Love/Hate about the grand prix/am

[sevenhellz]

what are your favorite things and things you hate about your grand prix or grand ams?

for me i love everything except for the cheap plastic interior and the road noise.
everything else is amazing and ill be dynamating the entire car so the road noise will be leaving me soon.

2007 grand prix base fully loaded.

I hate everything about grand ams, they're the devil. Grand prix are okay though.

I've got ripped sway bar links and bushings, rusted strut mounts and towers.

Running original struts and springs at 218k miles.

Car still corners better than my friends cars

Of course it's never going to handle like a sport car, simply because it isn't one, it's a slow and fat fwd grocery getter. But you can still improve by a big margin its handling.

Ohhhh this is my kinda thread.

Everything from the tires up on the GA
On the GP, well it has an engine and trans that I kinda like. The rest of the car is junk. Specially the 97-03's. GM had it right when they gave it a 3.1 motor. It's not a sports car, One seat heater, no gauges (lego block boost gauge...I've laughed at you guys for years on that one), sways that crack, worlds worst seats, 2.25" exhaust hahahaha

I have owned the concept car Grand am SC/T with the supercharger. That grand am was fun! Gm was STUPID for not putting it in production. I have also owned a Grand am GT that yes sucked.....but it put up with alot!!! As for my GTP's......really heavy, window motors keep going out, and gas gauge keeps messing up.

I also own a G8 GXP.....only con there is that it has road noise.

I love the roomy interior of the 97-03. Makes it easy for me to get in and out.
The 04+ is a much quieter car, but it's harder for me to get in and out. Probably something with being a 4 door instead of 2.

I love the motors and transmissions on either years.

Transmissions that can't hold stock power much less what some of us throw at them
