    Alright, first off I currently drive a 2000 Grand Prix SE, and yes it has the 3.8 V6. It has enough horsepower for me to overtake a Chevy 350 V8 if I felt so inclined. The 200 horsepower is actually quite a lot for such a small car, and it's definitely enough for driving to and from school everyday. But lately, I've been thinking of getting a new(er) car. Right now I'm thinking about getting a 2006-2009 GXP, because 303 horsepower is a big step up from the 200 of the V6. I've done my research, I know all about them. And I was just wondering if you guys knew what would be the best year to get. I preferably don't want the paddle shift gear box, I want just the straight automatic (leave the paddle shifters for Formula 1). But I also want the GXP to be able to handle adding mods, like a turbo or supercharger. I've looked at some supercharger kits, but what would be the most efficient kit to get (turbo or super) to add the most horsepower and boost my fuel economy if I were to get a GXP. Thanks

    I looked at the GXP's alot and loved them but the tranny problems scared me away (tranny cooler will prevent it from burning up). The GTP's can handle the mods depending what you plan on throwing at it.
