Hello from columbus ohio

Post by pontiacfreak142 »

Hey everyone. i was at work today and saw a bonneville that had a window sticker from this site so i decided to check it out. My name is Gary and i live in a somewhat small town just east of columbus ohio. I just recently picked up a 2000 bonneville LE as my daily driver. ive had it for about 3 months now and love it. My other car (my play toy) is a 1996 firebird with the 3.8 V6 (love me some 3.8L LOL)

some pics..

Welcome!! Your Bonne is actually an SE model, not LE. The LE trim was abolished after the 1991 model year. :wink:
Bye Bye:

its has a small cam (210/220 512 lift) pacesetter headers, magnaflow catback, CAI, 3500 stall, b&m shift kit, torsen posi with 3.73 gears and have 4.10's sittin in my room waitin to go in. i wish it actually was fast lol. Its gone 13.7 @ 96 mph with a 1.91 60'. i do think the car has more in it though with a better track and better driver mod. On a cool day at a crap track last year, i managed a 1.82 60', but i was dodging and hitting pot holes all the way down the track lol.

Hello from Granville, Ohio! I'd like to know what kind of Bonneville you saw, because, funny story, none of the Columbus members of Pontiac Bonneville Club actually own a Bonneville anymore! Anyways, welcome and make yourself at home, there's a lot of great people here with knowledge oozing from their mouths!
