I wouldn't say anything too soon, I don't believe Pontiac is officially out of business yet although it looks like it will happen. Things could change, let's hope they do!
As much as I love this car a newer one would do better justice. But Pontiac going out of business should take some serious consideration...who knows how it will be to get parts....

Pontiac is DEAD forsure period. 2nd there are a tons and tons of these cars built from 1997 to 2003 same with the newer bodys style. Parts shortage? yeah right! Even aftermarket parts are alright Ive used certafit and copart fenders and hoods. Since this is my 3rd GP ive hit my share of deer and my sisters on here 2nd GP and every single car each of us have owned has been in an parking lot fender bender or blasted a deer. Trust me parts are everywhere. Bumpers are harder to find that fit good but so far Ive always used GM bumpers.Originally Posted by RyanZ17

If you save up for a GTP, then paint will be a secondary desire. You thought the GT had a little something when you hit the pedal, the GTP will impress you more. Add a few mods and the bug will be deeper into you than any girlfriend.

a fellow ny'er....drive that car till it dies, do not put any money into it. its a 97 GT nothing special.

A few simple, and relatively cost efficient mods you can run are a 3.4" pulley, headers, CAI/FWI, exhaust, and supporting mods.
10-20-2009
It's a GT. So good stuff except the 3.4.
BUT after the paintjob done right you're looking at almost the cost of a GTP, so I'd just buy a gtp, maybe try and get like 500 out of that thing.

He was talking about maybe getting a GTP, I was referring to that.

I'd just shoot for a good 3.4" setup and tune. That's what I'm running right now but I want a little more out of my car.

u need a gtp and ditch the s/c for turbo and spend lots of $$ and be prepared for **** to break often.
the gp u have now would make a great winter/dd car, id just keep it until it rusts in half. If u have ur heart set on a gp look for a 99-02 imo those are the best years.

a radar detector isnt too expensive. i got a used one off my friend for $100 and it works exactly how i want it. it was the first thing i bought for my car and i still use it.

Something tells me once I'm broke into a GTP I'll want one.

2006 Grand Prix GXP is one of the most solid, powerful, and classy cars I have ever driven. Only option I would add would be bluetooth and that will be happening soon.
10-22-2009
yeah, you forgot to mention no aftermarket at all...
10-22-2009
Hmmm...Metallic?
Blue? Nah...just black...
Or is it
Blue-Black Metallic...best...color...EVAH!!
That is pretty much the ticket there KillerSomething tells me once I'm broke into a GTP I'll want one.Way more worth it though than that car...I'd use it as a DD for sure...maybe just tint the windows and get a tune up...and spray some rust proof paint over the insides of the door sills and stuff...might save it for a little longer than excepted...
You can't use "CLASSY" and "GRAND PRIX" in the same sentence...against the law.
No crap...intake and exhaust? Oh wait...you forgot to mention the $7,000 turbo kit that is like a one off...They are nice cars, sure...but nothing I'd jump for...I'd buy 20 98-03 W-Body's before buying that thing...

Take a look at the Powering Your 3800 sticky under I think General Tech, this post is amazing. literally step by step on preparing your car for mods and what to do in order it's what Im gona use as soon as I start getting the cash flow back in sync and start moding my GTP
10-25-2009
Im sooooooo glad mine wasnt/isnt that bad!!
its close to being fixed tho, trust me, rocker replacement isnt 'fun', and rust repair/repainting isnt cheap.. but my god is it rewarding to do it yourself!
10-27-2009
DON'T buy a CHEAP GTP. If you can get a GTP for the money you get from that thing, it'll only be a consistent problem child. I have a 98 which we purchased for $3k wholesale, yeah, wholesale, and it's been a persistent PITA since I've owned it. I love it but I hate it.
