my gfs 99 GTP
ok, so today i drove my gf's 99 GTP. she has 2 mtx 10s and an amp i bought for her back in highschool. i didn't really like it.
in fact, the only thing i liked was the subs. but its cool, power everything, and even a HUD in the car. here are my problems with it.
the throttle is mushy, even with the supercharger. the brakes are mushy, and no they don't need replacement, im just comparing to the civic. the suspension is mushy. everything is just mushier compared to the vic. i mean i even felt slow in the car. and it has 2x the hp as my ride. anyone else ever compare vehicles to their civic? like my throttle response is way tighter than that car. i don't understand. but still its a nice ride.
id rate it a 8 out of 10.

My 02 Alero, which ended up being a total POS and fell apart...but before that,
170hp, 200 torque... had the 'performance suspension' and it wasnt too too bad, the throttle was fairly crisp for a domestic, and the suspension was so-so. But the breaks, new or not, were the biggest let down...it even had the 4 disks

Rep Power: 279 i have seen a few at the track with boost upgade kit that were running low 13's. in fact there was a hole club there one day at carlsbad. there were a few in the 13's but most were running low 14's. now i never got to drive one but a low 13 for that car is pretty quick.
