i was on my way home from my friend's work, this Grand Prix GT pulled up to me and started to rev his engin. i looked over and i didn't notice anything special, no mod, no stickers, just a normal Grand Prix GT. i was like "oh please, don't even think about man" So i gave him a car length jump, and i never caught up, i was suprised, feel kind of stupid too. i ran him again, this time i didn't give him the jump, we both floored at the same time, he got me about one car length before i had to shut down cuz of the traffic, and he still pulling away slowly. we both rolled down our windows and chat alittle. he refuse to tell me wut is done to his car, and he also accusing me having a "TURBO", cuz the "high whistling" noise coming from the Stillen Y-pipe. my conclusion is that wasn't a GT, maybe it's a heavily mod'ed GTP with a GT emblem on it, cuz i know in fact that i can beat a GTP with smaller pully on it. wut do you think??

Was it definately a newer body style Grand Prix? Pontiac made a Grand Prix Turbo in the early 90s that seems like it could be made to go fast easily. It came stock with 205hp and 225lb-ft (at something like 2200rpm). If I remember correctly, it was a turbo 3.1L. The 3.1 replaced the 2.8...and wasn't anything remotely related to a performance engine. 140HP n/a.
