(removed) is this?

[damronjr]

So, I was driving off base this morning after checking in for duty and saw a Pontiac Grand Am SC/T. (removed) is that? It's like supercharged and turboed?!? Any ideas on what the SC/T is? Looked nice, had a nice hood, chrome wheels, all that, overall pretty cool looking, it was a newer model, just never seen the SC/T before.

NM, my lazy @$$ just found it after about 2 seconds of looking! Quote »New for 2005The SC/T Special Edition is offered on the GT1 with composite hood, rear aero wing, Chrome Tech wheels, XM Satellite Radio, leather-appointed seats with SC/T embroidered on seatbacks, SC/T emblem, and chrome exhaust tip.

seems cheap to call something an SC/T and only give it appearance mods.

[northvibe]

hahah yea joatmon, i agree. im with damronjr, it should be supercharged and turbo'd

I haven't seen one yet either, but I'd like to. I agree with the others who said that it seems cheezy to bill a model as "sport" or "performance" when it has the same performance as the basic model. Fits right into the "ricer" concept. "All show, no go" just doesn't make sense to me---it's like, why bother?

It's pretty... slow.14.9sec in the 1/4 mile? I guess we can thank the 4speed automatic for that. It's a waste of a good S/C... Vibe GT numbers:Top speed : 134 mph0-60 mph : 7.3 sec.(manual)0-¼ mile : 15.7 sec @ 92.0 mph(estimated)60-0 braking distance : 118 ft200 ft skidpad : 0.78 g
