I had a 99 GT for almost 8 years it was my first car and I learned alot about the grand prixs and fell in love with it. After it was totaled, (some idiot pulling out in on coming traffic), I bought an 07 Dodge Charger SXT, great summer car, but I didnt feel great about driving a mint RWD I had pushing about 290hp in our Canadian winters so I recently picked up this white 2002 GTP about 2 weeks ago. The owner had a mint AMC Javelin in his garage so I figured it was a pretty reputable seller.
Well while I am pretty happy with what used to be my dream car while I owned the GT - It needs some TLC: Im finding when its super cold >-15 Celcius it is slow to turn over. Pictures also reveal some other spots that need addressing when it warms up. The rear passenger window doesnt work, heated seat wont warm up and absolute grim came from under the door rails and spoiler the first time I washed it. Im most concerned about the what looks to be oil coming from the supercharger (waiting for access to a garage to change both s/c oil and motor oil.) and a faint smell of gas in the car typically at idle. Ive also noticed very small drops of gasoline beneath the car in the snow, one colored pink (rad coolant???) and one colored yellow (gasoline). Its hard to get **** done when its cold outside and you have no garage so Im holding out until Spring until I can really clean her up.
It seems to run well and compared to the GT it is noticeably faster and pulls harder especially at WOT even with these heavy winter tires and rims. Have only thrown in a K&N Panel filter for now.
Look forward to using some of these great resources and maybe offering some advice
