Just wanted this to be back on the top again And no just because a car is small does not mean it handles better. I bet the 04 Comp G will out handle any late model Grand Am GT. Stock for Stock -- do not give me any of the moded crap. Saying because it is smaller it handles better is silly. The Vette and Viper are bigger cars.

I will agree with jizz. A longer wider car will be more stable handling in general because it will have less chance of spinning around. My sister has a 99 GA and it handles like poop feals like a dead car when you drive it and the interior sucks. To say it is better than my 98 gt would be an opinion but i feel my 98 gt was put together better. Keep in mind i turn all the bolts on her car and hav ehad it all the way apart to work on it ie stereo and the grand prix is better. Her car has way more creeks and shimmys than my GP ever thought about having. When i bought my 04 gp i looked at the 04 ga loaded for less money but coudlnt do it because of her car and all the little interior imperfections. until you OWN both of them you cant have as much comment or say. I dont own her car but have had it on several trips and drive it frequently.

Oh yeah the neon is a tin box. But honestly wiht a few bucks on a second gen neon it will out handle our GPs. Thats the truth dont even argue it or i will steal my friends RT come and show you. He just got into auto crossing and went out on the course and within 2 runs was average on the course. And that was against people that run every course. A neon sad to say has a shitty ride and does feel like a tin can but can handle pretty good.

All in all, it's just what you like. Everyone has oppinions about what is best and worst. Hell...I bought my wife an 01 GA and I bought a 99 GP....The only reason I didnt get her a GP is the price......And she hauls the kiddos around in it....No Kiddos in my GP!.....Women Drivers! Always gotta tear something up...... I think it is better in some ways, but equally bad in other ways. But if I had any choice in cars, I'd take back my old '70 Fairlane 500 2dr. hardtop...with the 351w.......fast as hell and burned more gas than a fat chick at a bean eating contest.... Just my 2 cents......again....... Workin on 100........

Forget all the talk about Grand Am's - they're history. A real matchup is the Grand Prix vs the Grand Am replacement, the G6! The G6 is going to have a GTP model with a 240 hp V6! So what's the new Grand Prix going to have to rival that?? Please, please GM, how about a V8 for the Grand Prix!
