GTP- Supercharged V6 (3800)
GT- NA V6 (3800) GP with more standard options
SE- NA V6 (3100/3800) Basic version of the GP
GXP- NA V8 (5.3L) 06+ years only?

Also theres the GTX, its the same as GTP but has CAI, Hood scoops, and nice 17 inch wheels and exhaust from SLP.Performance (division under GM)

and I think theres more but somebody else will chime in on it with the correct answer.

I'm sure somewhere, someone put an "R" behind the GT so they have a GT-R. Like all the ricers running around.
There is even a kid on the AF base where I work that put SS emblems on his Monte Carlo LS.
Have you seen the video on streetfire.net with the special edition Mustang GTR. LOL

For the record, 'NA' means naturally aspirated, meaning .. no 'charge of any sort. Not supercharged, not turbocharged.

Whoever told you it was a twincharged V6 needs to stop smoking the peyote.

Motor-wise, 98greenGT has it. The SE was offered with the 3800 until 1999ish. SE's kind of had a halfie year for their changes, so it's hard to pinpoint exactly.

The rest of the things these guys are talking about are different trims, but you asked about motors, so try not to get confused. laugh

Yea, the GXP debuted in 2005, and also some SE's in the year 2000's had the 3.8 as well, I've seen a couple on ebay unless the owners put down the wrong year which I highly doubt it.

Speaking of Mary Kay editions, I thought Mary Kay only had pink cars. Until yesterday driving home somewhere between Austin and Harper (or was it Fredricksburg?), I saw a silver Mary Kay GP.

It's not just GPs. Wikipedia:
"[edit] The Car
In 1968, Mary Kay Ash purchased the first Pink Cadillac, where it was repainted on site, by the dealership owner, to match the Mountain Laurel Blush in the compact.[35] It was such a good rolling advertisement that Mary Kay Ash decided to reward her top five producers, by providing them with a Pink Cadillac paid for by the company in 1969. Pink was an obvious color choice --- matching the company's eye and lip color palettes. Since 1980, the shade used by the Mary Kay fleet has been exclusive to Mary Kay. Every two years, a Director or National can requalify for a new Cadillac. When the two year lease has expired, the cars are repainted, prior to being auctioned off. The shade of pink has changed over the years. In 1998, the color was changed to "pearlized pink". In honor of its 35th anniversary, the Mary Kay edition, white GMC Jimmy sport utility vehicle was offered in the United States. In 2007, the color changed to either black, or smoky platinum, depending upon which model the consultant chose to lease.


The Mary Kay pink Cadillacs available to qualified directors.In the United States, the 2006 vehicle choice consisted of a Pontiac Vibe, Pontiac Grand Prix or a Cadillac. A Mary Kay director that qualifies for a car may choose from a Cadillac DTS, a Cadillac CTS, or a Cadillac SRX. In 2007 the offered cars were Saturn Vue, Pontiac G6, Pontiac Vibe, Cadillac CTS, and Saturn Aura.[36]

The current (2005)GM (USA) fleet size is 9,870.[37]

In the United Kingdom, Germany, The Netherlands, and Spain, the car is a pink Mercedes-Benz. In Argentina, one receives a pink Ford, while in Taiwan, it is a pink Toyota.[38]. In Australia, one gets to choose between a Ford Falcon, or Volkswagen Beetle.[39] In China, the vehicle is a pink Volkswagen Santana. In the Nordic countries you receive a pink Volvo V50.[40]

The specific qualifications for earning the car depend upon the country, and vehicle that is desired. If those qualifications are not met, then the Car Driver has to pay for a portion of the lease of the car for that month. Meeting the qualifications entitles the Car Driver to pay no monthly lease and 85% of the car insurance, or a pre-determined cash compensation award.[41]

Since the program's inception, more than 100,000 Independent sales force members have qualified for the use of a Career Car or elected the cash compensation option.[8] It is not known how many Directors select the cash option in lieu of the car, but GM estimates that it has built 100,000 pink Cadillacs for Mary Kay.[35]"

Interesting. The GP I saw was a newer-generation GP with MARY KAY on the door. No "Signature" any where to be seen. That doesnt mean that it wasnt on the car, I just didnt see the badges. Thanks for education, yall. Didnt realize Mary Kay sprayed their cars in anything but pink.
