2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP review from North America
"Exceptional sports sedan!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wheel bearings (hub assemblies) both sides, @ 62K. I am told this is a common problem with high powered front drive vehicles. Tires seem to wear easily, but the 280 lb.-ft. of torque could have something to do with that:)
General comments?
This is the ULTIMATE sleeper machine!!! Very nice interior, stylish exterior, all supplemented by a 240 horsepower supercharged GM 3.8 liter V6. GM's 3.8 has proven to be a very reliable engine over all the years it has been produced. I recommend the addition of a cold air intake kit, and freer flowing exhaust, as these really wake the car up. If you plan on adding a smaller diameter pulley for the supercharger, make sure you get a transmission cooler, to help with excess power put through the tranny. I will update this as the miles are racked up on my GTP. Oh, yes, I also achieve around 26 mpg, in combined city/highway driving.
