nice....interior a little too cheesy for with with all the hard plastic, though. My friend has one. I looked at getting one as a DD too, but instead I went with an Olds and it's pimp, loaded, and was cheaper...only problem is that it's not fun to drive....but hey, that's why I have the LS1.

pretty nice dd . i got a 08 3500hd crew cab dually ( rides like a haywagon) as my dd and i feel every bump in the road. those 3800's get close TO 30MPG right?

Nice GTP, I'm sure you'll love it. Minor mods will get you into the 13's and if you get the "mod bug" 12's are a sinch. They are a nice sleeper car.

thanx.i guess you could say its 4 door sleeper,it crossed my mind to de-badge it

but i luv the GTP badges alot.all in all im enjoying all the extras like the hud,heated seats etc.. as much as the performance,does that make sense?its a great dd `nuff said

After my last car was totalled, and I was car-less for 3 weeks, I looked at a few two-door GTPs and I had the thoughts of doing a 300GPX clone. I like that bodystyle and the "eagle eye" bodystyle too.

**blue02Z** · 02-26-2009, 05:28 PM

looks good!! i like it, but i wanna hold out for a geo metro soooo bad

**SKZ28** · 02-26-2009, 11:45 PM

Nice!

I used to have a GTP, and it was the perfect daily driver

3.4 i think so,but im not sure?i do know the original owner added a Magnuson nose drive..does that mean the s/c pulley is smaller??regardless it`s purrty quick

no stangs yet

I think the Mag snouts come with a 3.4. Those or a 3.5 are the most common for the basic round of upgrades.

what can you guys tell me `bout changing the thermostat in these?im guessing i should go w/ a 180,right?is heat an issue w/ these since theyre not intercooled?seems like mine runs around 190.
