December 1, 200619 yr Hey all, I've been lurking around here for a year or so just reading all the good GM info and I decided to share some pics of my car. If any of you are on clubgp, you know who I am. Anyway, I picked up my 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP in July of 2003 and it was stock. I began customizing it as soon as I could. Over the last 3 years I've done a lot and learned a lot when it comes to detailing skills, knowledge of the 3800 motor, and tuning with my DHP PowerTuner. Here are the pics: I got it with 43k miles on it, it currently has just over 84k miles now and still gets close to 30mpg on the highway (still tuning for even better milage). It is my daily driver and I have no garage. Here is my current mod list: Appearance: PFYC SD Ram Air Hood SLP Gen1 Spoiler Smokin' Lights tinted tail lights Mille Miglia Chrome 18x8 Evo5 rims 35% tint Red calipers VT front grilles Red reflective inlays Clear corners Various pieces powdercoated red under the hood Suspension/Brakes: GMPP Koni adjustable struts/springs GMPP Handling kit (front/rear swaybars, rear trailing arms, front STB) F-Body dual piston front brake calipers with 12" rotors Performance: Home-ported heads ZZP XP Cam w/105# valvesprings and upgraded timing chain TOG Ceramic Coated Headers GMPP Cat-back exhaust Gen5 M90 Supercharger w/3.4, 3.2, 3.0 pulleys 4" Fenderwell Intake Northstar V8 75mm throttlebody w/LQ4 MAF sensor 42.5 pound injectors DHP PowerTuner No recent track visits with it, but my goal is a high 12-sec 1/4 mile at 107-108mph on street tires and 93 pump gas. Let me know what you think! Thanks! Edited December 1, 200619 yr by DuBob
December 1, 200619 yr wow, I absolutely love it. Those rims really look gorgeous on there, and all the little touches really set it apart from the crowd. Great job. Beautiful photography as well.
December 1, 200619 yr *In awe* Wow, insanely beautiful. I love it. I'm curious, since you have PA plates and your screen name is similar, do you happen to live anywhere near Dubois?
December 1, 200619 yr aThat is one sexy car! I always liked the generation GP...and the color and wheels are just beautiful!
December 1, 200619 yr I actually plan on getting a car similar to yours this spring if I can find one. I love the GP GTP. Nice car. I test drove an '01 model and it could really haul ass. I can't afford an '01, though, so I'm hoping to find a '98. Nice car. Every mod you put on it is very nice and not overstated. It, in an odd way, reminds me of a concept car. Great pics, too.

December 1, 200619 yr Where are you located because I know of a few GTP's in the area that are for sale. KY. I've found a few on eBay myself that aren't too much. I can't spend over $5,000, and some of the ones I found are in decent shape and are under that limit. So, yeah, hit me up with some more cars to consider. I don't mind making a drive to get a car.
December 1, 200619 yr Ugly. Wait. Not ugly. What's the other word? Oh yeah... Absolutely Beautiful! '97-03 GPs are among the best looking modern Pontiacs period. Yours just makes them look better.
December 1, 200619 yr Absolutely gorgeous car, and though I'm not always the biggest fan of such a mass market FWD car, the general look and performance of those coupled with the--as you mentioned--awesome fuel mileage has always gotten my interest. Great cars, in most regards.
December 2, 200619 yr Very nice car, sir. I love those cars and yours looks great! Way to take care of it!
December 2, 200619 yr Extremely hot car, it reminds me of AllenK's. Are you two in the same GP club? And you're a homeboy, too. I'm in Lancaster. Thanks for posting!

December 2, 200619 yr Great-looking car with very tasteful mods. I've always liked that generation a lot more than the current one.
