    It seems the word you were looking for was uncommon.

    And the term "rare" should be reserved for the mary kay edition.

    That makes 'em a little uncommon.

    I can get solid numbers next time I'm at work if you please.

    You said they are rare not I. The Autozone manager said they are rare, then you replied with they are.
    You also mentioned you could post up production numbers of the GTP's. Which I doubt you could find seeing how no one knows And Pontiac didn't keep track. And no GP is rare in my eyes or uncommon. They produced too many of them to be considered either. If someone use the term rare and GTP then most of the time they are refering to the Daytona or Pace car replica. GTP's are far from rare or uncommon in the US.

    txslow6,

    I apologize for overstating the rarity of this vehicle.

    However, I would appreciate your co-operation in re-reading the following piece to ensure you fully understand what it is I said.

    Thank you for your co-operation.

    Thank you for your co-operation.
    Thanks for proving yourself wrong once again. And thanks for not posting those production numbers you said you could get from your work. Just goes to show that they are not out there even though you thought you could get them.

    Again, you failed to do the one thing I asked.

    Thanks for being there, I don't know if I could make it without you being there.

    I never did.

    Edit: Moved, cluttering up other thread.

    Just to put this out there:

    http://www.compnine.com/vid.php?vin=1g2wp52k7wf331038

    Found 58,000 vehicles matching your year and model in our database.

    58 000 four doors in 98 on file.

    37,747 with RPO L36

    20,253 with RPO L67

    http://www.compnine.com/vid.php?vin=1G2WP1210WF259325

    Found 35,377 vehicles matching your year and model in our database.

    35 377 2 door

    12,345 with RPO L67

    23,032 with RPO L36

    I realize this only accounts for 93 377 vehicles of the 142,346 you claimed were produced.

    But thats 93 377 more than you were able to account for.

    Based on this, the GTP is far from uncommon.

    However I still stand by the statement that in my area, they are uncommon.

    I guess you missed were I posted the info was from Don Keefe who wrote the book "Grand Prix
    Pontiacs Luxury Performance Car."

    The website you posted also says my car is a 1 of 1.

    I'm not saying the website is terrible or wrong just that I find it funny to hear a Grand Prix be a 1 of 1.

    Writing a book = you can't be wrong?

    Grand Prixs Of North America • View topic - ****Official Comp G package info page****By Bluejacket

    If this information from the thread is true...

    For 2004, there were 131,551 GP sold:

    GT1: 27%
    GT2: 52%
    GTP: 7%
    Comp G: 14%

    For 2005, there were 122,398 GP sold - numbers are probably similar.
    ...then ~1 out of every 5 Grand Prix's were supercharged. I would presume the supercharged option to be less common or rather uncommon at that point. But that's 2004.
