What Car Should I Buy???

I've had access to a maxima, I have fallen in love with it. I will be buying a "good" car when I turn 18. I can get a cosign on a loan, im all good. I need some opinions to help me choose. If any of you have some first hand experience "seen a race Maxima vs. GTP" please help me.

It's a VERY close call.

97-99 Nissan Maxima
or...
98-00 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

Please if you know tell me which one is overall faster, acceleration, top speed anything that will help me decide. Anything you know about it.

GTP has a supercharger and has like 4 major mods i know of....

Maxima Has dohc and every mod possible......

HELP ME!!!

Theres details about the maxima and GTP and my current car at this page.

I have a poll on that page too.
My Current Car + more info about Maxima and GTP

I'd also go with the GTP. You can't go wrong with 280 Torque.
