Default Local GTP forums?

Is there any local GTP forums for Central tx area? i did a search and couldn't find much. Im trying to find a forum with people in the area selling them. Im not lookin for a ls4 based car though.. Trying to stay with the 3800 supercharged. The dealers around me want crazy prices for whats offered.

Grand Prixs had Super6s between 97-07, 97 and 98 was GT with GTP package, 99-05 was the GTP (04-05 new body), and 06-07 was GT with a different PCM.

No clue about the forum, though.

Only look at 06/07 GTs, however they're more difficult to mod since the PCM is different from the GTPs.

You're wrong. Sorry.

My 04' CompG weighed 3583 lbs. My 97' GTP weighs 3390 lbs.
