2005 pontiac grand prix gtp
 

My Girlfriend is looking for a new car and likes the grand prixs, so im suggesting that she gets the supercharged 3.8. Well see how shopping goes. Just wanted to know if anyone has any experience with these or if theres any major problems known. Thanks guys

any info you need is there...cant go wrong with a grand prix :D

lol thought ud like this mike. I really want her to get the gtp but she might need to get the gt

GTP gets better gas mileage if you keep your foot out of the gas :lol:

theyre pretty good cars, transmissions are the weak link, they tend to go out upwards of 120k miles

I've heard good things about all the GM 3.8s, na and supercharged. There was that recall, but its not that big of a deal. Its supposed to be one of GM's best engines ever produced.

I would look into an 06. I belive when they revamped the GP's, the rear seat cusions were horrid, low and had ****** padding.
06 and newwer have better seating.

tell her to buy a low mile 2003 and put a whipple on it :D

l67 is a strong motor. just be glad its not mated with a 4t60 trans. the 4t65 is a lot better but do still tend to kill themselves. i know there was some sort of a fuel rail problem with certain years, not sure if it happens anymore though. but good cars nonetheless.

what years did the 4t60 trans come with? and why 2003 mike? thanks for all the info guys. im starting to get her to lean more to the gtp :) gonna put a pully, cai, exhaust, and prob a tune on it. any one know what kinda numbers/times these things put up?

97-03 look better 8-)

the 97-03 and pretty sure 04+ have the 4t65e and 4t65e-hd

dont go to low with the pulley with only those mods

sorry but not lovin the way the 97-03s look champ:) yours is sexy though dont worry. ya i no or the boost will be too high. what size pulley would be good?

Scan it, then go one size smaller, then scan it again. There is no "standard size" that all cars can handle. On the 97-03's some can run a 3.4" with no issue, on others it's KR city even with the same mods. Yes, the 04+ cars have a different setup but the fundamentals are the same.

k sounds good thanks alot

I thought you were looking for <$5k?

had a bonneville with the 3.8L S/C just a fun car, come up along side some people and really get them to drop their jaw seeing a big car move

no now shes gonna get a bigger loan, she was just gonna get a gt but im springing the extra money for the gtp cause ill be driving it alot. lol ya love to see a 3600 lb 4 door move
