    I love my first car (04 Grand Prix gt) it drives really well no issues but I can't do nothin really regarding modding it. So I'm thinking of buying a gtp or gxp. Do y'all think I should change my car ? And if so, which one ?

    Is your current 04 your daily driver? If so then I'd hang onto it and buy something else to mod, unless you can afford to have your DD down when something breaks or during the modding process. Also depends on your budget.

    As far as not modding the N/A motor you have, a set of headers, turbo kit, built trans and a tune and you are good to go on power and still retain DD status.

    kits come up used. much cheaper, saves the cash for the tranny you "will" need.

    That turbo kit is the one I was thinking of. And yea, keep an eye out for a demod or part out for a used kit. Way cheaper. I doubt used kits would have an issue.

    And for a trans, click here--> http://www.tripleedgeperformance.com/

    if buying a used turbo doesn't bother you, I know someone selling a complete cartuning kit for 800, and I know someone else selling the intercooler kit to go with it for 300. the used cartuning turbo kit works fine, but isn't the prettiest to look at.
