Need some advice

[GrandprixGT01]

Well I bought my 2003 GT in december and got it because it was a good deal. However before when I was looking around I really wanted a GTP but couldnt find any single one that I really wanted and looked decent so I bought my GT. It has all the options and is a great car but I always find myself browsing autotrader and kijiji looking for a GTP. I just cant help it lol. Anyways I am thinking I could sell my GT which I could get a fair price for and use that to buy a GTP. I was going to start doing some mods to my GT but thought do I really want to put a fair bit of money into it when I can already start ahead with a GTP. So what do you guys think should I sell the very reliable and problem free GT and take a chance on a GTP or stick with the car I have?

If you want a GTP get a GTP....

I know but my parents would never let me live it down if I bought a lemon and considering I have only had my car for 4 months.

if your gonna be doing mods anyways, than u might as well topswap the gt.

[Iceman6669]

Yea... But all used cars are a gamble... You just gotta make sure you take all the proper precautions

I have thought about it but there not the most reliable and I cant do the topswap myself. Also topswap= upgrades to tranny.

Top swaps are a waste if your not going with at least a cam... Top swaps are great if you are going for BIG power... Just not really worth it IMHO

I'd sell it and buy a gtp. I'm glad i started with a gtp after hearing all the horror stories about top swaps.

I want to theres great deals its just that I dont want to give up a great car either for no reason. Well there is a reason I want a GTP but you know what I mean...

[blakgtp]

do you have to sell your car first and then buy the gtp or do u have money saved?

[GrandprixGT01]

I would have to sell it but I have two offers on the table and a little money saved.

[buickman104]

save up some money and go turbo. GTPs can blow transmissions just as well as top swapped GTs.

Says who?

It's the same trasmission minus a weaker Differential and higher gearing.

[GrandprixGT01]

Well im going to look tomorow at a black gtp with 186000kms(not sure of the conversion to miles). Fully loaded of course. Any advice? Also what type of gas mileage you gtp guys getting just driving normally?

Get a GTP. Save your money, fix the weak links one at a time... Big back seat man. Also, get the 2-door. If lasting is what you want... then look for one with good interior. To me, it's easier to fix exterior pieces.

I will be this summer. Right now I am just going to save my money and hopefully around July there will be something I like for a good price and low mileage. Coupes are hard to find around where I live. A sedan GTP is hard enough lol.

motor swap it

get an L32 and tranny that way you have a backup motor that was orig in the car

I cant do a motor and tranny swap. Would be cool thoe. Im set on and have always liked the 02 anniversarey editions so im looking for that in either a coupe or sedan. Hopefully coupe.

[GrandprixGT01]

Recently got a new job. Looking at 01 and 02 limited/anni editions to replace my 03 GT. What would you guys recommend?

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

they are the same cars.

Buy whatever you can find.
