Hello all. I have a 2000 GTP. I bought it new. Ok, so it took me a while to get brave enough to start wanting to tweak it a bit (well that and I just paid it off, so it is allll mine now). I have loved this model since it hit the roads. I have had a few issues along the way, but overall I have been rather more than a little pleased with my black beauty.
I am a newbie so bear with me please. I do have an above average knowledge of cars, but haven't really kept my 'feet wet' for many years so I am very rusty!
We are going to hit 42,000 today. I would love to get some coaching on many issues including the extra horsepower tweaks. I know it can be done, just not sure what, where, etc. I have always been rather anal about maintanence so the car, although not babied
. So I would like to do this right. Although I once again won't be doing it myself, I would like to come from a point of knowledge while I am shopping around.
The car was bought originally as a family car that would be FUN for me commuting to work or whatever. It isn't so much a family car now though that is part of the problems I am having. When everyone gets in the car for an outing, the car can't handle the load. Please HELP. I do NOT want to have to trade her for an SUV!! I want to get my 'driving excitement' back yet it must be tough enough for that occasional load. I live in an area of land mines...er potholes and rough pavement. As well as a place that doesn't seem to believe a car should even be this low (to which the front spoiler can attest!). So lowering it further is out of the question.
I appreciate all your help.
Faith
