NOS2006

What I'm looking at right now is a '98 GP GTP with 92k miles. Only problem is the guy won't go under $5200. He said it's got new wheels, new radiator, fresh transmission/coolant flush, and a few other things, but still.. $5200 is a little steep for me. I've got to check it out though... Yeah, I've already got a few hundred dollars worth of stuff I can sell on ebay...

I just need like $1k-2k ASAP to prove my dad I've got the funds to get this car I'm looking at. Any ideas on something to do? Can I sell my soul? lol

Oh dear, they made it even worse..

Yeah. I talked it over with my parents and we think it's a good idea.Oh, and comparing a Cobalt to a GP? Yeah, the GP would be cheaper on all accounts.

Dude, that's weird. I don't even know what to make of that picture. It looks like a I6 put in there transversely, but the pulleys are on the side of the block, making it seem like the crank would be perpendicular to the engine. That's confusing as hell.

haha that's not funny. Even if I get a new car, I'll be stuck with a Series II.

Yeah, I almost forgot about needing 91 octane. But, hell, I use 89 as is, so that's only 10 cents per gallon more. Oh, and I looked up some quotes online at statefarm.com: For a 1998 Camaro coupe, pricing for me alone was $1190/six months. For a 2002 Grand Prix GTP sedan with the same exact options as the Camaro, pricing for me alone was $979/six months. That right there is saving me about $35/month. That's sweet.

You win:

Well, as mentioned in another thread, hopefully my next car purchase will be a '97-03 GP GTP. I'm looking real hard for one.

You're the joke.

Not me, I think this thing is absolutely gorgeous. Exactly how the GMT900s should look, IMO.

Oh snap, can you say SS?

Give it: 1. More of a rear bumper 2. Different headlights 3. The top of the grille should match up with the bottom of the grille (where they meet the crossbar) Then it would be perfect. It looks great as is.

What this means to you: Holy f@#king $h!! They just brought back RS! Coincidence that it's about a year before the Camaro hits the streets?

First billion dollar paint job.

All I can say is I remember the one dude that was kind of an assistant-teacher in my auto class having one. He pulled next to me and blew my doors off.. it was crazy. But, not only that, those are some sexy cars with good MPG.

Update: when my parents were saying goodbye to me tonight, my dad told me I should get rid of my car. I was like, okay? He said that it's just a new problem all the time so to get something else. I guess this means that maybe I can afford a GTP now..

Either way though, I'll need a winter car. I'm not driving the Camaro this winter.. it doesn't get me from Point A to Point B in snow. Therefore, it's not just $500 <$4000. And, it's not just $500, again, because I'll end up with a paint job one way or another.I know you're trying to help though.. so thanks.

No, I love my car, but I need some things fixed that will cost me some good time/money ($500 for rear main, air conditioner, exhaust leak). Plus, it doesn't get too good of MPG like it could. The GP GTP gets 17/29 MPG with a 1/4 mile time close to mine. That's insane. If I can pick up a GP GTP for $4000 I'll have a more stable car, better MPG, and a car I can drive year-round. Plus, it's an attractive car. With a little bit of exterior work (removing badges/side molding, clear turn signals, 40th anniversary spoiler), it would arguably be a better looking car than mine is. If I keep my car, I'm going to end up wasting about $4000 on a paint job... I just don't know. I have an emotional connection with my car, especially since it was my parents' gift to me, but I just don't know. We've discussed getting rid of it before (remember the Cobalt SS SC I wanted but couldn't afford?).

First, yeah, I know the L67s were found in many other applications. I've just got my mind caught up on GPs. Second is no, my Camaro's not involved. L67 setups do not fit in 4th Gen F-Bodies. Thanks for the info though, guys. This weekend, since I'm at home for the weekend, I started looking for a nice winter car. Well, I'm pretty stuck on the '97-03 GP GTs. However, I've seen a couple damn good deals on GTPs. Only problem though is that I couldn't afford to straight up put down all the money on the table for a GTP (many of them are for sale by owner), but I'd love to have one. If I were to buy a GTP and like it a lot, which I bet I would, I might be willing to sell my car to catch up on the money I paid for the GTP. But who knows, this is all hypothetical right now and who knows what's going to happen. I'll probably just end up with a GP GT..

Yeah, couldn't think of the code for the NA version (the SC is the L67). Anyway, what are the differences between the two? I know the L67 is supercharged and only fits in GPs, but are there any forged internals? In other words, could you pretty much take a regular NA 3.8 Series II Grand Prix and throw on an M90 supercharger (andthe spark plugs and all that) and have an L67 right there? Or is there more to it? Just curious. Thanks in advance.

Told ya so.

Wow.. I didn't realize it comes in AWD.

The poor woman's gone senile.

I think that just ruined it for everybody except reg.
