    Hi, I just wanted to say Hi. Just got a 98 GTP with 171k. Alot of miles yes but car was well taken care of by previous owner. What kind of hp does this thing put out? With 171k Im sure its not too much Although to me it does seem quick. I do have that stupid leak in passenger side I am trying to fix also an oil leak. Beyond that car seems great. i look forward to learning on here. Also should I put a k&n filter on would that help out any???

    Just do a regular tune up and you should be good to go.
