I'm getting a Base GT GP. Will those mods really make a difference and faster/quicker. or increase the 0-60
I'm asking because In my town a lot of people like the red light/green light take off's.


I've found a killer deal on a Grand Prix GT but I also found A GTP for $2500 more (GTP 2004 Loaded---Base GT 2006 loaded) Should I just get the Base and do those mods. OR just pocket out the extra cash to get the GTP. I'm on a budget so if I get the GTP. I won't be able to ad any mod's for a whilee and will be kinda broke. (High School student)


Thank you
 


Typo, I was looking at three different ad's at the same time and got confused. I was looking at a 2005 GT,2004 GTP and a 2006 Base lol.
Yeah the GTP will probably save me a world of head ache, with the mods. Will the 2004 GTP insurance be touching the roof? Since it's "super charged"
 
It probably depends more on your location and age, but I got my car when I was 22 and it was ~$900 a year. Now I'm 26 and paying a little under $500.
 


I'm 17 living in Central Florida, I currently have a 1992 Saturn SL2 paying $50 a month haha. Top swap I've heard that has blown pistons and stuff. I don't really know what I'm talking about tho. How expensive is it to top swap.

50 a month? damn thats high. im 21 with a loaded 08 nissan paying 60 a month for full coverage. when i had my prix when i was 15-21 i was paying 40 a month.
a 98-03 gtp would be cheaper all the way around but is the 04 a comp-g?
 
I like my loaded base. Has everything but a sunroof and a HUD. I get 32 mpg on the highway 27 combined right now. Still is fun to drive. And my insurance is 62 bucks a month for liability and I'm 19

Jeez that's low. Are you sure that is full coverage? Who do you have; sounds like some janky insurance lol. I'm 27 with a home policy as well and I'm paying about 75 a month for an 08 base GP.
 
i got state farm, 4 cars and house. 3 cars have full coverage and the other just had the basic ****z because its a 94 and i dont care about it.
 
I'm just gonna get a GTP. Get a Pulley,Intake,Exhaust and tune. So hopefully I can eat the civi douche bags at my school haha
 
Just get the GTP and avoid the headache of a topswap. The labor and time it takes to source the parts isn't worth it unless you already had the GT and insurance shouldn't be much different between the 2.
 


How would I got about with the turbo? What are some other cars beside the G6 and GTP. That are similar to them. Around the same price range.
