Pontiac has been experimenting with turbos and superchargers on the Grand Prix, since they went fwd in 88! Again lack of advertising and promotion, kept these cars in low volume. The average person does not know about the GTP and GXP models. Same as the Trans Am WS6,WS7 and the Fire Hawk. General Motors biggest problem is lack of advertising and listening to enthusiasts!

There’s one for sale near me. Back then it was the GTP vs Maxima SE (manual). Both were pretty quick, but the Nissan Maxima was the only available in a manual and it probably costed a little more. I think the maximum was faster than the Pontiac since Pontiac only offered the Grand Prix with a 4 speed auto. I was probably in middle school around this time. My sister’s boyfriend had a red Grand Prix with black leather interior. These cars are nostalgia for me. With some tuning and minor upgrades, a Nissan Maxima could actually out perform a heavier Grand Prix GXP.

Autos are faster than manual so that doesn't really make sense

@EricFortuneJr. 11 ай бұрын

@@TTime685 Not in the early 2000s. Most torque converter autos were slow shifting slugs and they robbed the engines of power and mpg. This is why most Mustangs and Camaros were purchased manuals. Check out the old Motorweek reviews, they even complained that the automatics got slower track times than the manuals. It required engine power to operate those old things, almost like giant gear driven engine accessory.

@TTime685 11 ай бұрын

@@EricFortuneJr. First of all Camaros and Mustangs are muscle cars so people prefer a manual in general.. Plus you could program those old autos and install shift kits. You have to be flawless with a manual to outrun any auto, even back then.

@EricFortuneJr. 11 ай бұрын

@@TTime685 You had to modify an auto in order to improve its performance, that proves my original point. The same person can drive two of the same make/model and still get a better quarter mile time with the older manuals vs older automatics. An 03 Maxima with the manual would hit 60mph in 6.2 seconds. A Maxima with 4 speed was slower with about 6.5-6.7 seconds. The GTP was 6.6-7.0 seconds. The 04 Maxima was heavier so it was a bit slower, but the 6 speed manual still hit 60 in 6.3-6.5 seconds. Automatics did continue to evolve and improve from the factory so there are some decent 0-60 times from the mid to late 2000s. Now we have 10 speed Mustangs, Camaros and 8 speed Challengers. Today it’s a different ballgame because the factory tuning and different drive modes can cater to performance or fuel economy.

All said and done on our classes mustang dyno he made a little of 340hp to the front wheels, doesn’t sound like much but that’s close to 380 or so to the wheels.

Also, if you want the cheapest low mile vehicle for a LS swap? Look at Buick Rainers, they’re usually owned by older people and are not ragged out. I found one up north for $800, 5.3L, AWD, 85k miles with a rotted frame. I couldn’t get that far north at that time but someone scored.

So they have that plug and play all-wheel-drive set up for the Civics and Accords. It just has to hook to go on the side where the long CV axle is, and use a short CV axle. That way it still is the right length out to the Wheel from the transmission. I wonder if that kit could be modified for this? I used to have a 1994 Grand Prix four-door, and a 1994 Grand Am GT with a 3.3, both which had chips in them. The Grand-Am ended up breaking the tail shaft off the transmission. And that Grand Prix was so goddamn fast, you could be sitting at a light and stomped the gas, and it would just sit there and smoke two front tires with and barely move for about 15 seconds.. Both of them jokers was fast as all get-out!
