Finally went ahead and bought a car

[foff667]

its an 00 GTP...already pretty pimped out with rims, system, some suspension work, new slotted rotors up front, some bolt ons blah blah blah bought it from a dealer for $8900 w/ 62k on the clock...the heads up display is pretty kewl...should take delivery on friday hopefully.

[Tru2Chevy]

So it's got a bunch of stuff that make it heavy.....did the guy bother to add a pulley while he was at it?

not sure...like i said it was a dealer car, its a distinct possiblity...it had some sort of jet module thing in the drivers compartment but i have no clue what it does lol...nice borla catback though its quiet as ****...and this thing is optioned to the tilt.

[Tru2Chevy]

That's cool.

Well, I suppose I'll be seeing you soon at www.w-body.com, huh?

Nah, there are actually quite a few ppl there that know what they are talking about....and it's not like it's hard to weed them from the idiots.

You will prolly be better off at www.clubgp.com anyway.

i will say the car looks badass....i didnt get a chance last night before my internet died....nor today on my lunch but i'll post pics asap.

[foff667]

and the blower sitting on top of the motor just adds to the sexyness :)

[foff667]

well i found out what one thing the car has is...its a performance pcu by jet...runs about $245 normally and supposed to add 14-16hp :roll: so we'll see how ghetto rigged this crap is and rip that out...if anyone wants this for their 1996-2003 series II 3800 v6 na or sc it'll work (plug & play) :) best offer takes the hunk of crap hehe. Did i mention hptuners works on my car?

[Tru2Chevy]

Did i mention hptuners works on my car?

Are you gonna buy it?

of course...its only $400 to add it onto my existing cable :)

[AliWantsNss]

Congrats on the new ride.

[ar0ck]

Congrats bill, those GTPs are pretty kick ass grocery getters.

[Squirrel]

leave the quiet borla on it...i havent heard a charged 3800 that doesnt sound like crap...well, except for when blower whine drowns it out :D

generally I like the car alot other then the box in the trunk & stupid jet pcu thing...the cars basically a pre-pared toy :) already 80% done that is hehe...I'll get it on a dyno, tune it a bit with hptuners...if he already doesnt have a pulley and or housing I'll get that, maybe a header, we'll see hehe.

[Tru2Chevy]

maybe a header

Don't shortchange yourself Bill, get both headers (the engine will respond better that way) :P

- Justin

[foff667]

thx, they definitly can be cool cars for a "family" car...even the sc regal's arent that bad, but these are a little more sporty looking/feeling.

[foff667]

oh yah thats right...all i remeber is looking in the engine compartment and seeing the front manifold...you know how it is with 4 bangers you can see the one right in the front :roll: duh.

I would have sold you my SS454 pickup if you wanted another Chevy. Or I have a 68 Camaro with an LT1 in it I might end up selling(need money for the 69 Z28) :cry: . I also have a Boston Whaler Rage jet boat I might be selling but I'm not sure you can get to work in that! :lol:

thx for the offers, but there were only a few cars i was interested in getting and even though the lt1 car might have gotten my attention in the end its not something i wouldve wanted...this car will serve the purpose well i think in the end.

Just picture it in your head...its a new style silver grand prix...mint exterior with some phat rims and tinted windows.
