    Sorry if this is in the wrong spot and if this is a stupid question but here we go...i recently purchased a 2007 grand prix gt. The dealer had it listed as a gtp online so i was assuming it was supercharged but when i got to the dealership i noticed there was a gt badge on the trunk lid which made me wonder what was under the hood. turns out it was a series 3 with a supercharger. So i thought that was kinda weird and checked the vin number where it is also listed as a gt. I asked the guy if it was aftermarket and he said he didnt think so so i had him call the gm mechanic and he said it is not that unusual and there were supercharged gt's made. Has anyone else heard of this?

    yup.

    04-05 were still under the GTP name

    then in 06 they ditched that and went to GT but kept the supercharger motor in it.

    so everything on the car is correct.

    My 97 is a GT with the supercharged option. So technically it will always be a GT.

    The reason they discontinued the GTP trim was to influence people to buy the all "new" GXP.

    ACTUALLY....the GTP was a trim option so it didn't really exist in '97.

    You cheated and tossed in a supercharged motor
