    I just bought my first 2000 GTP yesterday. So far, I really like it. I'm impressed with the amount of power this car has!

    Black on Black and is completely stock and very clean.

    ya with some research i noticed how alot of cars i see on the road that i thought were slower than a GTP were actually on par or faster. Then i realized gtp's arent much special until theyre modded. back on topic, read this and it should guide you in the write direction TC http://www.grandprixforums.net/safel...0-a-67580.html

    I wasn't interested in anything else. I've loved the looks of these cars since they came out. I traded in my 2000 GMC Jimmy for it, LOL

    Amazing this car can squeel the tire rolling 30mph at WOT...
    Not quite as amazing as my GN though... 65mph WOT it lays 2 black marks for as long as you want a bit scary.

    Honestly I assume it's stock. 182,500 miles but runs great.
    It has Toyo tires.

    My tires are Toyo Extensa A/S 225/60R16 97T 620/A/B

    I just got a set of AutoLite 606 CU core plugs and a 180` TStat. Installing these this weekend. By far this is the best daily driven car I've ever owned. Besides when I used to drive the Buick GN everyday, LOL

    Pontiac Performance Racing Products for International Sales from SSAutochrome Inc.

    Or Ebay Search for "Speed Daddy" Headers for the 97-03 GPs. These are the best bang for your buck and it will help get rid of alot of restrictions in the exhaust without breaking the bank.

    More info on them in http://www.grandprixforums.net/heade...ead-25922.html but Start with a DIY CAI and headers and it will really open up the car. Then tune, play with smaller pulley (3.4/3.5" depending on the car) and she will start to become a monster.

    BTW ... MOAR PIX!!!
