    Hey all. Just bought a new to me 2001 GTP. Drove an hour home with it and it started to sort of hesitate/ spudder at modest acceleration. Any thoughts? I'm really hoping this car isn't a lemon. It has the 3.8L with supercharger. I would appreciate any and all insight. Especially the ones that say "it's no biggy to fix" lol.

    You just bough the car, no indication of mileage, use or abuse, etc. what you have to do is go through the gambit and get all maintenance items mechanically up to par, then if it repeats or has any other issues you can address them.

    I can't tell if this is a bug or a suggestion.
