Just wondering because I am looking at an 04, but it is not a comp g

a comp g is a gtp with 3.29 gears and an upgraded suspension
12-17-2009
in theory, yes because of the gearing but not sure how much difference it is. motor wise, like stated above exact same thing.
12-17-2009
eh, im not sure they are any faster. might be. but, theyve got those cool paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
12-17-2009
If they both start at the same time... the comp g is faster due to gearing.
12-17-2009
comp g ftw!
12-17-2009
Doesnt the gen 5 supercharger have something to do with it too?
12-17-2009
theres 20 horse in that alone.

Yes but he said '04. So both cars in question have a GenVOriginally Posted by SuperSport

a whole bunch of info for the comp g
Grand Prixs Of North America • View topic - ****Official Comp G package info page****By Bluejacket
the main thing i like about the comg g is the 3.29 gears. i could care less about the tap shift, my trans starts to slip everytime i even use it. 3rd gear also went out the 3rd day i had it too, tap shift does a number on the trans. something to think about if you are getting a comp g.

God I hate 4t65's hd or not.... as far as GM fwd trans seems like they suck. Why can't they make them more like the old school stuff like th350's or th400's. Oh well by the way I would assume that the comp g is def faster, but probably suffers from slightly worse gas mileage than other GP's.

paddle shifters are failures. Takes so long for them to actually shift, it's pointless
12-18-2009
Only just noticed they BOTH move in the same direction for the same function... not pull the left for downshift and right for up...
12-18-2009
haha yeah that's how all paddle shifters work except the ones on the video games. my dad's 2010 taurus has paddle shifters that work well, but it also is a 6spd
12-18-2009
Sorry but thats retarded.
I'd rather a complete auto than that.

Before I got my tune, I actually used the paddles quite a bit. When coming out of curves it helps tremendously to downshift before you get back on the throttle. After I changed my shift points it really eliminated the need for this because I don't have to get so deep in the throttle to downshift. So bottom line, the paddles are okay if you have a stock PCM but useless if you have a decent tune job. I haven't had any slipping prolems with mine.... yet.

Once you're tuned, the only use for the paddles is to downshift when there's deer in the road if you've got the coordination to slam in to tapshift and tap down. But I suspect that most people would rather have nice brakes. Or, I guess, if you wanted to launch the car in second.

i thought comp g's came wityh a 3.6 pulley....?
03-07-2011
Nope.
03-07-2011
97-03 styled SLP cars had options of...
SLP Ram Air CAI
SLP Catback
SLP 3.5" Pulley
SLP 1.80:1 Roller Rockers
SLP Tuned PCM
Other than that...nothing after '04 had stuff like that.
