    I will be picking up my first Grand Prix tomorrow. I looked at it last night and the notary was closed, so tomorrow, she'll be coming home.

    2002 Grand Prix GTP 40th Anniversary Has the 3800 Supercharged. I must admit, I was quite surprised the power it had.

    I don't like beating on cars. But I stomped it once, while going about 35mph. I could not beleive how that car took off. I could here a whining, I guess the supercharger, It was under the hood. WOW!


    Now..It does have 180,000 on it. My friend who is a mechanic told me to ignore the mileage that these are good engines??

    But it is extremely smooth, and runs perfect. The tranny fluid was very clean, and shifted very smooth. Engine was very quiet. Oil was fuel, and somewhat clean. He said it was time for the oil change in 200 miles.

    The only thing I caught was the anti freeze look like orange/brown. I am slightly colored blind. But my buddy was there, and said don't worry. We'll flush it out, and put the green in. no smoke out the tail pipes, just very clean!

    Drivers seat had a tear...DAMN! Nice seats too. Bummer!

    But I wanted to say hello. I am very excited about this car. I was told sometimes the intake gaskets go, but I will deal with that, if it happens.
