Awsome car - the hood flames.
Disclaimer: I will probally offend you with what is written in this post.
^^^ kinda agree, not sure on if the flames are staying or not.
Nice pick up especially with the the s/c. I say loose the flames and drop it.
they kinda look like the cheap pep boys wheels
Thanks for the info! Skyler............ now i can fix my registry for this whip
nice gtp... if you plan on modding it, make sure you do your homework first.
Nice car indeed. Good pick up. I like the way the GTP's look but they are too big of a car for me. Friend had a GT and it was real nice inside though. Drove real nice too.
of course, GTP, i've gotta put my $.02 in
thing looks GREAT. that is one clean car. where' dyou get it?
i honestly dont mind the flames, much better than the ones on my car. though i do like my silver a little better. but yours are a much better job. also, that's the exact hood i want on mine. the F1 ram air. i love it compared to the SD hood, and it's a little more unique in the world of GP's, too.
ATK2008, to me the car already looks dropped. all around, a little over 1", could just be the wheel/tire combo, though. those fender gaps are definetly nowhere near stock.
and a +1000 on the research before you mod. i've seen many people blow up their cars by not researching. it's not the engine's fault, stock bottom ends are running consistant 9's. if you've got any questions, we're here to help.
again though... beautiful car!
quick afterthought, get rid of that hideous front plate if you can. im not sure where you live, and dont feel like looking it up, but if you can, get rid of it. it makes the front end 100x better IMO

Nice ride. The hood flames dont look that bad at all.
Congrats.
Get a new hood, and youll be balling.

yeah i was kinda thinking that it might be a little bit. imo i say it needs more of a drop then. the gtps i see around all the time always looked slammed for some reason. still looks good though...

I got it at a local dealership my dad works at, been doing some research on Clubgp.com but been waiting 2+ weeks now for my account to get activated on they're side
. Your supposed to have a front plate here but i never did on the cav, i wanna get the filler plate ive seen on some of the GP's on clubgp.
jinxed, no love for the hood? i personally love that hood. it's got the pontiac ram air thing goin on.
i atually really dislike slammed GTP's. they look better with a little rake in em. a little over 1" gap in the front, and at least 1.5" in the back.

No love at all, man.
That being said ... looking at a GTP for a daily once the Baby Blue Bentley Beater Cavalier RS bites the dust.
We own an Impala right now. I love the W-Bodies.

Nice buy should have gotten a 2004+ GTP like i did
I have been on CLub GP since October last year. Lots of good info but some bad. These cars can be awesome when modded properly. But you can't just put a smaller pulley on your cars. Some good starting mods from my reading on there is intake, replacing the down pipe a 180 Theremostate and reprogrammed PCM. The stock exhaust is pretty good a number of people say the stock exhaust is good for up to about 300 Hp.
My car will be staying stock for a while.

sorry, it's just hard to get some people to understand that these cars take the eye of a hawk to do right. you have to watch what every move you make does to the car, because one mess up and BOOM.
and yes, stock exhaust (catback) is good for a high 12 second pass (usually equating to ~300whp)
