    Well here in a couple of hours me and the Jew (Nick) are gonna be looking at another GTP I might possibly buy. It's my cousins car that was built by a friend of the family. Has a stage 2 intense cam, headwork, 3.2, and other supporting mods. The bad thing is the torque converter is shot. Been sitting on pavement for a year or so, so maybe I can snatch it at a low price. It's a red coupe, has a custom exhaust setup that I guarantee no one has done before. I'll be sure to post pics when we get done looking at it.

    I'd say it's probably never been done to a Grand Prix before. The rear bumper has been modified for a single center exit that looks factory. Still has the lower valance but the regular exits are gone and smooth to a nice center exit. I haven't seen the car in a while so I hope it still looks as good as I remember it. I also am pretty sure it's just the torque converter, the car took a dump after he decided to do a massive burnout for no reason. And if I'm not mistaken there are codes present as well. I forgot to mention the car has a scanner/tuner mounted in the ash tray area for on the fly tuning. 18s, lowered, and other crap.

    to the OP:

    I was only saying consider a re-built trans at worst. ya know? make sure you have the money to have a new TC installed, parts, labor...etc...whatevers needed...

    sounds like a fun ride though, should be faster than ur car now atleast.

    Race pictures. Keep in mind this car has been sitting at an inactive missile base for almost 2 years. The rear end was backed up to a fence and a tree so I was unable to get photos of the exhaust cutout. With that said here it is
