1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP review from North America

Had to get rear window motor replace. Apparently, it was burned out when I bought it.

Radio clock would overheat and mess up. No biggy though. Went to an aftermarket sound system.

Belt tensioner pulley had to be replaced. Started to squeek really bad.

Brakes are the weakest point on the car. Squealing was the worst of any car I owned. Brake upgrade kit was the best thing to do to the car.

Well, nothing really bad has happened to the car. What's to say about it. Other than the normal wear and tear, this car runs awesome. On long trips, the car is extremely comfortable. Gas mileage is great. Averaged 28 on the highway traveling from Florida to Okalahoma. Everyone who rides in the car comment on how big the car is and how smooth it rides. Not to mention, the car turns head with its bright red paint.

The one thing I'd advice that you get when you purchase one of these cars is a wheel/tire upgrade. With the supercharged motor, this thing loves to spin the wheels easy, especially in wet weather.

Handling for the car is really good for its size, and not to mention that it is front drive. After putting 18 inch rims, and getting a higher rating tire, it handles awesome, even in wet weather. Some under-steer is evident, but its not bad.

For those who like to upgrade the performance on the car, you'll be surprised on how many performance parts are available for the car. And not to mention the cheap price for them.

The acceleration on this thing is awesome. With a little modifications, like a pulley swap, throttle body spacer, chip, and exhaust, I blew the doors off my friend new 2002 Mustang GT. And, if you want to make it a sleeper, all you got to do is remove the GTP badges on the side of the doors, and you'll surprise a lot of people out there.

Have fun and safe driving.
