I see a lot of GTO people are here, but how may Grand Prix people are on here?:nuts:

I'm both ;)

i was looking at a grand prix when i was looking for a new car, but i couldn't say no to the muscle... and power coming from the ls2. http://www.smiliesftw.com/x/wookiee.gif

Gto Baby!!

I'm both ;)

Your gay:fawkdance:

Grand Prix < GTO < G8

Your gay:fawkdance:

Not gay, but Bi. He goes both ways. :D

Both here also. The Grand Prix is the wifes car now.

Im so blessed that I have a GTO and a Bonneville... Yeah Im a "balla."


In case youre wondering... the GTO is the fun car.:yumyum:

Sorry GP guys, FWD is against my religion. ;)

Currently 04 GTO, previously 04 CompG.

No love for the GP.:( Well:fawkdance: lol

GTO's Only

No love for the GP.:( Well:fawkdance: lol

It's not no love, a lot of us had a GP, we just moved onto RWD once we figured out the GP's limits. :D

I had a 2004 GP-GTP Comp-G and Traded it for a 2004 GTO and Traded it for my current 2006 TBSS.

So I apply to all 3 answers :)

Grand Prix < GTO < G8

Dude are you smoking crack. 400 hp is never less than 362 hp. And four doors are for old people.

It's not no love, a lot of us had a GP, we just moved onto RWD once we figured out the GP's limits. :D

I have been realy thinking about trading in the GP for a 05-06 GTO and then trade that in on a G8 GXP when they come out. I just can not find a good price on a used 05 around here.

I had a 2004 Grand Prix GTP Comp G (lease). Now it's a 1996 3.1 liter Buick Century & a 2006 4.2 liter GMC Envoy XL

I NEED a G8 GT soon!

the G8 is due in August so getting a GTO now and trading it in 5 months would not be a good plan.

The G8 GT is due in August but the GXP is not. I would end up keeping the GTO for around 2 years.

No he isn't... it isn't ALL about power. While the interior of the GTO is nice, the G8 will be better...

Listen to ANYBODY from Australia who has a VY Commodore who has test driven or bought a VE... they will tell you how much superior it is to the model it replaced, which you know as the GTO. Hell it should be, it's an all-new car.

As for saying four doors are for old people... perhaps, but tell that to the guy flying past you in a BMW M5, Caddy STS-v, Caddy CTS-v, MB CLS63 AMG, MB E55 AMG, MB S65 AMG... and the list could go on and on...

Goaters rule!

Well if he had modded his GTO like any good goat owner should he wouldn't have to worry about the 4 door cars above.

four doors are for people who have friends... extra friends = more room... simple... :D

Well if he had modded his GTO like any good goat owner should he wouldn't have to worry about the 4 door cars above.

Don't forget that all of the cars I mentioned can be modded as well. Hell, more than half of them had forced induction so they can be modded with a simple pulley swap or boost controller, depending on the application.

And most modded GTOs I know would still have a helluva time with a 500hp M5, 469hp E55 or 612hp S65.

most but not all :gr_devil:

I love a good coupe but my boys are growing and need the extra room. So a 4-door will always be concidered by me.

Ya Baby got a 04 GTO

Ya Baby got a 03 Aztek

....do I get partial credit if a GP was my previous ride?

Gto ;) @)$()@(#()@#

Four doors are for old people? Do you mean over 20? :P Better rigidity with lighter weight, yeah that's stupid.

I have the GTO and 2 Grand Ams. Do 2 Grand Ams = 1 Grand Prix?

I would be from the Prix side of the world

Grand Prix here

Sorry just relised grand prix are I thought you were having a go calling each other a grand pri#k..
I own a VY SS and when you compare my interior to a VE's there's no contest the VE wins hands down..

four doors are for people who have friends... extra friends = more room... simple... :D
Yeah, I see the G8 as a totally different car than the GTO. It will compete with Lexus, Infinity and BMW. It is a "classy" cruzer that you can take out to dinner all decked out with another couple. It will be impressive and will look right in a parking lot full of the world's best high class sedans.

the G8 is due in August so getting a GTO now and trading it in 5 months would not be a good plan.

August of 07? I thought I read on autoblog early 08. I'm all for august, is that set in stone?

BTW, I had a 99 GP GT, currently have a '04 GTO with a second baby due in march.... I need the extra set of doors.

gave up the GP for da GTO

Whats a Grand Prix?


:D

04 M6 GTO to go with a G8 GT A6

GTO FTW! FWD FTL!

Damn, it edits out the caps here too. Hmm, maybe I've typed enough for it to work. Yup.

I have the GTO and 2 Grand Ams. Do 2 Grand Ams = 1 Grand Prix?

NO!:cursin:

I own "The Great One."

Anybody else admit to owning one??http://www.g8board.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=40&stc=1&d=1170970851

Well, I'm a used '03 Silverado owner here. Traded in my '88 Knight Rider T/A for it. I've been following the GTO world since '04 and always wanted to own one. Maybe when the G8 comes out, I'll have a helluva dilemma. New G8 GT, or used 05-06 GTO...providing some GTO owners will trade in for a G8.

Four doors are for old people? Do you mean over 20? :P Better rigidity with lighter weight, yeah that's stupid.

well technically the G8 is heavier then GTO.

VE > VY as far as total package...

I am still gonna keep my GTO though

Formula owner here... I need a better daily driver than my truck though, and the G8 GT is going to be it.

I have a GTO....
and my winter beater is a Grand Am:bunny:

Both. 2004 GTO and 2001 Grand Prix GTP. I see a G8 in my future.

http://home.comcast.net/~04goat/DSC01022.JPG

Second Grand Prix after a Bonneville SSEi and a 6000STE. Gotta have 4 doors for the wife to haul her friends around. That's where the GTO will always come up short.:D (unless they build a 4 door GTO and call it G8):yumyum:

I don't own a GTP now, but have owned a 98, and later an 01.

I have a 99 Buick Regal GS and a 2004 Pontiac GTO.

I do feel that I myself am a Buick man at heart. I have owned a turbo regal in the past. Gotta love the torque of the L67. The G8 however is much more connected with the GTO than a Grand Prix and I feel that many GP people will come to the G8 as they did with the GTO.

The Pontiac 6000 is one of those cars that has always intrigued me. Was it an AWD? What size engine did it have? I'm guessing the ****ty 2.8L V6.

GTO here, previously 98 GP GTP.

Since the GP owners are a minority (or less prone to answering polls) do all you GTO owners plan on giving up your 400hp for 4 doors or are you adding to the fleet? Keep in mind that on paper a stock G8 GT will only see taillights of a stock 2006 GTO LS1. (hp and weight) Me, I'm excited because the G8 is GM's answer to Nissan, Toyota and Chryco, and slams the gate in Ford's face. But I'm replacing a sedan with a sedan. I bought a second GP after testing a Jag X-type and realizing there was nothing there other than Connoly hides and Burl walnut, things I could do without.

Like a lot of GTO owners I had a GTP DD back in the day. I still miss the HUD.

Only planning to give up that 40hp for a small amount of time. The 4-doors will actually serve a purpose. So, to answer your question, I'd be replacing.

2001 GTP here!

thats one major reason for me leaning towards the g8 over the new camaro. all my friends bitch about the back seat of my car. seriously i dont think its that bad

Mine only had 350HP stock ;) Plus it's a 3 year lease with a 19,500 buyout(way below market value) so since there is no new GTO's it's a used GTO or a new G8 in the works...

Dude are you smoking crack. 400 hp is never less than 362 hp. And four doors are for old people.


And for people with families.....

GTO here, 2005 A4 TR w/ 18's.

04 GTO here

Son has the Grand Prix

G8 is to be wifes car

I actually was considering getting a GTO about a year ago. When I heard rumours of the Commodore coming here I decided to wait a bit.

And for people with families.....

Grandkids included, as up to a certain age the child seat has to be in the back and it is a pain to get them in or out of a 2 door.

GTO owner. Seriously considering the G8 but not until a have gto for a while, keeping a new car for less then 5 years or so just seems mmm wasteful. As for the less power thing, the torque rating i saw was within 5 or 10 ftlbs, and we all know thats what really matters. (Besides my previous car was lumina with a 4 cylinder in it).

I have an 05 GTO + an 01 Grand Am. My GA is comparable in speed to a GTP so I think that counts as owning one of each. I still choose the handing of my GA on H&Rs over the GTO. Everything else? Well thats a different story.

I've got both. I drive the Goat, the wife drives the GP. Love them both, but I'd never trade cars with her :D

Hey..at one time I had both...04 GTP, 04 GTO..

GTO is retired..my lease was up...needed the space in the GP.

By the time the G8 is out..my GTP will be paid for...so I'll just keep both.

My GA is comparable in speed to a GTP
You turbo'd or something?

Had a 98 Regal GS and that car was fun, for a FWD'er. Currently have a 2005Garage Queen GTO and 2006 G35X. Just bought a 2007 Silverado Classic for winter driving. Will be interested to see what a G8 GXP looks like, but unless it has AWD options, will probably buy the wife another Infiniti G. The GTO stays with me for a long, long time.....!

Have both. Love both...but, got to admit I prefer the torque steer behind me. :gears:

2006 GTO 6MT, brazen orange metallic

GTO will be more of a collector's interest than G8. G8 is boss car, though; i'd have one.

In 15 years, there will be precious few low-mileage GTOs in showroom condition that haven't been beat on. You better believe the value for this very small group among collector's will be high.

I hope so. I will definitely have my GTO then, but it will probably too high of a low mileage car. I put 2,500 on that first summer and only a couple of hundred miles in the 2 summers since. 15 years from now I'll probably be at 4,000 miles, but it will definitely be showroom condition.

From a Goat

I had a 2004 Grand Prix GTP Comp G. Turned it in when the lease was up.

Now my drive choices are a 06 GMC Envoy XL or a 96 Buick Century, so needless to say I can't wait for my G8!

I'm driving a 06 G6 GTP until the lease is up early next year. Hopefully I'll be able to step right into the G8...

damn, i guess im the odd man out, 04 VW Jetta GLI. It was a good beginners car, If I had been given RWD at 16 I probably would have killed myself. Now that I got the "Drive fast all the time" out of my system I can't wait to trade up to the G8 GT.

gto all the way :)

On the contrary, now you'll get a RWD and drive your self into trouble (assuming you disable the stability control). FWD is easier to recover, just hard to drive faster.

I had both until my GTP bit the dust a month or so ago. I replaced it with a Bonneville GXP though. It lacks the “burst” acceleration my GTP had but makes up for it with infinitely more room and refinement and MUCH better ride quality.

True dat!

So many have grown up knowing nothing but fwd. For those of us that grew up on rwd the new models with traction control can be just as frustrating as the difficulty of shifting from D to R without hitting the brake (for rocking to get unstuck) But I spent this last winter in a rwd with TCS and LSD and found very little trouble getting around - there were times I hit the off button just to get out of the driveway but once on the snowpacked roads I was fine.
