    Ok I got this inspiration from my buddies 408 stroker Formula T/A He has single exit exhaust (dual QTP electric cutouts for tracktime) and regular FIREBIRD badges on it. From a distance it looks like a stock Firebird until you pull up to it and the cutouts open up and feel it in your chest.

    I was thinking about making my car look like a NA 3800 V6 anyone done this? Did they make 2 door NA GP's? Or should I just say the hell with it?

    Nobody ever wants to play.

    If you take the GTP badges off it will look like a gt.

    I actually had it debadged for awhile then I saw saome kewl carbon fiber overlays on craigslist for 10$ so i picked those up. Im talking about going to the junkyard and pulling off the 3800 V6 badges and maybe the grand prix se badges.

    OK what Im getting at is not wheather or not you are debaged or a GT that is debadged. Im asking should I re-badge my GTP with the 3800 V6 badges to mislead others that my cam'd boosted GTP is Naturaly Aspirated. And should I run a single exhaust to "mislead" people into thinking I am a NA 3800 V6

    The only GP's with single exhaust were SE's, which were all four door. Two door GT's looked exactly like the GTP's except for the badges.

    Maybe you could get some GT badges for your doors?

    Your trying to make a car known to be slow look even slower? I think it being a family car is enough man. Debadge and call it a day.

    I dont think a GTP is considered a SLOW car. Even stock they have a good amount of torque. Debadging will be easy I just have the GTP overlays on the doors.

    I like the se idea. Then put a cut out on so it sounds like your exhaust rusted off.
