They like the GTP, though it is a big car. Since both my kids are basically young teens, more interior room is much more appreciated, especially in a car that can still give some fast cars, a good run for their money.

In 2001, I had a GP GT as a rental for a week. You can't beat good torque. I can only imagine what the supercharger will do  The strange thing was that the GT was way better on gas than the Grand Am, and really didn't feel much bigger than the GP. Ah well...in the next few years, maybe you can get a new GP with some V8 juice

A GTO would really be nice, especially with a whipple supercharger and supporting mods.

I just remembered, the first and only time i met you  I had a GP gt as a rental except mine was silver and no s/c And did that thing ever GO , im my way home late that night i closed the dash lights (kind of enoying having that red glare) just listening to some tunes, until i flew by another car , when i re-opened the dash lights i was going (let's just say i was going fast and not get this post locked by Mark ) after that i used the cruise control all the way to Quebec and then just follow the high speed traffic

Eric I remember when you came over to my house. The GTP, of this vintage, is well capable of being in the 13's in the 1/4, in the 6's (or 5's) to 60mph, with only a small amount of bolt on mods. I digress, but you know I did buy this car to be my all year vehicle.

Congrads on the car Chris!!!
Now...someone keep this thread alive
I'm looking for a Contour/Mystique
V6 or 4cyl
Max price $2750
MUST BE ATX!!!!
Had to edit this to add for Chris:
1) Thank god you didn't buy an import.
2) Thank god it's not silver....I'd think you're nuts
3) Now you have a performance oriented car from each of the big 3, but for some reason I thought you'd get a Cobalt SS for the GM factor lol
4) Can't wait to see it...I drove one at the dealership a few weeks ago...it wasn't bad.
5) That thing is going to be washed daily given your pickiness of cleanliness of your cars....and you know I mean that in the nicest way lol
6) I give it 3 months before that "wish list" is bought
7) You just became more hated by me

Dan, there is a 1995 SE in the Trader for $3300.00, price dropped from $4000.00. Why don't you try to see if they will go lower on the price? My wish list will have to wait until after Christmas, since, I spent a heck of a lot of money already, no room to spare for car mods, for now.
