My fiance has a GTP and I was just wondering what kinds of mods you guys have done to your cars? I did a homemade CAI on her car and we're doing exhaust soon.

Unhappy

No grand prixs here I do like the way they look though, but we have a 1968 Firebird as our Pontiac-mobile

I would guess that nopi.com may have some simple bolt ons. What's the engine code for the GTP (i.e. LS1, B16A, that sort of code...). If it's the same one that goes into the Alero (I think...maybe the intrigue) there's plenty of more advanced things you can do.

I'd suggest taking it to a machine shop or a local performance shop to see if they can't port and polish, or extrude hone, or something like that.

Good luck, and keep us posted.

can anyone involved in this post tell me what the GTP's top speed is. if i remember correctly, the speedo goes up to like 120mph, but then theres the reflection off of the windshield. how fast have you gotten it up to and do you know what it can push.

the reason i'm asking is that i raced some kid in a gtp at high speeds and smoked him twice. the first time i hit 142mph and the second, i hit 150mph. both times i left him with multiple car lengths behind me. but when i slowed down to 80 to let hime know that i smoked him he pulled hard on me. just curious. thanks

GTPs are speed limited to 125mph.

For those interested in GTP or Regal GS mods, check out www.thrasher-ep.com . They are out of Burlington, IN and have aftermarket supercharger pullies, intakes, suspension, exhausts, brake upgrades, etc. for these W-cars.

The GTP's are speed limited to 127 by the PCM due to the tires that come stock on the car. With a reprogrammed PCM and some basic mods iits not uncommon to be around the 150 mark. I own a 97 GTP that is actually for sale. It has Borla, MSP CAI, 3.4 supercharger pulley, thrasher shift kit, MSD wires, Jacobs ignition coils... blah blah blah. If anyone wants to know more just email me. I want $11,500 for it [email protected]
