Well I've always wanted a GTP especially for a DD. I've test driven two of them in the past and loved them, still have no idea why I never did buy one of them.
Anyway not new to the car scene.
I'm a pretty big nut for buying/selling cars mainly DD's for profit. I've only had one DD that was really super nice which was a 1995 Subaru SVX but needed gas mileage so went to a civic. I've had a few civics now for DD's - always a bit rough, bodywise anyway - and the one I've been driving I finally got tired of since it was completely rotted out although mechanically sound.
With moving 3 hours away soon to start my junior year of college at a different University i decided I wanted something a bit nicer than my 300k mile rustbox 95 civic. Finally bought my first 3.8 SC car, was looking at regals/rivieras as well but found this first.
Gave $3000 for it - 121k miles. Absolutely no mechanical problems, brand new tires, all new maintenance parts such as plugs/wires/window regulator&motor/struts/etc. Does have some interior issues I'm going to work on getting fixed, mainly just with typical crappy GM plastics.
Eventual plan after I sell my bike is to do the 3.4" pulley & supporting mods although its about already quick enough for me for a DD.
Anyway a couple of my previous 'project/fun cars'
92 Talon TSi AWD - bolt ons, stock motor/trans -around 350-400whp. never dynoed, self tuned - ran 12.7@107mph when around 300whp
92 Laser RS-T AWD - built - again never dynoed, around 400-420whp ran 11.7@123mph. Did a new build after blowing a headgasket and was probably around 500whp self-tuned but sold it.
99 Firebid Formula 6speed - Bought bone stock, did cam only build - dynoed 384whp but was more around 400whp due to tuning issues based on running 114mph in 1/4 mile and beating a couple 400-420whp f-bodies. Only ran 12.9 due to 3.08 gears in a v6 rear end in it.
Few pics of the other/old rides for those interested.
