Default New Owner Of...

I went out and bought a 1997 Grand Prix Supercharged 3.8 GTP to add to the stable. I has 80K on the engine and is running a wiz-aired intake, 1.9 rockers instead of the factory 1.6's, SS Headers with Hi-Flo Cat, and a ZZP 3.4 modular pulley system instaed of the factory 3.8. I picked it up for 2 grand and it runs great. Has awesome pick up... I'd say pretty darn close to the GXP. Not as torquey right off the bat though. It is dark green metallic with tan leather interior. I don't have to do a thing to this car. I like this car almost as much as the GXP. The only negative is the exhaust sounds like ****. It also had GMPP front and rear sway bars and KYB GR-2 struts. I will try to take some pics later on this week.

Thanks. I get 31 mpg on the hwy and 23 in the city. Not bad for a mid 13 second car.
