive spent a third less and gained twice as much HP, but that's irrelevant. As you can tell i am really not impressed with the camaro ss, it really does not seem like a stout car stock. Why even compare an STI, thats a whole nother' ballgame. We already discussed the limitations of front wheel drive, but it seems to be a gray area. Really, i can hook just as good with a nice set of radials on the regal, as i can my GTO or my TBSS before i sold it. Anythings possible until you start breakin the 8 second mark with FWD.... but i really don't care about all that.

A 2012 Mustabg Boss 302 kills the 1le. A 2012 Boss with a Kenne Bell Blower shits on the 1le with 785rwhp or 930 crank if you are counting. Who cares?? Not me as i owned The said Boss above. I LOVE what Kranz is doing to his regal. I was tortured daily on the forums for supercharging the "almighty Boss" who cares? It was fun!!

Kranz is a winner..! Willing to take a route nobody did before on a Regal is epic !
Congrats for this wonderful thread allowing us to learn about what's about taking engine to its limits.
 
What an amazing sleeper and this thread was a good read. Love the sound and you definately woke her up.
 
I could be mistaken…but I thought this was a thread about Kranz and all the updates and goodies being done to the car. I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread. Talking about other makes and models doesn’t quite seem to make sense in this thread. Keep us updated with more pictures and vids Kranz. Everyone enjoy your Saturday Eve. Nostrovia! :cheers:

And I could buy a $10K LS1 Fbody and spend $10K in mods and demolish your 1LE on the strip, the track, or the street for half the price. What's the point in having a $/hp pissing contest here? Let the guy enjoy his car. It's not like he's trying to build a single digit Chevy Spark. People have gone far more radical with the LNF then what he's doing.
