    Is an 99-03 Grand Prix GTP a good first car?

    I will have around $1100 to spend when I get it could I break into the 13's with that?

    Are there any differences between the coup and the 4 door models?

    yes and yes.


    Not much difference. The coupe's are actually an inch longer than 4 door models. Go figure.


    You'll be making a good choice.

    Well it's really up to you. But as far as performance goes..... Don't touch the pulley on the car untill you have some exhaust and intake mods.

    a basic 3.4 setup will run 13s all day long.

    i would go with headers, intake, ported or aftermarket throttle body, maybe even some rockers, then a 3.4 with a good tune. i would say easy 13's with that.
