Damn what a nice car. Took one for a spin the last few days when me and my gf went up to wasage for a getaway.

Such a beautiful car, I was impressed, even for a domestic. I would take that car, well, the GTP which is even better in a flash if it came in manual.

It has gobs of torque, ready to pass at any time, I was crusing around 2000 rpm coulnd't hear the engine at all, was a very solid ride, steering was excellent, everything about this car was great.

Yeah, i've sat in one, but i haven't driven one.

Awesome car though.

They are awesome cars, my dad rented one when his Cavalier was in the shop and I took it for a spin and it's quick, only problem is that they only come in auto, would be nice if GM would offer a manual version.

imported_corcoran_chris

Cynikal.Mindset

Crash_Rx7

ya the GTP are very nice, my dad has a 98 GTP
but he runs a
13.2 1/4 mile
Trap: 103 mph
60ft : 1.9???
he is just waitin on his built engine to come back

imported_loudsubz

haha yeah and the civics interior is made of guci (sp)

Gunmetalef

thats quick... is that stock too?

yO

at least the new vette's stepped up the interior... the previous gen's looked like any other chevy.

Yeah they are nice cars, I loved them off when they came out with the new model in '97 when I was in high school. There are a few people who have converted them to manual using the Muncie MG2 transmission (found on older FWD GM's) But for some reason I thought that during the first couple of years...'97/'98 that they were available in manual with the 3.8 s/c but I don't think so. But hey once I start typing I won't stop so i'll leave it at this

A guy who used to work with me just picked one up. It's got oodles of torque - something you'd expect from a large v6. He had the leather interior. Nice car. I'd prefer a mid 70's jag with a chev 350 swap as I am just that kind of kooky guy...

Crash_Rx7

no its not stock, only internal work is rockers thou
new engine has from custom grind cam, to custom pistons
nothing from zzp or intense (who r the main suppliers of GP parts)

the car should run faster, its that his car would not switch into 3rd gear so he had to let off, and let it shift, but with some more custom tunning it has all changed

ya thats 2nd gear at 103 mphs

Type_R Del Sol

my buddies dad just got 1.. black with chrome rims... its phat

shlammed

what about the new 350hp GTO's?

jinxedZ

Those GTO's are very sweet... but they are like 40K+, no?

The new Grand Am's are also very nice, my parents were going to buy one but opted for an Impala instead. Meh.

Creepin_B

My mom has a 99 GTP, I blew the crank case..Anyways the motor is actually being replaced as we speak.. Then selling the car.. Absolutely an amazing car though.. Comfy, Luxurious..

And now shes getting the 04 GTP Tiptronic..Or possibly the GTO

Cant wait to get insured on one of those.....!

imported_kunfuzed

i use 2 own a 98 GTP loved the car to death very fast car
but one 2 many speeding tickets and the car had 2 go plus with the rise in gas price i was to expensive 2 keep on the road

Creepin_B

Yes, Your damn right Shes FAST AS HELL.. Once the pedal goes to the metal, Boost gauge kicks in, Supercharger on and VAMMM shes gone.

imported_kunfuzed

yo crash did ur dad put the smaller pulley on as well?
i did that with mine and there was a noticable difference
also had the custom intake, and the tranny shiftkit

aftermarket parts are expensive for this car i beileve it was like a grand for the headers U.S dollers

spracingsports

i drove a GTO..... wasnt impressed...... it just felt like a mustang or camaro.... nuthing special
