Thread: What was your first impression

same here flash haha

first time i heard it start up i thought to myself i have to have this car. didnt floor it on the test drive cause i knew how much power it had but my dad didnt, and if he did he would of said no to buying it. but on the way home after it was mine...lets just say i creamed my pants

I started with the GT and I loved the handling, the power, and the fuel economy. My other daily driver at the time was a F350 SuperDuty CrewCab V10 with 4" blocks and 33" tires. The 310 HP of the V10 sounds like a lot but the truck weighed 7400 pounds so acceleration was a bit pokey. When you wanted to pass it was like a chess game. The Grand Prix was much more tossable and more fun all the way around.
Then one day on the way home from work in the GT I passed my '02 for sale. Pulled over and checked it out. Took it for a test drive with the windows down and sunroof open. Nailed it at around 40 mph and it got up and hauled (compared to the GT). So I CarFaxed it and later bought it.
