its hard to say. Every car is different. I would personally stay away from the 97's beacuse either its a dud or a freak of nature. I say a 98+ are good cars.

OK. That's what I was thinking. But I just wanted to make sure. I always thought that the later in the body style, the more of the kinks were worked out ya know?

a few years had the perf shift button on the shifter and a few other diff things It depends if you want to mod or just have a dependable dd
Id say newer and lower mileage the better
09-11-2010
if u want a dependable dd dont get a gp. lol
09-11-2010
Why do you say that? 3800 is a reliable engine. I have had my GP for a couple years and its my DD, no problems.Originally Posted by flash527

Name a vehicle that doesnt break down? Id take any car with a laundry list of new parts ove a car with 70-80k miles thats for sure. Its all on ownership and who drives it takes care of it ect...........

With one sweeping statement you have made all cars since the beginning of time equal! Congrats. Stop R&D on all cars! They are all equal and always have been!
The proof! They all breakdown at some point……….

thats funny but far ffrom true dont mod and dont drive like a asshat and you shouldnt have any issues
09-11-2010
I had a 97 gtp and got it with 90,000 miles and drove the hell out of it always.. Never had any probs. When I sold it the car had 225,000 miles on it.. The car was bone stock never had any tranny probs either.. Biggest thing I did to it was supercharger gasket and MAF change.... So if you don't mod it the gp lasts forever.. Atleast mine did..

none, they will all have issues.
You mean dont buy a car, they will all break down at some point or another.

I love my 97, Shes a freak

x2, my 97 is amazing as hell. factory trans/motor at 180k miles, runs low 14s with a catback and tune (stock pulley and dp).I love my 97, Shes a freak
Oh, and performance shift button = pointless... I wish I didnt have one so I didnt accidentally hit it all the time. Considered taking out the switch in the pcm next time I flash it.

i think my 98' is still a very solid car! motor wise
09-12-2010
stock ones.
09-12-2010
So I'm seeing that I shouldn't mod one and the newer the better then?
09-12-2010
ok if you mod any car there is a biigger chance things will break there are a few mods you can do and be safe
And newer generally means less mileage/better condition but not always for example
a 98 gtp with 120k miles vs a 03 gtp with 100k miles statistically the 98 has more miles but was driven less if that makes sense
09-12-2010
what everyone is saying is you don't want to buy a modded car because you don't exactly know it's past. whereas a stock car should run like it did from factory aside from gaskets/hoses that may have been/need to be replaced.
