WTT 97 Modded Grand Prix GTP

Re: WTT 97 Modded Grand Prix GTP

how much $$ do you want for the car? Also with a new radator, tensioner and and sending unit will the car be good to go? Or was the engine damaged when it overheated?


Would the drag radials fit on some stock camaro wheels? I'm looking for DRs for my camaro.

I've got a 1999 Bravada smart track with about 130k on it. Mad reliable. I use it for the bad weather. I'd trade that.

What color is the GTP

The car is running fine as a daily driver, but due to the overheat I "believe" it needs a head gasket so I would not race it without getting it checked out. If I have time I'm going to do a compression test and possibly see about a leakdown test to determine exactly what the problem is with burning oil.

The Drag radials are already mounted on camaro salad shooters and have about 50ish passes on them, but still have lots of tread.

Can you send me full details and pics of the bravada, and where are you located?

The salad shooters fit on the GP?

Interested in selling separately?

No the salad shooters are off a camaro and have different backspacing.

If someone wishes to purchase/trade for the GTP without them I would be willing to separate. I also have that full set of gold crosslace rims that technically can go separate as well that they could mount on as track tires.

You OBVIOUSLY have nothing constructive to add to this post so just stay out of it.

Re: WTT 97 Modded Grand Prix GTP

man you guys are harsh. A 3.2 pulley is fine on the GTP, even though the reccomended for your setup would be running a 3.4. Witht he proper tuning, a 3.2 pulley is a very feasible pulley range. I'm not sure people understand this, but I do not believe this was dd(maybe I'm missing something). Also, with the engine burning oil, I would say it's either the head gasket (most viable option) or in some cases, especially on fieros with the l67 in them have problems with worn piston rings, scored cylinder walls, worn valve guides, dried out valve seals, blocked oil returns, and a couple of other items. Luckily, a leakdown test is fairly simple to perform and will relieve all of your questions with the oil consumption. Also, the parts are fairly cheap, even for the GTP, seeing as there are so many cars out with the same setup (a lot of buicks, such as the regal and other cars also maybe?). I know some of my info. could be wrong, but with what I know (which is very little), this car is worth looking into. Oh, and scratch the dd thing. I now see it was his dd. I do have one question though, did it start burning oil when it overheated, or has it been an ongoing thing? Also, please correct me on anything that is wrong. Thank you

Oil issue started recently after the overheat. I've been driving my truck a lot more since then.

Results from tests....Compression still good in all 6 cylinders, but there is a small amount of coolant in #2 cylinder which is 100% head gasket issue and would explain the oil burning and small amount of smoke.

Re: WTT 97 Modded Grand Prix GTP

Thanks, was most of my info very accurate? I wasn't sure with the engine being in the gtp, beecause of the front engien instead of rear enigne in fieros. I'd love to trade you, too bad you wouldn't want an 86 iroc (besides the fact that your car is worth 3 times the amount of my car).
