Scottster Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 Almost makes me want to sell mine and move on up...to bad it's a one-and-only. The hood could go, but the wide body work is pure hotness.... Quote
5speedz34 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 I doubt its much wider than stock.... It just has some body work and wheels to make it look more aggressive. Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 I love the wheels and the hood would be ok if the scoops didn't hang, but just came open more like the ram air hoods on the GAs Quote
ManicMechanic Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 I think they were trying to emulate this with the hood scoops: Quote
Scottster Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Posted February 11, 2008 I doubt its much wider than stock.... It just has some body work and wheels to make it look more aggressive. Those flairs are WAY wider than stock...which should have been the way it came out of the box IMO. I bet they would have sold thousands more if it had a stance like that on the lot. Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 I think they were trying to emulate this with the hood scoops: Still don't like it all that much Quote

First thought: looks like a Stratus to me. Something about the flares... Quote
runt Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 I thought that car was Pre-Production? Quote
GP1138 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 What's the little hood scoop at the back pointing at the windshield? Quote
3.1cutlass Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 What's the little hood scoop at the back pointing at the windshield? They used those in the 60's muscle cars and would contain a gauge. I think a temp gauge IIRC. Quote

Robby1870 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 I thought that car was Pre-Production? yeah it is. It was a GTP concept in like 95 or 96 Quote
Euro Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 GPX concept was what it was called. Quote
Brian P Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 That's gotta be a pre-production car. The entire side sheetmetal, rear 1/4, glass, handle placement etc are all different. Quote
mfewtrail Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 GPX concept was what it was called. This isn't the GPX, but looks similar. The car above is actually the "G8" concept from ~1999-2000ish with a 350hp LS1 in it and AWD. I believe Pontiac brought it out for the ClubGP gathering that year at the production plant in Kansas and a few people actually got to drive it. http://www.supercars.net/cars/1485.html Quote

I've seen pics of the pre-production car, it looks alot different but its the same color. Quote
wildbill Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 Hood FTL Rims are sweet. The rear quarter looks like an Alero to me. Any more pics? Please share. Quote
5speedz34 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 http://www.clubgp.com/gpx/ Concept 97-03 GP. Quote

RareGMFan Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 It's actually very similar to the GPX. The GTX hood from SLP was an attempt to mimick the hood off the GPX (not the G8 in the 1st post of this thread). There's a look-a-like flare kit sold by MPD to add to any Gen II GP: http://www.mpd-inc.net/flarekit.htm Includes front and rear replacement bumper covers that continue the flare out. But $1,500 FTL Not to mention, you loose the Pontiac embossing on the rear. Quote
5speedz34 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 That's a cool kit. I wonder why they don't have "Pontiac" on the rear bumper? Quote
