• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    5.3 V8 and 3.9 V6, any high perf. goodies avail?

    I've decided to see if finances will allow picking up an '06 or '07 Impala instead of going with an '05 Supercharged 3.8 Impala. I know what the 5.3 is capable of bone stock as I drag raced my '07 Monte SS at the local track. I figure the Impala should be damn near as quick even though it may...

    Thinking about buying a supercharged SS

    As a member of this site with a '98 Grand Prix GTP , which needs tons of work right now :( , I'm seriously considering picking up a supercharged Impala. I assume they were only available in 2004 and 2005. I had for a short time a brand new '07 Monte SS ( and loved it), but when money got super...

    Anyone tried the Dash Z projector lights?

    When they were first mentioned here not long ago, they looked pretty damn nice. Anyone bought them yet?

    It's 2010, let's move on...........

    This whole abbreviated words thing is really getting tiresome. And the posters that insist on using the tired old "lol" in every other post:th_sign-lame:Do these people really laugh out loud all the time? Tell you what, how about actually typing out phrases and complete words for a change.You...

    What do you NOT like about the '97-'03 G.Ps?

    We've just done the what do you most like thread, how about all the negative issues. My first G.P was purchased brand new in '98, was a 2 door GT and I only kept it for a bit over a year due to financial issues. Never had any problems with it that I remember. My current one, another '98 2 door...

    '97-'03 3800 engines & trans, fragile?

    I've read an alarming amount of owners who stated they needed to rebuild or replace their engines and even more so their transmissions, Most of these mechanical issues are a result of trying to coax considerably more h.p. from them. I'm not talking your typical bolt-ons in order to drop a half a...

    Poll on how many of each color car is here?

    Just curious how many owners of factory '97-'98 medium Purple metallic GPs are registered here. Any way to find out, or do I just have to hope they reply to this thread? There seem to be a lot of the other colors, but almost no purple ones get mentioned.

    Noisy supercharger at air intake

    I noticed the area of the supercharger where the mas airflow sensor(?) is located , where the air enters the unit on the left side,makes one hell of a loud racket when the car is running but still cold.I doubt it's been serviced at all it's entire 79K mile life. If I'm gonna rebuild this car...

    what was first year for plastic gas tank?

    I removed one from a car in a salvage yard over a year ago but don't remember what year the car was. Anyone put a smaller plastic tank into a GP that came with a steel one? If so, is it a "plug & play" (install & drive)kinda thing?

    A MUST see for '97-'03 owners!!!

    Anyone who has a '97 -'03 Grand Prix with the decorative, color matched rocker panel mouldings on all but the SE models, needs to see the following pix of what can happen to the steel areas of the car that are covered by these rocker panel mouldings if they are not kept clean. The unfortunate...

    Make a GT into a GTP, p.i.t.a. ? Anyone do it?

    I just this weekend realized my '98 GTP coupe is not worth putting on the road due to excessive rot. My question is, if I find a nice GT doner car, say with a bad engine or trans, is it possible to transfer my GTP "goodies" into the GT easy enough to wind up with a true GTP? Yeah, I know, "easy"...

    If not a GP. what other GM car to own?

    If you didn't own and drive a Grand Prix, what General Motors car would you be driving? If not a GM then boo on you! My current ride is a '96 Buick Roadmaster wagon with the LT1 engine.

    "Holy Grand Prix Batman"!

    Jacked up my project '98 GTP coupe today so as to install a replacement parking brake cable. This car must have sat in water at least 2-3 feet deep for YEARS! Damn, talk about rot! Good thing I'm a professional body man that happens to be very skilled in fixing rot on cars.Of course, that...

    Grand Prix yearly production #s

    I've been searching different forums here but can't find any year to year official production numbers.Over on one of the 2004-2006 GTO sites, the production numbers are listed for each year, and is then broken down to how many of each color, auto or manual trans, etc. This info let's owners know...

    Just signed up, room for another?

    I currently own a somewhat rare 2 door purple metallic '98 GTP. Back in '98 I leased a then brand new, '98 purple GT, and always wanted another of the 2 door purple ones, but a GTP this time. I bought this one from a pre-owned car dealership about 10 miles or so from Boston,Mass.Considering I'm...
