2007 Pontiac Grand Prix GT2 Review - A Supercharged Sedan From Home!

[@mat_jov]

The audacity to not clean the interior before letting someone review it

[@zelmatillet]

Now he has to clean his big friggin bottle 🤭

[@randalhill6283]

That's what I'm saying. I don't keep the interior of my car squeaky clean but I know I would make it spotless for a KZbin review.

[@samblensdorf7384]

It's over 12 years old, im not surprised.

[@bwofficial1776]

Fits the Pontiac experience though.

[@JohnDoe12515]

Right!!!!!!? Got my 2005 Echo clean just in case 😂

[@MarioSarabia-l2o]

why don't these people clean their cars before they loan them out to you Zach lol, that car is looking crusty lol

[@kennethrine8171]

My Brother had one really similar to this one. We put a tune in it. It was pretty quick and he had over 150,000 miles on it when he sold it. It still looked and ran great

[@cub1009]

The 3800 supercharged engines are so much fun, reliable, fuel efficient and will run for 300k+ miles or more.

[@RAFAEL199O]

They're not fuel efficient but they are much more reliable than a lot of Japanese engines

[@CenturionKZ]

@@RAFAEL199O 3800 without turbo are even more reliable

[@davidp2888]

The exterior of the car looks pretty clean. The inside...not so much. lol

[@Jswag2929]

The classic section 8 car, more payments have been made in child support than the car is worth 😂

[@jacquesc3166]

Not sure that joke works the way it does. 5-10-15 years of child support add up quick, I'm looking at 150K+ cumulative by the time I'm off the hook. That's brand new AMG money, not used to all hell Pontiac money.

[@Jswag2929]

@@jacquesc3166 I feel ya those payments suck lol just jokes 😆but shot ,ya those payments can keep add up fast just a classic Pontiac joke

[@sidefx996]

Not sure how many section 8 folks are actually making their child support payments lol

[@bwofficial1776]

The dirty interior is befitting Pontiac's hooptie reputation. These supercharged GMs were sleepers and this isn't a bad-looking car. Probably more comfortable than anything GM is making today. The self-denting fender is peak GM. Out here in the Mid-Atlantic, we joke that the best defensive driving course you can take is driving through a Wawa parking lot. Those parking lots are wild.

[@PoseidoncapsizesHi]

This car is mine actually and you are right about the fender my friend has an 07 impala and he has the similar self denting fender on his car

[@OLDS98]

I enjoyed hearing your reason for driving and liking GM. Well stated.

[@SouthsideKidd550]

I personally think in my opinion, the 1997-2003 bodystyle Grand Prix was a better built car than the 2004-2008 models. And the '97-'03 has that nostalgic 80s and 90s GM FWD feel.

[@andyk6796]

I had a '97 GTP with the supercharged 3800. I loved that car!

[@SouthsideKidd550]

@@andyk6796 I had a 2000 Grand Prix GT 2-Door dark green, gray leather with the n/a 3800. Gave me 8 years of trouble free ownership. A deer totaled mine.😔

[@PoseidoncapsizesHi]

@@SouthsideKidd550oh sorry to hear that from one Pontiac owner to another

[@SouthsideKidd550]

@@PoseidoncapsizesHi Thanks. I really do miss it. It had 155k on it when it was totaled. It was a clean car too. The deer hit the passenger side. Hit once and bounced and hit it again. Destroyed the door, killed the mirror and side marker light, the "3800" badge fell off, fender, knocked up the hood a tad one the side and its antlers dented the roof rail and busted the quarter glass and slightly dented the quarter panel. I was so sad.

[@boostedbird4799]

I put this engine, L32 with the M90, in my 01 firebird. A lot of fun. Decent power and torque, with a ton of potential. Turbo is definitely the better power potential. Currently finishing up adapting a Cobra m112 supercharger onto the L32 for the bird now

[@PoseidoncapsizesHi]

This L32 has a Gen V supercharger from factory not a M90 M90s were on the 97-03 models

[@boostedbird4799]

@@PoseidoncapsizesHi both are M90's. L32 has a gen V m90 and l67 has a gen 3. The gen V is essentially just a factory ported m90.

[@sneakerfreak2002]

Fargo, North Dakota and you aren’t even reviewing a burnt umber Ciera or a burgundy 98??

[@michaelcoleman6090]

I had an 04' GTP in greystone metallic, mine had the Comp G package with the red caliper brakes and upgraded wheels. It was a company car and I put 85k miles on it in 2 years. Overall it was one of my favorite cars to drive... I blew the transmission at 60k miles, but in the cars defense, it was only 18 months old and those 65k miles were very hard miles. The supercharged 3800 was a workhorse and very reliable, its an amazing engine. Great car! My company car after the GTP was the SS Impala with the 5.3 V8.

[@willyhwang1059]

dude that's one nasty interior

[@sirsardine1]

I'm definitely not a fan of active fuel management. I have it on my 2007 Impala 3.9l, and I can feel it switching the cylinders on and off lol. It's a bit concerning, but it does run really nicely and have a good amount of power. I just hope it'll last haha. I'm at 112k miles now

[@robertbastien713]

My 2008 3.9l impala has 220k miles with the active fuel management and still going strong! Just keep up with the oil changes and you should be safe. They do sell OBD modules to disable the active fuel management maybe give one of those a try 👍

[@sirsardine1]

@@robertbastien713 Nice! I try to change my oil every 5k miles or sooner. I plan on using 5w30 full synthetic from now on, but I actually noticed that the transitions between 3-6 were completely smooth on 5w20 full synthetic when a mechanic put that in instead... Very sus

[@sirsardine1]

They were immediately noticeable again on conventional 5w30 too...

[@anequallygoodchannel.2761]

Cheers from fargo! Moved away from there a year ago. It was weird seeing you drive on some of the roads I'd go on to get to work

[@PoseidoncapsizesHi]

Thx

[@kevinW826]

Last year I briefly worked with a guy who bought one of these online…while he was drunk…and it was in Florida. He paid while drunk, to have it shipped to Nova Scotia. It was a police repossession as it was owned by a drug dealer. The druggie had modified the block with cams and pistons so it was making about 350 horsepower if I remember. The guy who bought it added intake, headers, exhaust and a tune to push it to 500 horsepower. It was in very good shape. A deep green colour if I remember.

[@Andrew-n1v]

Great win my sir

[@MrCBG]

Man, I miss Pontiac styling. Too bad GM didn’t keep Pontiac and kill off Buick.

[@rogerrabbitonpcp6021]

Most 2000s and 90s pontiacs are crap. However the GM 3.8 V6 is BULLETPROOF.

[@redwolfmaddox3986]

Love the 3.8 BEAST of a v6

[@weegeemike]

Pound for pound, the 3800 is ths most dependsble and reliable V6 ever made. I live these cars

[@dylantran8492]

I have one of those CDs for a G6

[@Jonathan-bk3dq]

I've been in a 2004 Grand Prix of this generation, same color, but N/A 3.8. It was smooth, fast and quiet. Typical problem with these, the buttons fade and peel. Very common.

[@engineer_alv]

Fargo and GM blend so well. I can tell the OG owner did skip the TruCoat, though as this Grand Prix would've come unscathed from that fender bender. Best $500 you could've spent

[@PoseidoncapsizesHi]

This is my car actually in the video I have the carfax report and the car originally started in Florida as a rental car that’s why it did not have that TruCoat u talked about Also I am the 5th owner

[@AnthonyEvelyn]

One of Pontiac's most beautiful designs, I find it very attractive and pleasing to the eye. The interior styling and materials could have been better though. Really liked the GTP and GXP performance variants, only thing the 6 speed auto was weak. Wasnt enough to save Pontiac, the G6 failed on its end.

[@Jonathan-bk3dq]

The Grand Prix never had a 6 speed auto. They all had 4 speed autos.

[@DavePlaysTrombone]

To get those ABS and T/C lights to stop screaming at you, the whole wheel bearing assembly has to be replaced! Not kidding...

[@joeseeking3572]

Was hoping to see you try to get INTO the back seat. That roofline makes it a very awkward experience. Looked at one of these once and was a little intrigued (though interior build switchgear/materials/quality was sub-par - GM), but I knew I had to sometimes carry people (clients) and that design just wouldn't work. Fargo ND - blech. Did this once just to 'get' ND as a state visited; no need to repeat. Much prefer Sioux Falls SD.

[@bryanmchugh1307]

Why not? The PPV sedans are so overbuilt I would buy a Holden np

[@slimwhitman1301]

If I had the greatest car reviewer in the universe drive and film my car, I might clean it up a bit. …unless I want to gross out all the viewers.

[@mrslcom]

On a hot sunny day, the heads of rear seat passengers will be roasting. Some of the buttons on almost all GM radios will peel off after 10 years.

"a fist fight in front of Wawa" - likely arguing if it's called "pork roll" or "Taylor ham" (it's pork roll)

[@Parrotdise290]

How can a car interior look that nasty ? Last time I cleaned my car's interior was maybe a year ago and it is nowhere near as filthy as this car's interior, especially the center console😅

[@jamesweddle184]

Maybe it's the owner's primary residence?

[@rpgracer2135]

Ahh my first car...what a journey I had with that car. A Ugly faded green pontiac with a wonky front suspension, shitty broke heater that takes forever to work. Good time

[@robertvance1873]

GM would have had better Sales with these cars if they would have built better Transmissions for these cars it's always been the Weakness.

[@BennyT_3434]

Geez is that car beat! Had a 2004 GTP Comp G for a few years, sharp car but not as quick as expected and really started to fall apart at around 100k miles, replaced it with a Volvo s60 T6 that was better in every way, I still have my GTO tho, so Pontiac 4ever, haha

[@southernfriedshenanigans3639]

Down below we have 500 ink pens and a bunch of crusty, questionable substances that Dakota didn’t bother cleaning before his car was reviewed on KZbin for the world to see. What a shame. Guys, if Zack doesn’t review your car, don’t be offended. It just isn’t dirty or dilapidated enough to be featured on the channel.

[@cardwellave2]

Will the stickers be restocked on your site soon?

[@davinp]

GM used cheap plastics in the interior.

@@bwofficial1776 Sure, but those buyers weren’t likely to cross shop between an Accord and a Grand Prix. These two cars were designed to appeal to different tastes and markets.

How many pens does one person need in a car?

[@doug6191]

This generation had the unfortunate task of replacing an awesome design. And it failed miserably. The exterior was not attractive at all, and the interior was no better. Add to that the typical GM awful interior materials (3:41 for example), and this was a lousy car overall.
