So far the car as been really good to me. I haven't had any problems.
The car is very sporty and stylish. It turns heads every. The leather seats are very comfortable and with the tint on the windows it stays fairly cool inside. The manual shifts very well and short. With the drilled disks, I haven't had any problems stopping on a dime. With the 200hp, keeping up is no problem.
Keeping up... with what? Not my 2000 GTP. 200 horsepower? To race you, I'd probably bring my mom's Grand Cherokee instead, as the race would be closer. Be informed before you speak, please.
The guy never said anything about racing, he only said his car would keep up in traffic, as I understood it. But then you choose to play the hard-ass. The trouble is that somebody always has a faster car, and I'm sure there is no shortage of people who can hand your 2000 GTP the beat down.
I agree with the comment above. GM's 3800 only produces 200 hp as well, 240 if its supercharged. Keep in mind That The GTP weighs more than the Stratus, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Stratus could easily keep up with it, if not beat it.
Actually, he never said anything about traffic at all. I didn't choose to be the hard ***, as you, obviously very well educated, put it. Cursing just makes you look even less intelligent than you already are. I chose to be the messenger of fact. By the way, yes my 3.8 has only 240 hp, but it's the torque advantage that would allow my GTP to easily dispatch a Stratus R/T. Also, there are a lot of vehicles that would "hand my GTP the beat down", as Mr. Educated said, I never denied that. I simply stated that I would easily handle a Stratus. I will repeat my message: Be informed before you speak. And please tone down the cursing, you already sound dumb enough.
I have owned both a 1997 grand prix gtp and a 2003 stratus R/T. The GTP was an Auto and the Stratus is a stick. I am thinking with those two cars it would be a very close run up to 60. I think car and driver has the GTP at 6.7 to 60 and the stratus at about 7.0. So like it or not they are comparable.
Ha ha, the trash talker who wants to race everybody with his GTP finally comes out of the woodwork to defend himself! It's funny that you get so mad that somebody stood up to you, because you're the one who started out insulting people with your comment on bringing your mommy's Cherokee to race a guy who never said a word about racing. You never stated a single fact in your March 25th comment, only a lot of hot air and unfounded opinion. Apparently you can dish it out, but can't take it.
It never fails the guys in the GT’s and GTP’s are always so quick to trash talk the RT’s. I’m not the type of guy who looks for a race at every stoplight, but sometimes it is mildly entertaining to run ‘em off the line. I would say 9 times out of 10 it is a GT or a GTP that pulls up next to me wanting to race. In my stock 2003 Stratus RT (manual) I have yet to loose to either so I would agree with the comment about driver making a difference in these cars. I tend to give more respect to the RT (in comparison to the GTP) since it is what it is while still being naturally aspirated…it doesn’t need the supercharger to do what it does, a little note that the Pontiac guys seem so quick to forget. The comment about there is always a faster car is very true also. Anyone can buy a car provided you have the money, but those who choose to improve upon the original model and learn to drive it well are the ones who deserve respect. I know my car is nothing special being stock as it is, but I didn’t buy it to race or come on some car survey site to talk trash about the other guy’s car…I guess I’m a bit more secure with my purchase than that.
Hey I don't knock anyone's car, but I only have the SXT model and I've put beamers in their place with the handling and have handled Mustangs with ease, but again this is all based on the driver, if you know how to handle traffic and accelerate the right way even with an automatic such as mine I can keep with most cars if not beat em down... It just goes to show, you don't need the car to do the work if you got the balls and know how to drive... nuff said.
Nobody should really care whether or not your GTP is faster than the stratus R/T. For one thing I would certainly hope so considering the fact that it costs about 10k more comparably equipped brand new.
Try getting a grand prix, or ANY new GM v6 with a manual transmission.
10,000 dollars less brand new. That may be true, but this is about a 2003 Stratus, hardly a new ride. By the way, a stock GTP will definitely have the advantage over a stock Stratus R/T. Torque is thy friend, my son.
Wow...Stratus??? GTP??? Get some real cars, then start talking about racing. Stop wasting your time.
Yeah! I got an extra 2,000 horsepower out of my Honda Civic by bolting on an aluminum wing, and an extra 3,000 horsepower by putting on a Pep Boys fart-can muffler! Now it makes 6,000 horsepower at 200,000 rpms like I read about in a magazine, and I routinely blow the doors off Chevettes and Beetles. Or at least it will when I get my new pinstripes on.
I agree with the above comment.. get some real cars and then lets talk.. I will put my 2006 BMW 330i with sports package up against your little GTP and homeboy's stratus r/t! and for whoever said their sxt stratus outhandled a BMW.. LOL!!! I would give my car over to whoever just to see that!
NO NO NO don't do that!! the poor boy would wreck it!!!
If he tried to drive it like his little stratus he would end up in a tree a mile down the road!
My lamb 07 is cool, but I think that I wasted 1000000 and that's not all taxes, and gas. just get a good car that gets good miles per gallon! try to save money to spend with your families
Well, this is all a can say to you all.
