1997 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"Power out the A$$"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This car is seriously quick. It handles like it's on rails. When I bought the car some kid blew the engine in it, so I got it very cheap. Only 1,000 bucks for it and the car was in mint condtion except for the engine. So when I got it home I put a new engine in it. Except it was not just the regular 3.8. I got the supercharged 3.8. I put some nice 18 inch wheels on it. Good MTX stereo system, and a dual exhaust flow master exhaust system. Sound real good. I think pontiac made a real nice good looking powerful car. The interior is very comfortable especially if you have the leather.
