Well I am not new to wbodies, and I come from having owned a regal gs and my old toy was a 00 Z28 camaro with a nice cam in it and some head work that ran mid 11's. The GTP is my daily and just picked up last week.

What's on the car is a 3.4 pulley, and zzp 3" downpipe, with an old old zzp tune. Getting the new zzp 1.0 pcm and getting some other stuff fixed on this beauty. I will get pictures as I go, and I will be seeing if I can swap anyone tail lights, I hate the Altezza's that are on the car and love a good perfect stock set, but can't seem to find any. If you know a good place for tail lights let me know I like to keep my cars looking clean and stock.

75th? Uhhhhhh, considering 02 was a 40th Anniversary you simply have an 01.

EDIT: I stand corrected, sort of. There was a Pontiac75th anniversary edition package, but it was a dealer option and appears it was nothing more than badging and a few appearance mods.

Yeah Pontiac had been around for years, it was a comnenerative deal you could get. I was about to graduate high school when these came out, I was hoping my pops would get the SLP one when they got my moms 2003 gp.

I believe technically its a gtp Special Edition with 75th badging, its not perfect but hey IRS 14 years old.

I know GA's and Formulas got the badging, looks like a dealer might have slapped decals to bump the price.

I only have a couple from the other day after I was able to wash her. I am not a fan of MSD units, last wbody I worked on was an 01 impala with a built bottom end and a t66, the 7/8" chain in the trans broke so we got a 1", this was about 4 years ago or so and the MSD coils sucked.

Welcome, and nice car.

75th anniversary? I call BS. The GP started in 1962, not 1926. Yours looks like a 40th anny.
 
Re: New guy with an 01 GTP 75th Anniversary

Since Pontiac was established in 1926, it's probably PONTIAC 75th anniversary, not GRAND PRIX. :)
 
Re: New guy with an 01 GTP 75th Anniversary

Still looks like an 02 Anniversary to me. "Supercharged" decal on the hood vents. Dark cherry metallic paint/color matched roof rails. Although the silver lower fascia would be color matched.. Hmmm
 
Re: New guy with an 01 GTP 75th Anniversary

Nice car....... 3.4 pulley and stock intake? Fix that asap.
 


Re: New guy with an 01 GTP 75th Anniversary

Wow so much for reading haha, YES fellas it is a 2001 Black Special Edition, and in 2001 it was the 75th anniversary of PONTIAC, they had the same badges on some Formulas (if you would like I can explain what a Formula is too if that helps), and GAGT's. Google turns up all kinds of info if you use it, and no BS, it is a Black car, with paint needing some help.

I am getting the Intake done here soon, need to get an S10 PCM tray and clean it up so the pcm is mounted nice and snug. I should edit the title and say Special Edition but heck why not state that the dealership probably threw some 75th anniversary badges on a fully loaded GTP Special Edition and marked up the price.
