As some of you know...

good luck with the new whip~~

[deevergote]

Yeah, I had a GTP. I would never want anything less than the GTP... and the GT is just weaksauce (at least it's not the SE!)

My GTP came into my life with 48,000 miles on the clock, and a few little things wrong, like the windshield washer pump (it was a 2002). By 101,000 miles, just a year later (well maintained, mind you) it was literally falling apart. Suspension blown, engine leaking from multiple places, electrical problems galore... and I never could figure out how to fix the windshield washer!


Good luck with it. I hope your luck is better than mine!

The first thing you need to do... the FIRST thing... is invest in some 2004 Grand Prix front brake rotors, pads, and caliper brackets. The stock brakes are TINY, and the 2004 ones are 1" larger. It's a significant difference. I was scared shitless with the stock brakes. With my fat ass in the car, a full tank of gas, and a bit of junk in the trunk, the car tipped the scales at 2 tons... those brakes are WAY too small!

Otherwise, maintain it. It's not a Honda. It won't take the same abuse that your CB7 took. Trust me.

so you have a couple grand to do a top swap and intercooler and beef up the non hd trans, but yo dont have a couple grand for a car thats worth more than your gp?

[JDMchristian991]

pontiac fail.

pontiac fail.

i have had a 1991 Bonneville le, a 1994 Bonneville se, a 98 grand prix se, and my parents have a 01 Bonneville se 75th anniv. all had nothing but problems everytime we turn around.

i just hope his gt is newer than a 1997, because 1997 had weird pcms and problems up the ass.

Its funny how you guys are all baggin on the exact kind of car im getting,
just because im transferring from honda.
I dont have time to wait around for another CB.
i have a job, im in nightschool which means i have to transportate myself back and fourth to school.
Which means i cant go without a car.
Also.
My mom has a 2005 pontiac grand prix and has had NO problems with it at all.
And she has had it for 3 years now.
just thought id clear that up!

will do man!
thanks!

i like my grand prix, i had alot fo track time with it. Had awesome power, just wasnt built right, and had alot of problems. It didnt handle, and i couldnt lower it. They have whats called pogo problems when you lower it. i cant really say anything good about my bonnevilles because they were junk. Plastic and more plastic. the 3.8 motors could take anything. and i mean anything.

This has absolutely nothing to do about you getting a non-Honda. This has to do with the fact that Pontiac's aren't known for their reliability, it's actually quite the opposite. But, good luck to you.
