Hey guys
Unfortunately after 172k miles, I can't keep my 98 GTP anymore. I'm doing too much highway driving and it needs too much repair work, combined with a lot of rust and decay - I got it at 159k, so I knew it's time was limited.
Anyway, I'm looking at the 04-05 gen GTP/GXP's, and I'm a bit confused on two things:
1. Nobody seems to have clear info on which cars in which trims require what fuel types. I read someplace that the GTP and GT's with the 3800 series III with the newer eaton blowers are tuned for 87 oct fuel, while the GXP requires 91/93 - is this true?
2. I'm getting mixed results on which cars have HUDs. From what I can tell, the base (GT1), GT(2), and GTP compG trims from 04-05 all have the HUD, while the GTP doesn't...but this makes no sense to me...if I was GM, I would most certainly have put the HUD in the regular GTP and skipped it on the base.
CompG's are hard to come by, so most of my searches have been on GTPs, but HUDs aren't very common on vehicles, so most car search algorithms don't include them as an option.
Has anyone driven the newer and older body style GTP's? I love the way my 98 drives - can anyone compare?
Thanks.
