I told my wife that I wanted to start putting mods on my stock 97 GT. She said "Just find a GTP around the same year for a good price, that would be a lot easier" Holy crap! So if anyone knows of a GTP late 90's around 7k in the Colorado Springs area, please let me know. There was a 98 GTP coupe for 6,400, but it sold yesterday. If you have any info, my email is DORLEYII@msn.com Thanks

You should have no problem finding one in that price range. Look for a '98 and up.

About the only positive thing I can say about the 97's, is when you get a reprogrammed PCM you don't have to get a case learn, just switch out the little module.

I would say a '00 GTP.......  Look at clubgp and see if anyone close to you is selling their GTP.

Well, if anyone cares, I found a dark green 98 GTP sedan. It has a decent exhaust, the u-bend delete and it sounds pretty mean. It also has a HUD and about 89000 miles. I'm picking it up Saturday for 7400 not including the trade in of my 92 Explorer. I'm pretty psyched about having a 97 GT and a 98 GTP. Hurray for me!

I tried to get the wife to buy a GP when she was looking. She said "No, I want a foreign car." She bought a Toyota Avalon, built in Kentucky. ...and she got just a little upset when I told her. I had to explain the whole Toyota/NASCAR thing to her.
