Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not all opinions are created equal. For example, you have selected the least popular GP out of the 3 gens of w-bodies, and to top it off, with ricer....err...."racing" stripes on it. It's hard to take the opinion of such a person seriously.

If they weren't so hard to find in good shape these days, I'd much rather take the aggressive body styling and cladding of the Gen 5 GPs (especially the TGPs/'91-'93 with the B4U package) vs. the cookie cutter, dime a dozen looking, shape/styleless Gen 6 or 7. I only bought my '01 GTP 6 or 7 years ago out of convenience (much easier to find one of those in good shape/lower miles than a Gen 5), and even then, I specifically looked for a Special Edition or 40th to try to add SOME kind of styling to the boring grocery getter looks of the '97+.

Also, until recent years, the LQ1 was the most powerful n/a V6 motor GM had made (215hp/220lb-ft tq in '96/'97). It wasn't until they started turning out DOHCs again and really concentrating their R&D on them that they finally beat the hp/tq of an engine they stopped making in '97. And they respond VERY nicely to turbos.



Not to mention they sound wicked at any RPM, unlike the horrid sounds the 3800 makes regardless of exhaust set up.

MMMM love them pregens......especially the wheels....5 spoke or crosslace.

Ugh, yeah. That's a win fo sho. Need moar pregen pictars, thanks.

Yeah like rare said the 3.4 loves turbos. If I had the money I would buy my friends z34 and fix it up, probably try and swap in the gp interior. The lumina interior is very bland.

I really don't know why people give eachother a hard time on this forum.

I always laugh at the people who brag how they built their own car when it's the slowest thing on the strip.

I don't go to the drag strip. It's all about the work you do your self and that people need to respect what others drive no matter what because that's their money their blood and sweat and all auto enthusiasts should stick together. I'm gonna build my
Car for my needs and no one else's
