EurosportZ34 Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 I coulda swore there was a thread not too long ago on all the GP's trim levels. So "GT" is just Grand Touring then? Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 Grand Touring Package or Grand Touring Performance Quote
z34_nut Posted August 30, 2004 Author Report Posted August 30, 2004 wow that was quick, thanks. Quote
bluegp Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 I always thought GT was Gran Turismo. Quote
EurosportZ34 Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 Got Torque Problems :?: all GTP's had between 215-260lb feet of torque Quote
digitaloutsider Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 It's a joke.. I tell my buddies Brandon and Mike (who own GTP's) it all the time. Quote
EurosportZ34 Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 LOL....gotcha, I wasn't sure if you were joking or what. Quote
Euro Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 yeah i would think its Gran Touring Package, or GranD Touring Package. Quote
DiscoStudd Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 I can remember when the 88 Trans Am GTA was first introduced, Pontiac said it stood for "Grand Turismo Americana." That was the last time I've ever heard of Pontiac's acronyms actually standing for something. GTA, GTP, GTX, anything to denote "higher performance" without resorting to using the sacred moniker that they've recently slapped on an Australian "bloated Cavalier"... Quote
loominaz34 Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 mostly unrelated sidenote... Is there any meaning to the Z in all high performance chevy models? Z24 Z34 Z71 Z06 Z51 etc Quote
loominaz34 Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 disco's quoting a mazda commercial. I'm kinda scared. :? Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 Your MOM.................. lol I think the Z options were just telling the factory to add the performance option.. The numbers were just so they knew WHAT they were building.. Quote
slick Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 Your MOM.................. I was so just thinking the same thing. Quote
EurosportZ34 Posted August 31, 2004 Report Posted August 31, 2004 mostly unrelated sidenote... Is there any meaning to the Z in all high performance chevy models? Z24 Z34 Z71 Z06 Z51 etc Z51? Never heard of that one before...what is it? You forgot Z26, Z28, ZR2, ZR5, and LTZ. Quote

Never heard of that one before...what is it? You forgot Z26, Z28, ZR2, ZR5, and LTZ. isn't z51 a suspension package on the C5? I believe it is. come on guys what about the Z31?? I thought it was just to point out a performance or whatever package. I thought the "34" was the size of the motor that got in the Z34 lumina and monte carlo. Until they put the 3800 in the 98+ Quote
White93z34 Posted August 31, 2004 Report Posted August 31, 2004 i think the Z34 haveing a 3.4 and being a Z34 was a conciendence, since the Z28 never had a 2.8 Quote
patgizz Posted August 31, 2004 Report Posted August 31, 2004 they're just RPO codes. RPO Z28 stood for a car being made with the 302 engine(trans-am racing limited engine size to 305ci when the camaro came out) to qualify for that racing circuit. i think it just caught on and they did the Z24, 26, 34 to market off its success.

conley3.1 Posted August 31, 2004 Report Posted August 31, 2004 Z51 is a sport suspension package for the Corvette that started on the mid-80s C4, and it continued on through the C5, and now to the C6. It always thought it was kind of funny that the Cavalier Z24 ended up with a 2.4l engine, and it started with a 2.8l. Weird coincidence. Quote
midnight rider Posted August 31, 2004 Report Posted August 31, 2004 G = Grandma's T = Tired P = Pontiac There, now you know....lol Quote
