Anyway, I replaced my SRT4 with a modded 99 GTP, smaller pulley, ubend delete, xp cam, headers, catback, shift kit, tune ect ect.

Yesterday some dumbass that is my brother's friend was talking **** about my Grand Prix. Talking about how he could give me 3 cars from a 40 roll and put 5 cars on me by 120 or so. HAHAHA I thought, so we went out to run them.

We raced 3 times, the first time he gave me the 3 cars, and I added about 4-5 more on the way to 120. The next runs after that he self smarted himself and decided to run straight up. And on both runs I put about 6 cars on him each time. After the runs ***** didn't talk **** no more, and was really cool with me. Fast cars earn respect were I come from, so I'm happy I got myelf a pontiac now. He said he mods were a lid, full exhaust, 3.73 gears, and a tune.

Next up on my kill list is my friends STI.

Pffft, whatever man, we all know that it's the car not the driver that accounts for skill.

I think it's pretty obvious that the OP raced a stock LT1 or a V6.

Question: Is there a difference (powertrain-wise) between the GT & GTP?? I want one and found a GT for the low.

You can't leave everyone hanging, tell us the story about this maxima and totaling your SRT4. Also pics if you have them.

This is one of a few reasons I shyed away from the GTP/Grand prix when I bought my daily driver.

-Usually GTP's are driven by kids and beat to ****, and run into the ground.
-GTP's drivers are usually given a bad name by the people who drive them

That and they are so much more expensive than the other cars on the same platform, and I'm not sure why. I got my '02 GS for $4,000 with 130k miles, extremely clean car, every single option, and a one owner car to boot.

The GTP is supercharged. But the GT has higher compression and shorter gears.

GTP is much quicker...usually mid to high 14's stock...and the GT is mid to high 15's..

I almost purchased a GTP but it fell on it's face at 80mph and I just couldn't drive a car with less top end than a stock LT1 car had.

Turd is a relative statement. Doesn't color and consistency account for anything?...

So I'm guessing you're not going to post up where you're from right? Like I said we can find a little bolt-on ls1 for you to race.
