Receiving its name from F1 racing, the Grand Prix is a popular 4-door sedan/sports car made by Pontiac (GM).
Initially manufactured in 1966, the Grand Prix has been one of the most popular cars driven ever since.
The greatest spectacle in college racing! Takes place at THE Purdue University, and never disappoints.
Teams create their own go-carts for a chance to win the trophy on race day.
The rest of campus uses this as an excuse to get drunk every day of the week.
George: "Wanna go to the city this weekend... with hoe's?"
Josh: "Bro, from Thursday to Saturday, I am busy chasing after the Grand Prix?"
George: "Bro, what? There's gonna be hoe's in the city tho, bro!"
Josh: "Nah man, I am three down man, one more hoe to go."
The GTP is Pontiac Grand Prix with some performance extras: a supercharger, upgraded suspension and brakes, etc. A "sleeper" - a car that looks slow, but is not. Don't get me wrong - it is not a real sports car, but more of a sports sedan. You get V8 power, and V6 fuel economy. Also, this car has a good deal of modding potential.
1997 - 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP - Stock 3.8L V6: 240 horsepower, 280 ft.lbs of torque. 0 - 60: about 6.6 seconds - not too bad. Fuel economy: around 18 city, 28 highway - not too bad either. 1/4 mile: around 15 seconds - again, not bad.
