Limited Editions

So far, there are six limited (or special) editions of the current W-body Grand Prix.

SLP's Grand Prix GTX (Production)

What do you get when you add ram air induction to an already power-ridden Grand Prix? SLP's GTX, that's what. The basic package includes ram air induction, special GTX badging to replace your standard badging, and custom GTX key fobs. Ram air adds approximately 10 horsepower to your Grand Prix, be it an SE, GT, or GTP. Other items available include a full stainless steel cat-back exhaust system, sunroof, synthetic fluids package, and more.
NOTE: This is not a limited edition because SLP will make as many as possible.
