Pontiac Grand-Prix GTP -- Opinions?

[Fluidic]

So... you tell me? 3800 series V6 Pontiac Engine – 240HP – 280 Torque

Pretty extraordinary numbers if you ask me! Anyone here own a newer Pontiac GTP? Anyone have pictures of these beasts??

Cool... peace!!

If you're looking at domestics, check out the Grand Am GT. Even the SEs are really quick.

I'm not looking -- far from it actually -- just interested that's all!

The 2-Door Grand-Prix's somewhat appeal to me... there styling is quite exceptional... and their engines... well... DAMN! LOL

Peace

I really like the GTP's. I think they are a great car. Good clean styling, and ample power.

my mother has a silver 99 gtp fully loaded
its a beast !!!

My uncle has a 2 dr 2002 GTP - the things are amazing! What a beast!

They're pretty good cars. Aside from the fact that they are pretty heavy, they're one of the better cars pontiac produces. They're one of the most reliable cars in GMs lineup, they go like stink, stop reasonably well and handle fairly well too. Only real complaint I ever see leveled against them is the kind of plasticy interiors.

If you want some more information on the GTP, check out The GTP Owners Club

There a Nice Car But For a 3.8 Supercharged engine and only putting out 240 hp For the 3800lbs of Weight and no Manual transmission Like Some one Else Said look at a GA you can get a supercharger for it that will boost horse power to 250 and it only weights 3100lbs Still no manual avalible But hey GM is bringing back the GTO (Monadeo) Think I spelt that right

I own a 97 GTP, I love it.....I have the 4-door, so it's a bigger car...you get a little body-roll when cornering hard, but that's to be expected. Only thing I've done to it is I put a smaller supercharger pulley on it....pops it up to around 270hp.....I love it

How many cars do you have?!?

[redline_13000]

[rx-7heaven]

my dad bought a grand prix gt last year, and really wishes he had gone for the gtp. they're pretty nice cars, but the interior pieces resemble lego...

My buddy has an 02 GTP with a CAI on it. Fast machines.

What "poundage" ( ) of boost are the chargers on the GTP's making?

[T5_X]

pontiac: built for drivers....... yet very little of thier cars are offered with a standard transmission

These are probably the last standard pushrod engines available?

What other cars (not trucks) other than GMs can you buy brand new with a 2 valve/cyl pushrod?

The GTPs are damn nice looking cars, I like the grand am gt styling as well. Pontiac is weird, they have such nice looking cars on one end (trans am, gtp, boneville ssei) and such grotesque styling on the other end (vibe, sunfire, aztek)

GRAND PRIX'S RULE!!!

i only wish i had the GTP lol... i've driven a GTP and they DEFINITELY can handle their own

ranger is right though the downside is the auto tranny but the GTP's do come with a performance shift button (you press it before the auto shift and it will shift, hold it down and it will go past the auto shift)

and man im somewhat new to this forum but where were all of you when i was getting trashed by almost every albertacars.net member when i told them i bought my car!!

they also base their advertising on the Wide Track
body for better handling.. it does handle pretty well... after you install some lowering springs and new struts it should handle amazingly (i'll be able to comment on that in a couple of weeks)

Looks like everybody loves GTP's! I hate how Grand Am's and Grand Prix's, are such nice looking cars on the outside, and the perform pretty well, but look like absolute ASS! on the inside, And whats with thier slogun, " Built for drivers"?? like someone else said, very few of thier cars have Std tranny's, and they are hideuos to look at on the inside!
