hey i have a 97' gp gt i wanted to convert it into a gtp, how would i go about doing this and what all do i need to purchase?

sell your GT and buy a GTP.

I'm not ****ing kidding either.

You either do that or buy a complete GTP engine and transmission with the wiring harness and PCM.

ok so what mods can i do to make it faster, and how much do you think it will cost???

because i know that i wanna get a new suspension which obviously has nothing to do with speed, but i need to know how much everything will cost so i can save up

Your transmission can't really handle modding your engine let alone beating on it.

ok thanks for the info, i just see ppl that have gt's and they have stuff done to them, but hopefully i can save up for a gtp.

only 97 GT's have weak transmissions.

Well weaker than the rest haha

Read the link in my sig.

Have fun with that 4T60E...its junk. Swap transmissions before even thinking about even beating on the car everyday.

You can convert your car to a GTP it's just not easy. It's called Top Swapping. GT motors are high compression motors vs the GTP motors are low compression motors. So if you do swap the top end of a GTP onto your motor it's alot more touchy due to its higher compression.

Do read the link above for more questions and answers.
