How's about it? My Girlfriend's Pontiac vs. My Max!
Both cars are stock automatics -- no supercharged nuthin' here...
I think I can take her...

Your car auto? 5spd? is her car s/c, n/a? If sheez s/c and you're 5spd, it should be good with you winning @ the end, if sheez n/a and your auto, you will win in the higher rpm, if sheez n/a and you're 5spd, you'll rape her, if you're auto and sheez s/c she'll win, maybe.....

Depends if the Bonneville is supercharged or not. A SC'ed Bonneville is pretty quick. If you have a 5-spd, it will be about even with a SC'ed Bonneville. But even an automatic Max will trounce a non SC'ed Bonneville.

I forgot where I read that a s/ced Bonnevile runs 7.5 and 15.5 60mph and q/mile, maybe cuz of it's heavier weight, but if that is the case u may be able to stay w/him in a modded auto.

Go for it

The SCed Bonneville are the SSEI just to set that straight and even if it was and he's an auto he'd still rape her. They are heavy cars and aren't that quick even SC. I just read that a SC bonne will do 8.0 in the 0-60 even an auto Max will beat that.

According to MT, the '96 Bonneville SE with the supercharged 3.8L V6 did 0-60 in 7.7 secs.
