since the gtp's down for the time being due to a cracked flexplate, i went out and looked for possible a second DD. found this deal after a few days search online. although the flexplate is something thats not 'severe', im also in the process of getting one of trannyman's street/strip trannies in the works. since i got ripped on the dynotech tranny, there were a couple parts that was salvageable both being the GM 1" chain and the 300M input shaft. those 2 components are gonna get installed on the tranny core along with trannyman's parts.
. i'll keep you guys updated on that in another post/thread.
going back to the OT here are the specs on the grand am. i drove it around a bit and the car's in clean condition as well as the shifts are crisp and the clutch just needs getting use to(really tight/late release):
Dealer Price: $5,992
specs:
2003 Pontiac Grand Am SE
miles: 37,583
Sedan
Exterior: Burgundy
Interior: Cloth Gray
motor: 2.2Ecotec
Transmission: 5-Speed Manual

im not gonna install go-fast parts, the only thing it'll have and i already bought it via ebay is a CAI, and thats it. its the commuter car and it'll stay 99% stock as possible. i still need to change the oil and switch to full synthetic. it just turned 38K miles. the car was traded in a couple months ago to a mazda dealership. why the price was way below KBB, nadaguides, and edmunds is beyond me as it resells for 6500-7200 instead. i also got the dealer to drop it down to 5500 pre-tax/tags.
the GTP's also gonna be the weekend warrior as well as i changed the insurance coverage on it to liability only, makes sense for the miles and year of the car.
