I feel the same way, I live in South West Wyoming and we have already had snow on the ground several times this month. But, a Grand Prix will never reliably run a 10 sec 1/4 and still be driveable in the winter. you could buy a TEP trans with all the bells and whistles and spend under 4K. you could buy a new turbo kit that will max out the power handling capability of the trans for another 4K, and the car might run 12's. with used parts it would cost far less.
