I had a really fast gtp too, beat quarter mile time of 12.9 on street tires. Dynod at only 308 horsepower but 387 torque at the wheels. One of the most underated cars ever and its also my daily driver that gets 32 mpg on the highway(if pedal is not to the floor haha). These cars come with 280 torque stock which is pretty damm good for a v6 grand prix from over 10 years ago. The only bad thing about these cars is traction. Im not a big fan of pontiac but I love this car and engine.
@smallblocksupercharg have him check his sparkplugs and lifters. I drove my car around without even knowing i had a Cylinder 4 miss-fire. once that was fixed i gained a ton of power back! now i have a lifter knock and need to get that fixed too
@barffboy217 well i had a similar problem wit my monte, turned out to that the threads for the rocker arm bolt ripped out, i had it helicoiled about a year and a half ago, and its been doing fine, the helicoil is about 2-3 times stronger than the original threads, just a suggestion
GTP is for the supercharged version, I wouldn't really consider it a trim level, like there's a difference of the inside trim or something. I've seen GT's same trim as a GTP
yeah but how long did it last i beat on my car almost everytime it's out and have 120,000miles on it and now my tranny is shitty but it's stock so i knew it was gonna shit and i can get a new motor for a lil over 2000 but i won't need one for a bit
the lowest slightly upgraded tranny is around $1600 it's good for near stock cars then they have a fully built one for $3300 and thats good for all the 12sec. runs you want

You're fucking dumb. Obviously the GTP wasn't stock but that mercedes was fucked and was trying. SL500s aren't fast, they're quick but quick doesn't break out of 13 second quarters. Which for a GTP is easy. Everyone knows GTPs love mods, $500 and you're running mid-high 13s @100-102mphish.
Look at what is happening to GM DOES THAT GIVE U THE SLIGHTEST IDEA OF WHAT IS GOING ON .. noone wants to spend money on american shit..When ppl get there money right everyone wants to go european ppl that cant afford that buy shitty american cars maybe win a race but in the end ur cars has no resale and is just.. shit cars enuff said
look how many american cars win in races around tracks. corvettes and vipers if their suspension is done right. And i do believe that the 427 or 429 shelby cobra beat many cars in races like porsche and ferarri (spelling on those i dont care) and then the gt40 won the endurance races like le manz
if you only knew. have you heard of the british touring car championship? little mini's smoked the camaros and rustangs. did you know that ford went to the brits to design the gt40, did you know that cobra is a old british car the company was called ac, well shelby took the car through out the i-6 and through in a weak 289 cleavland? shows how much you know
DID you know, you get 100% more pussy in mustangs and camaros? Did you know women get turned on by the feeling of torq and vibration in a car? Pull up in a mini, reet reet Gay car
You are incorrect on some of your information. 1. Yes the original 289 Cobra was originally an AC Ace but the 427 Cobra was NOT an AC. 2. The 289 is NOT referred to as a Cleveland, it was made there but is a Windsor design. 3. Yes the GT40 was created in the UK but what you do NOT realize is alot of American engineers were involved in the desigin and build of that car.
does it look like these cars are trying to go around a corner? you dumbfuck. if we wanted a car designed to race around corners, it wouldnt be designed for straight shot acceleration.
Most cars can have class just depends on how you work with the car. But if american car companies wanted to spend tons of money on each car to make it ride nice and link satellites in outerspace and what not im sure we could but then only certain people could afford it. Like you for instance you cant afford the sl500 so you probably drive some lower class car that you could afford. So think before you talk when you drive a car with less class that would lose to this car.
yes lets spend shit loads of money on that pos sl500 when we can spend about 5k on a gtp and put 5k work into it and it has just about 700hp if u tune everything right hmmmm AMERICAN CARS FTW
first off, YOU ARE A DUMBASS. That out of the way, i would like to see you get a GTP to have 700hp? for that you would have to replace evry fucking part of the engine, there is no way man. I have a GTP, so im not hating on them, im just saying that only a complete FUCKING RETARD would choose a Pontiac Gtp over a MERCEDES.
I dont usually get involved with flame wars. But I just want to point out that the L67 bottom end can hold up to over 1000 bhp. ZZP and intense have both done it. You have to remember that GM has been perfecting this stuff since the 60s when they introduced the Fireball V6. Even though the 3800 was a new design, it benefited form years of development after the Buick Grand Nationals. And some people just plain don't care for Mercedes.
ubicomp you really shouldnt talk. the gtp is not pushing anywere near 302 hp from the factory i believe it is more around 240. gtp guys buy these cars simply because you can have a 12 second car for a reasonable amount of money while enjoying heatd leather seats and a sun roof. stop bithing because your overweight pos vehicles get whooped on the track
Also, the SL500 weighs in at a little over two tons, with 302 hp. The Pontiac makes about the same hp with about 500 fewer pounds to carry around. This was never much of a race.
who cares about american garbage GTP will be worth less than 60% of its retail value by this may or june for that sl500 to drop 60% its retail will take at least a decade : Why the fuck would that sl500 even race that american junk dummy its made for class not speed !!!
Coupla things.. I just bought my '05 SL500 for about 60% less than it's orignal price, but that's because of the economy. From here on out, you're right, it will likely hold its value much better than anything GM. Second, you don't buy a stock SL500 to drag race. That's what an SL55 is for, against which the Pontiac wouldn't have stood a chance. Yes, an SL500 is ten times the car a Pontiac is, but drag racing is about one thing, the fastest time. In this respect, the Pontiac won, no biggie.
who cares about american garbage GTP will be worth less than 60% of its retail value for that sl500 to drop 60% its retail will take at least a decade
y is everbody making v8 excuses? who said the gtp has more hp? um 240/280 modded he might be 280/340. dollar wise gtp won performance wise he did also
ooh you american trying always to be matcho and shit. you know, big cars, big food, big houses blablabla.. whats wrong with you?? must you always prove your self, its pathetic! its sign of poor confidence ang huge complex in you ;) thats how the rest of the world look at you. so for the OT sl500 may be slower but fuck it, it looks way better, feels mutch better while driving and everything else. take a sl65 or sl73.. not to mention the slr ;) haha pussies!
..we jus lyk diffrent cars...cause i eat hamburgers n shit dnt mean ima go 2 japan n makefun of dem 4 eatin rice...pussy maybe we r all go n yall is all show...
So what! I have an SL500, it is a cruiser not a bruiser and the girls love it! Plenty can be had to go fast for the money but you will be going home alone!
even tho the gtpos won at the end of the day the sl55 amg will get more women, with the gtp it will get old fat chicks ahahh if that mostly gay dudes
SL500 is a waste of money and space so many cars can be had for that kind of money that would lay it to waste . Gtp is a cheap car that preforms well for the dollar unlike the SL500. But the SL500 is a good looking car that will get the ladies quick.
The reason SL500 fell behind is because the 315 HP car plus driver weighs about 4400 pounds so the other car probably had both weight and horsepower advantage and also gear ratio. I think in a 5 mile race probably SL500 will catch up. SL500 is an autobahn car not a quarter-mile race car.
so ur saying the SL500 is an autobahn car not a quarter mile??But dude neither is the GTP. AS a matter of fact, the SL500 is considered a sports car and luxury all together, GTP= fully loaded version of Grand Prix correct me if im wrong. but isnt the SL a V8 5.0L SC some vs GTP that's a 3.8L SC. Greattt
To make a car suitable for high-speed, comfortable, autobahn driving they've made SL500 heavy, low to the ground, the gear ratios are set so shift smoothly and SL has a natural 5.0 not supercharg or turbo.The main reasons for GTP to be quicker are weight and gear ratio.GTP=3500ibs SL=4200. Drive GTP at 140mph then you'll wish you were inside a SL.Comparing these 2 cars is like comparing Bruce-Lee with a tattooed pro wrestler :)
Lower gear ratio = alot better acceleration. And the GTP does NOT blow off the road from wind if yer goen over 100mph. I had it up to 130 in Western Nebraska...where its ALWAYS windy cause of the elevation change when yer driving towards Wyoming. I never had any problems at 130 in that car out there in the great plains where theres nothing to stop the wind
Low gear ratio makes better acceleration but also makes higher rev at higher speeds unless the car has a 5 or 6-speed transmission. I had a 70 Roadrunner with low ratio and it was a monster at taking off but around 80 it started Reving too fast because of 3-speed trans.
agreed..Technically lower gear ratio simply means More torque less speed but the benz apperantly has 1 more extra gear. I dk what this kids talking about I hit 130mph on the GTP at 3000 RPMs and rode smoother than my ninja hitting 150
i didnt say i was at 3000 RPM's im saying i was pleased at how the car rode at 130...for how much i payed for the car compared to how much u pay for a foreign car like that.
Anything can beat an sl500...

Correction: SL500 = 5.0 V8 + no SC + 4165 pounds + sticks to the road up to 155mph + higher gear ratio

agreed..Technically lower gear ratio simply means More torque less speed but the benz apperantly has 1 more extra gear. I dk what this kids talking about I hit 130mph on the GTP at 3000 RPMs and rode smoother than my ninja hitting 150

i didnt say i was at 3000 RPM's im saying i was pleased at how the car rode at 130...for how much i payed for the car compared to how much u pay for a foreign car like that.
