I had to daily it for a while when both of my vehicles (project and daily) were down...I enjoyed that car a lot. She traded it in for a brand new 2008 Infiniti G37S, which she still has to this day with like 20k miles on it..she loves speeds but doesnt drive anymore..

The GM 3.8 V6 is the best V6 ever made period. Its reliable out of the box and when you throw boost at it it takes it like a champ.

I swapped my '02 to a 5-speed F23 with a s/c series III from an '04, plus headers/intake & tune. Maybe about 220-230 at the wheels but so, SO much fun to drive. The "war cry" of a supercharger whine while rowing through 2nd, 3rd, and 4th is quite the experience. Torque steer is rare at my close-to-stock power level though, not a problem.

[@sock979]

The 3.8 is such an awesome engine and it's so efficient for being a 90° pushrod V6. It's crazy and they can be made pretty powerful. My uncle used to use them in some hobby racing stuff and he said that they would take about 400 wheel horsepower all day long on a stock block stock rotating assembly even my grandma had. I think it was a Park avenue that was supercharged and it was such an old person car but it would actually go like stink for what it looked like although my uncle may have had something to do with that too, it may not have been stuck

Add-on, external transmission coolers were good for longer transmission service (not sure if that was Park Ave. [Ultra?] incl. pkg.ing or not but unmarked [police] upgrades included a trans. cooler. 4-wheel disc helped to make Park Ave.s stop better than Olds 88/LSS counterparts, too.

OH, and the LeSabre trans were not so reliable, but I did put a rebuilt in a '98 LeSabre with only 115k miles on it. It's my son's car now with 185K.

Not a fan of the Park Ave. looks compared to Olds LSS but I can infer your points regarding Park Ave. having had better options - rear disc braking, bigger side mirrors with auto dimming and, IIRC, deicing mirrors.

Needs AWD any options for older fwd gms? And some better control arms or sway bars that torque steer can be fixed

[@That_Handle]

Am curious myself. With GM's feasibility studies/experiments with AWD and 4-wheel steering tucked into testbed Fieros and Chevy Berettas tested with AWD (w/ a turbo V6?), I'm curious if a table of AWDrivetrains exists for cross-referencing feasibilities across plat.s

I worked for a guy, an old construction guy from West Virginia, who is really into cars. He had one of these when I first started working for him. It was a rocket ship for sure. Never forgot that car always wanted one.

My friend in highschool had a GTP with a ported blower and a cam. It was an amazing car. Looked great drove super smooth and was a burnout king. He could punch it and smoke the tires down the entire street

Oh shit it's a Nebraska car. You must've done this during the ICC? Omaha Represent!

Very amazing Pontiac GTP with Super/Turbo charger set up man daam!

I wanna twin charge my 05 tony Stewart monte carlo

[@1k_vonte]

I have heard that twin charged tuning wise is a headache

[@DreuScuhDoo]

I knew a guy who made 600 wheel on e85 monte carlos are monsters for the drag strip

[@erickbernard8208]

@DreuScuhDoo the monte was handed down to me by my mom, I also have a 2008 impala ss

[@michaelboots7690]

That would be sick just don't run people over with it 😬

[@civicsr2cool]

Single turbo is easier sbd better for daily driving. Twin is fun for the cool factor lol

[@dlang6487]

Had a GTP. Ran to 180k miles until the transmission starting sheering itself. Changing the tranny fluid looked like a metal flake paint job! Loved that car so much and used so many ZZP parts!

[@B2quick]

Honestly one of my child hood dream cars! I road in one that literally roasted tires like we were driving on ice too easily... My uncle has the gxp and that car is stupid scary we passed someone one day and when he punched it to pass it lit the tires at 55 mph these cars are insane for there time

[@wonkywombat9691]

My stock 97 Grand Prix GT was legit my favorite car ive ever owned. Naturally aspirated it still spun tires whenever the fuck i wanted. HIGHLY underrated car. 3800 fanboy forever.

[@antonarcane93]

I love that there are maniacs out there that do builds like this. So cool!

[@ericbrownlee6274]

In my early 20s I had a GTP and absolutely loved that car, had cam, headers, forged pistons, and exhaust done on it, and had been tuned. I don’t remember what the power on it was as my dad did most of the work on the car. My dad had a basically identical Regal GS. Both cars were an absolutely blast to drive and would absolutely smoke most of the other sporty cars in our town.

[@c.badalucco]

I had a 97 gtp with mods and tuned had around 300hp at least loved that car theyre slept on for sure

[@blaztncruze]

Love the Grand Prix GTs and GTPs. One of my top 5 faves

[@HurstTheHybrid]

THANK GOD you made a video on him. I have a GTP with 430hp S/C

[@Boguardis]

Don't think I've ever seen a twincharged 3.8 Buick. That's crazy. Must be a moderate setup too because these will make well into the high triple digits for horsepower when cranked up.

[@austinmcbride7139]

As a former owner of an 02 GTP that I adored....this thing is the coolest thing in the world to me wow

[@Zer0_C001]

I like that part where the car went “Wooooooooo, Psshhhhh” that’s was my fav.

[@mopargm9329]

Love GTPs and had many. Currently and till I die own an 04 Dale Jr supercharged L67 Monte Carlo SS

[@deezyD87]

I have the 2004 monte carlo intimidator ss with the supercharged 3.8 it's still under 100k miles. Love it. It's my daily
