I'm guessing you mean a supercharged GTP instead of a turbocharged GTP? Or does it have a turbo too? A supercharger and a turbo are 2 totally different things, clarify what you mean a little.

I'll assume you mean Supercharged, as there is no such thing as a 98 Turbo GTP.

The biggest issues with these cars are the transmission (especially in hot-rodded/abused examples), wheel bearings, electrical gremlins (ignition switch/harness, window motors, blower motor resistor) and fuel pump/resistors. The engine itself is virtually bulletproof, as we have many forum members with well over 200k miles, one with a GT non-supercharged has well over 300k miles.
