found this on youtube today. Seems like GM has been holding out on us all these years.

What an incredible car that would have been! AWD and V8! (althought 13.9 is ).

Yeah, what could have been...... GM is famous for teasing consumers with Prime Rib and serving us hotdogs.

[Bio248]

not even feasible to put into production.

[alkygto]

Why not? They made AWD Syclones, and AWD 6000 STE's.

[Bio248]

would you have bought a $35k grand prix?

[alkygto]

Probably would have weighed 4500 lbs too come to think of it.

[EJOUIE]

I think they would have sold a few at that price, but I think it was more of marketing that held it back. I bet GM thought that it would take away sales from the firebird. Meaning the amount of customers stays the same, but GM is now producing 2 cars. Same with the GNX concept, not cost effective. It does give hope that they figured out a way for the versatrak to handle the drag racing.

the caddy seemed nice as for the gp my GXP was 32K new so another 3K isnt a big difference. AWD and 350hp at 13.9 haha a good driver can get my stock car to do that.

That spoiler was cool. All those cars were pretty cool, motor wise. A lot of possible power!

That is why I watched this video. I keep seeing pictures of that tease of a spoiler, and now I get to see the whole damn thing. I want it. I liked the 550 Firebird. 550HP, 550Watts, 13 seconds of fun. Fast and enjoyable without being insane.

so where are these vehicles now?

GP went up on Barrett-Jackson. Barrett-Jackson Auction Company - 1998 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX G8

I liked that, expect there were 3. 2 or 4, odd numbers are weird, unless its 1.

lol they said 0-60 in under 7 seconds, I would think that is awful for a awd v8 with 350 hp, I mean mine is fwd with just over 3 and I did it in 5.5 sec.

Stock GP GTP's are supposed to 0-60 in under 7 already...

[EJOUIE]

it must have some crazy amount of power being lost on the way to the wheels.

[SeanGTP]

AWD does that to a vehicle sadly. If it were RWD it's probably be doing a lot better as far as power to the wheels.
