Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

MODS:
3.25" Supercharger Pulley (stock is 3.8")
Ported Exhaust Manifolds
3" Downpipe
Full Exhaust
Hi-Flow Cat
Alcohol Injection
1.9:1 ratio rocker arms
Custom PCM w/ adjustable timing (currently running +2)
Custom Intake
Dual Piston calipers w/ 12" rotors
245/50/16 high performance summer tires (hopefully it doesnt snow too much )

I think that pretty much covers it. Runs around a 13.3sec 1/4 mile @ ~105

ya but its a PONTIAC!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the G35, both coupe and sedan. There aren't many here in Ohio (but seeing more and more). Personally, the 350z looks a little too much like a matchbox car for me. I just get that feeling from it. I'd rather have the G35 even though it looks less sporty.

These things are all over the east coast, though, for some reason. I see lots of Nissans/Subarus and whatnot out there that you don't see much of here in the interior.

I knew that was coming

I got it cuz Im still in school and wanted something I could make fast for not too much money. I will either get an M3 or a Cobra next.

I am about to graduate with an aerospace engineering degree. Working hard and splitting rent leaves a decent amount as "surplus"

Thanks. My friend has grand prix too and runs 12.7 @ 110. A few other guys have made it into the 10s.

Since you are an aerospace engineer, I take it your GP has spoilers and wings and stuff right?

j/k

What car would be complete with out a 3 deck spoiler? Seriously though, no spoiler, just the stock deck lid. I never saw the appeal of apperance mods. I'd rather have the car go fast as opposed to look fast.

Good decision getting the sedan. The coupe is a huge waste. It weighs the same and is the same size and wheelbase, with less space. With the sedan you're getting MORE for your money, and it can be Qshippish.

 

[zoiks]

BTW, did you lease it or buy it? When I was searching for my G35 from private owners, most had leased one and were looking for someone to take over to buy the car from the bank.

I leased this one. Its only going to be a weekend/backup car. My BMW ended up being a huge moneypit over the course of ownership. I think I sank about $7K into it in repairs and when I traded it in, it probably needed a new clutch, radiator, lights, etc. I'm willing to pay a little more to not deal with the hassles of long term ownership anymore, at least for the second car.

 

[Quixfire]

Congrats, I hope the both of you are very happy together.

 

[DoOLiE11]

grats!

 

[Tremulant]

Very nice. My dad has an '04 coupe, so I drive that around a bit. It'll be mine when the lease on my car runs out (in like 2 years ).

I love the new rear end on the sedans though.

Hehe. She's 5'4". Its always a pain to get into the seat right after she uses it. I always smash my hip against the steering wheel which is why I made sure to get the memory seat option. My BMW didn't have it and it was such a hassle having to readjust the seat and mirrors everytime we alternated driving.

How's Afghanistan btw? You holding out ok?
