Ugly.

The GTX badging is awful.

N* no mod potential. It's already tapped out.

so people do exhaust mods and intake mods to try and gain 10hp, but somehow 300HP v8 is not worth it?

that would be awesome!

If I put that motor in my GT I just gained 100HP so as far as "no mods" for it, that would be ok by me , lol.

and the 5 speed would be fun too.

as far as the car itself, I don't really like what he has done to it, but the motor and trans, I like it.

Well with the money spent to acquire the N* and fab up an install you can have a 400hp plus V6.

yea I know, anything can be done pending your wallet depth.

since I own a GT with 150k miles, should say something about how much money I DON'T have, lol.

it does look like the N* would be a real pain in the A** to work on in the grand prix if there were any issues.

I just think its a cool idea, and not saying its better than modding a v6, because I know there is more HP potential from the V6. The V8 would sound cool, and have plenty of torque to get you around town in a hurry. I like the 5 speed part too, but I don't know what tranny he is using or anything (how reliable it would be).

the car does look clean and straight like he says it does and the install looks very well done. I'm not crazy about the body kit at all and the tu-tone paint needs something extra...strikes me as unfinished. I suppose if you could grab it for good price you could afford some changes to improve the looks. I'll bet the exhaust note is boss tho.

It was probably a nice setup a few years ago when it was done but there are better options nowadays,and for the money involved you could grab a used GTO .Chico(pops)

Seen this posted a few times before...

Definitely not worth the money invested, but that's a sweet ride to me!

I would tear off that body kit and put back on a GT-GTP bumpers and make it a sleeper. I like the Pontiac symbol in the paint that runs on the top.

Also, exhaust it not to my liking, but I doubt he will get what he wants for that car...

He's had that thing for sale for so long now, I think it's obvious that nobody wants to buy it.

The way the bids are going, it looks like someone is going to get a good deal.
