Re: best year for Gen4 GTP?

you mean gen six?

If you seriously meant gen four then you're awesome for getting into a G body.

Note rocker rot is a terrible issue with those cars.
 
Re: best year for Gen4 GTP?

no gen 4. theres the early generation 60's and up, then theres the g body, then the underpowered 90's, then the w body
 
Re: best year for Gen4 GTP?

If it's a GTP, the '97 models don't have vacuum transmissions. They have the 4T65-E HD.

But, I'll still vote for anything '98 or newer. Fewer electrical problems and a better PCM. (I'm making myself sad mine is a '97...)

Ideally, especially if you are going to be doing some major mods, '98-'00. '01 and newer seemed to be picky with certain things.
 


Re: best year for Gen4 GTP?

ok. i was thinking it was gen 4. so any opinions as to which of the 98-02 gtp's is best? im not having a 4 door so 03 is dead to me

uhh care to explain why?..

97 gtps had the same trans as the 98-02, the s/c just has different vacuum routings if I'm not mistaken.

03's come only in sedans, but come with a hardened 4th gear in the transmission.

I'd say 01-03. I haven't really had problems with mine mod wise (considering you're modding yours)
 


thanks bio 248. just did that cause i didnt know how to change title. btw, rude much? and the 97's have vacuum transmissions but the 98+ are electronically activated so thats why im not going for 97. and regals suck.
 
Um hes not being rude, its just common forum etiquette to not make multiple threads asking the same question you jackwagon. And bio is the tits bro. Hes only a dick to stupid people.

And the 97 GT's were the only ones with the 4T60-e the SE's had the 4T65-E and the GTP's had the 4T65-E HD. So only the GT's have a vacuum transmission, trust me I have a 97 GTP and its rocking the 4T65-E HD not a 4T60-E.
 
allright jackwagon. well i wasnt asking the same question. i changed my question but didnt know how to change the title. so boost my rod 8=====>
