take a test drive, you'll hate it. Also look at the exterior a bit more, you'll realize how ugly it is. Then look at the price tag and run away because you'll find a better car for the price outside GM.

and 02 didn't have the GXP, that is the new grand prix thing. If you are talking about the new GXP, then my above statements apply.

Firebird500hp · 06-29-2004, 10:40 AM

eh, oh well, I wana top of the line grand prix. Are they realy that bad. I heard there impossible to drive...

Jagey · 06-29-2004, 10:41 AM

do you mean a brand new one, or the old style one?

Firebird500hp · 06-29-2004, 10:42 AM

Old style, new styles to much $$

Sorry, didn't mean to do that. I was just trying to make the point that a modded GAGT can keep up with a Mustang GT and beat a Mustang V6.

yeah, old style would be something acceptable. It would be fast and affordable, yet not look like an ugly a$$ as the new ones do.

Firebird500hp · 06-29-2004, 10:47 AM

True... the new ones have cool stuff "F1 shifters, nice'r stero... But the back of it... SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Firebird500hp · 06-29-2004, 10:49 AM

I got to kinda hide proformance, (mom doesn't want me in a "fast race car") So thats why I would get the grand prix because its a "family sedan"

V6 Mustangs = crapola. I test drove 2 before my GA. ALMOST bought 1. It was OK but kinda slow still. It was auto

Firebird500hp · 06-29-2004, 10:54 AM

1FastGA · 06-29-2004, 11:03 AM

I guess someone deleted some of my posts about beating other car.s. Dont know why because I always said it was in the 1/4 because I dont street race. Know of too many people hurt that way. Anyways I still can beat stang gt's at the track. Although their trap spedd is about a 1/2 mph higher or so

GAGTSCTGuy · 06-29-2004, 11:06 AM

I got in trouble for posting about track races today too, they don't care... See this post. "No race talk", not just "No street race talk"......

Grand Am Vs. Honda Civic

IanGT99 · 06-29-2004, 11:09 AM

Street racing stories aren't allowed, I can definitely understand that. But, I don't see why guys saying what kinds of cars they did and did not beat at the track (which is perfectly legal) and what times they ran is not allowed either. It just helps to prove points IMHO. However, that's the moderator's call and not mine.
