So, I've been here awhile but I never got around to doing this.. just a combination of being lazy, not having a camera with batteries, and being tired after I detail the car so I dont wanna do it anymore, lol.
So, it's a black 2008 Grand Prix. I bought it for around 13k with 31k on the clock. Even before I was old enough to drive, I always wanted an 04+ Grand Prix, and if I couldnt have a Grand Prix, I wanted a Grand Am.
My first car was a 99 Grand Am 2.4L with almost 100k on it. I drove that for 2 years and decided it was time to upgrade to the car I REALLY wanted. I looked around and quickly found this car and jumped on it as it was within the numbers my bank said they could approve me for. Although at the time I didnt know anything about the Grand Prix, and with a little more searching I could've gotten a Comp G and been even happier, lol.
Although it's only NA, I had been driving a 2.4L 4-cyl as the only vehicle besides my parent's minivan I'd ever driven... so the idea of a big 3.8L v6 sounded exciting and POWERFUL, and combined with the electronic controlled throttle, it was a change I was surprised at when I first test drove it, I wasnt used to 0 hesitation and instant acceleration. Man was that fun.
So I've had this car for about 2.5 years now and I still love it. Finally got around to beginning modding. Even though I've only done some minor mods, I've learned a lot on this car. Intake, powerlog, downpipe are done.. hv3 and Overkill tune are next. That's all I have planned for performance mods until someday in the next few years I hope to throw a big fat snail on it.
Gunna do 18" kv5 rims, medium darkness tint all around, red inlays in the front and back "Pontiac", DNA springs (I think they drop 1" in the front and .7" in the back, something like that). Paint the calipers red.. Last thing I'll do to it will be the inferno hood... toying with the idea of the inferno air dam... maybe. Maybe dual exhaust someday, I dunno.
So, that's my story, here's mah vehicle:
