Yes sir the gtps are supercharged the gxp's are V8's theres gtps of bonnevilles, Grand prix's, G6's, and torrents all super charged

what's the HP rating on those? I know a guy with a grand prix he wants to sell- he said it had the supercharged engine in it

I don't know much about cars... I'm more into trucks, lol, especially chevy trucks

If a Ford Lightning does that beside me while I'm in TTWDSA...that would be cute.

In my 92? I'd just turn and run over him monster truck rally style! ha

The 3800 is a great engine, but trying to work on one under the hood of a grand prix is a complete pain. It's almost impossible to reach the back spark plugs and even there's all the little stuff like the fact that the power steering fill cap is beneath the alternator.

Had a guy (I'd guess mid-late 20's) in an NBS do it to me once. I brushed it off until he drifted in front of me and sprayed gravel all over my truck and took off. I followed and blew past him while looking at his OBVIOUSLY shocked, jaw-dropped face. Just goes to show, don't talk **** if ya can't keep up.

Word. They are fun, but hard on gas and annoying to fix. That's why I'm going to get rid of the 3.1 Grand Prix in my yard. Why bother driving something that you can't do anything with (vs a truck) that only gets slightly better mileage...
