Euro Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 I kept seeing this 98 GTP for sale in the local Autotrader magazine. It looks pretty nice, its red with the two yellow stripes(like a covette Gran Sport) on both front fenders. The Grand Prix overlays between the exhaust cutouts are painted yellow, and the grille is painted yellow. well i finally saw it today, and my god!!. all the yellow!! He must be punching 200 extra hp with all the yellow!!Had a spoiler on the back, but bigger than the stock gp spoiler. the Ram Air hood heres a pic: http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=159678541&dealer_id=&car_year=1998&make=PONT&distance=50&max_price=8700&model=GP&end_year=1999&advcd_on=n&min_price=8200&address=60510&search_type=used&advanced=n&start_year=1997&color=&cardist=13 Quote
supreme_style21 Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 Looks like another McDonalds car to me Quote
Euro Posted July 15, 2004 Author Report Posted July 15, 2004 well if a long shot and i did buy it, i would repaint the bottom of the front bumper the stock color, do the ram air vents black, and probably get rid of one of the sets of stripes. Quote
digitaloutsider Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 Please.. get a GTP WITHOUT that crap on it. That looks horrible. Quote
White93z34 Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 if i ever figgure out why people feel the need to paint their cars like condmients i'll know everything there is to know about people that thig is an attrocity, i'd give him MABIE 5k for it since he ruined many parts on it. Quote
Euro Posted July 15, 2004 Author Report Posted July 15, 2004 yeah there is too much yellow, thats why i said what i said above. painting the ram air grilles black, the lower bumper stock silver/gray or red, and get rid of one of the sets of yellow stripes on the fenders. im really not getting it, i just saw it in person and it looked like a good deal, minus the yellow Quote
1badtgp Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 "Would you like fries with that?" It's hideous. No wonder he keeps having to relist. Offer him $3.95 Quote
EurosportZ34 Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 Find a GTP without any mods Matt. That way you know the previous owner wouldn't have fucked anything up. Plus that should mean that it wasn't beat on as much. I'm sure that Mickey-D's guy beat on it at least a little, I mean come on yellow IS the color of speed. Quote

I would find a GTP that an old couple owned. I've seen people drive the hell out of stock ones and grenade the 4T65-E HD's. :oops: Quote
93CutlassSupreme Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 what color adds the most horsepower? :?: Quote
loominaz34 Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 Yellow by at least 45% red's next and then lime green. Quote
Euro Posted July 16, 2004 Author Report Posted July 16, 2004 yeah yellow adds at least 10hp per 1 inch of it you add lol. Now that i look at it more, i can imagine it being a Mcdonalds fry flipper owned lol. when my car croaks, which will be in another 100k, ill look for an 00-03 GTP Quote
dkorinko Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 If YOU like it....buy it...it'd be your car, so its not like it matters what everyone else thinks about it. Quote
pimpdaddyhouse Posted July 21, 2004 Report Posted July 21, 2004 The yellow can be easily changed. There really isn't that much there, the stripes n the sides are more than likely vinyal and the grills can be replaced with aftermarket ones from Street Scenes. The previous owner didn't paint anything on the inside so thats good. You'll be happy with the GTP there are many things you can do to make it your own...including making it faster than what it is....... Quote
SigEpCutlass Posted July 22, 2004 Report Posted July 22, 2004 Yellow by at least 45% red's next and then lime green. well yea duh! common my car's pure white so it goes way faster than anyone else! hahahahaha Quote
