GTP vs GT?

I have a potentially DUMB question. How can I figure out if my '97 Grand Prix is a GTP or a GT?

I keep seeing those acronyms on this website, but I'm not familiar with what they stand for.

I have the 3.8 V6 SE Sedan, if that helps at all.

I'm brand new and figuring my way around here.

Thanks!

Thanks guys!

Okay, so I don't have a GT or a GTP, just an SE.

My next question (and please let me know if I should move it), is how do I know whether my car should have the HUD and/or DIC working?

When I test-drove it, I don't remember seeing either one of them lit up.

Are these options that should still be working in my model or is it possible that they were never lit up?

Thank you!
 


does ur front bumper look like this?

well, its pretty much bottom of the line grand prix... i dont know 100% but i dont think they came with working HUD or DIC.
 
If there options, I guess it only depends on if the original owner purchased them. Do you have any documentation of the vehicle you could look at?
 


Does it have a hole in the dash in front of the steering wheels that's approxiametely 5x3 inches? If not then it doesn't have HUD (Heads up Display). If it does you should be able to see your speed and other info on the windshield

Yea that was the low rung GP, but here is a list of options avail on the SE that year and yes the HUD was an available option. Options - 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix SE - Yahoo! Autos

I saw some in the glove department when I checked out the car. When I get it home tonight, I'll look around and see what it has. It won't be a big deal if it doesn't have it... I was just curious, more than anything.

I will check this as soon as I get it home tonight. I'm really excited! :th_laugh-lol3:

Thanks for all your helpful replies!
 
Thank you for your helpful comment. My SE hasn't shown any signs of blowing yet. In fact, I like it very much. Also, a car that goes and stops when I ask it to is already worth more than $200 to me.

i hope you paid like 200$ for that.

SE's BLOW

that was a a$$hole thing to say... :th_shakinghead2: all GP's blow... dont think ur car is all that cuz u got a GTP... trust me, it blows too.... one more thing, her car is pretty much the same as yours... just has that funny bumper and no supercharger.
 


Yea not everyones in it for speed and looks, options etc... For instance my GTP is the slowest car I own and it's my daily driver. I got it for my daily driver though b/c it's not incredibly slow, it's got tons of options. It's big and it's a 4 door so I dont have to fold the damn seats up everytime I have more then 1 other person along with. It's the most comfortable thing I own to drive however.
