Teach me!

**youtalkndame** · 10-22-2010

Hey my name is Amanda. Im new to everything Pontiac. My bf and I just bought me a 01 Grand Prix. That's all I know about it to be honest lol. He is doing his best to teach me everything but apparently i'm not the quickest to pick it up.
I honestly never even liked these cars til I rode in his (supercharged 06). I LOVE his and am now coming around to the idea that maybe not all Pontiacs are gay lol. I apologize if this offends anyone.
Anyhow, I am joining in hopes that I can learn from some true Grand Prix lovers.
So yea....

**noreasonwhyy** · 10-22-2010

all pontiacs are gay. welcome to GPF.

**youtalkndame** · 10-22-2010

Looks like i'll just have to make the most of my gay car then huh? lol. Oh well.

Welcome though...to the lameness...you'll see soon, we all have no lives.

**matt5112** · 10-22-2010

LOL this threads awesome.

You should have bought a GTP. But I guess your BF doesnt trust you with the boost.

**JoshsGTP** · 10-22-2010

Yes GTPs are nice lol, and yes we all have no life lol

Welcome to the forum.

So what do you want to learn?

Here's all that I know from my 6 years of experience of owning a Pontiac (00 GT, 04 Gto, 06 Gto):
Pedal on the left makes car stop.
Pedal on the right makes car go forward.

Her BF (Me) does not trust her in a boosted car, she's been driven mine for a month or so. She wont even go into boost herself untill i drive the car...LOL

**vailskier3** · 10-22-2010

welcome to the forum...

**nfamous** · 10-22-2010

lol i guess i got the wife the right model then..She doesn't boost with the kids in the car.

**03GTPLE** · 10-22-2010

a stock gtp is still a slow pig though.... not a big difference between the GT and GTP..... at least in the 97-03

...shoulda got a GTO or TA if you wanted a non-gay Pontiac (shiftable, RWD)

enjoy your car though!

...yes, lots of people on here that have waaaaaay too much time on their hands.

**gtpinsc** · 10-22-2010

theres major differences performance wise.. ive owned both.

**03GTPLE** · 10-22-2010

hmmm... well, good thing I haven't driven a GT then.... my GTP is a dog... even modded... oh well, at least it's not very expensive to own or maintain...

**matt5112** · 10-23-2010

you call a 3.4 setup modded? LMFAO right.... 3.4 setup is basically what should have been there stock....

arguably it should have been a 3.0 setup with headers. rockers and a full size I/c stock....

so yeah, unless you have head/cam done to your car i'll still consider it mostly stock.

**SilvaMan61** · 10-23-2010

welcome to the site, ponchos suck. on another note heres a local forum you guys should check out. nepontiac.org.

I'll go with you on that...

...it's still slow though

**youtalkndame** · 10-23-2010

Just for the record, I generally don't go into boost cuz I see how much gas he goes through when he drives the car. I would LOVE a fast car like his! I don't have multiple speeding tickets because I enjoy driving slow lol.
I pretty much wanna learn how to care for the car properly myself so I'm not the dumb blonde broken down on the side of the road with no clue what to do. My man is handling that part of my schooling though.
Other than that I just want tips on how to make the car sexy. Cuz right now it's pretty gay lol.
So maybe some pics of ur cars for ideas? Assuming anyone has anything worth looking at lol.
Thanks.

**gtpinsc** · 10-23-2010
