Pros and cons of GTP??

yes, but 10s, even with a turbo setup, is going to cost you a lot of money. your biggest enemy is going to be traction. even with slicks, at that power a FWD car spins unless you know how to drive it.
 


Ill just be happy getting a low 13 sec Pass with this car.. Cause honestly it is easier to get the NEON into the low 11's then the GTP but in the other hand it would be less money getting the GTP into the 10's then the NEON because the L67 is stronger then the Neon motor from what you guys have said.......

How do these motors like SPRAY?
 
GTP isn't what its all cracked upto be. The 3800 might be strong in the NA form,but the supercharged motor is NOT bulletproof even in stock form. Read and search these forums and you will see. I wish I would have researched this platform more before purchasing an 04 GTP for my ex wife.

its supposed to be a stronger motor. unfornately people with supercharged motors dont always treat them well and some forget your supposed to run premium fuel.

its right on the gas door, premium fuel only. when i first got the car i wasnt sure if i had to put premium or not, i was pretty sure i needed to and was going to anyway, then i opened the fuel door, yup.
 


I know I was just at the gas station the other day and I was with a friend in his mini cooper and a GTP Pulled up and I was about to say nice car, when he started pumping regular into the tank. I was like wowwww!

hmm i wasnt aware there was any difference outside the heads portion of the block... the supercharged version is just as tough as the NA version since they are the same motor... its just people, probably like this persons wife, doesn't realize that with forced induction motors that you need to run the premium octane gas and actually follow up on the maintenance of the vehicle. so as long as you do what your supposed to do with ANY car, these motors are tough as all hell
