Thread: GXP to a GTP?

So lets say I get rid of my GXP and want to go with something cheaper like an older GTP, do they even make the GTP in a manual? and would say 4 or 5k do any kind of significant modding? I just dont know anything about them but I know there is all but squadoosh for the GXP and I get bored with it sometimes because there is nothing I can do to it. Any help or input would be cool, expecially from the ones who have modded gtp's (Bluegtp, bballa, kuntzie) thanks.

for a manual you gotta go way back to the early 90's grand prix's.

i would get your self a 00-02 GTP for around 4-5k and mod it for another 3-4k and BAM fast and good car.

kuntzie can hook you up with a manual swap for like 2500
ill sell ya my car for 7k

nah wouldnt want to pay $2500 just to make it manual seems like it would be put to better use with power, do the gtp's have tap shift? dont know that I can get out of my car but I would like to get in a way cheaper payment and or payed off car.

i hear ya none of my cars have payments ill never buy a car i cant pay cash for again

yea screw car payments lol, I remember those days of the mint condition 94 integra ls paid for and ran perfect and I was dumb enough to trade it for a payment.

The 04+ GTP Comp G's have Tap Shift. It'd be the same body style you have now. They also have 3.29 gears which you would like

the tap shift does a worse job of selecting gears than just letting the car handle it. its a useless thing to have in the car.

If you get one from 98ish or so, it'll have a performance shift button which will raise the shift points. A tuned PCM and you can have it set for normal mod to be economy and performance shift to be your "race" mode.

I dont know im just tired of a car payment lol and figured I might could keep a grand prix but without the dreaded note.

you could dyno 325whp-350+ on your gxp for under 4000 bucks, i would go that route!

there are things you can do to the GXP as far as mods. i hate to say it but where did you see that the 04'+ gtp comp g's came with 3.29 gears? they are exactly the same as the 97-03 gtp trans and the same as the GXP trans other than the GXP has some more hardened parts in it. Beastly i will recommend you go to ls1tech and do some searching on mods there alot of good guys willing to help out and some new parts coming out and things.

04-05 Comp G's came with 3.29 gears.

You actually spent enough time to check to see if the car had a 3.29 final drive ratio? And if you really did, then either a.) It wasn't really a Comp-G, or b.) it wasn't a Comp-G.

it was a comp g my mom bought the car brand new from the dealer in 04 and when i got it 2 years ago i wanted to upgrade the trans and had it checked out and no 3.29 gear. I checked everything out and it was a comp g

Then GM screwed you over. All Comp-G's had 3.29 gears, and I guess if that's the way it came, and somehow you could prove it, it'd be a rare, albeit worthless, car. Obviously 2.93 gears is a downgrade, but it'd be rare at least... but that'd be if you still had it, which you don't. But I suppose you've checked out your GXP tranny too? It should also have 3.29 gears.

yes the GXP has the 3.29 gear and to be honest i dont know why someone would want to go from a GXP to a GTP?

Gas, price, god forbid noise, or simply, if downgrading far enough, maybe you prefer the old body style, particularly if you want a coupe, you'd have to be in the 97-02 range.
