It is the G8. The prototype GP from 2000-2001. Here is the info on it:

and for those of you who noticed... there are different hood scoops n this one vs the pic in the post above. There were 2 or 3 variations of the G8 the were released in various press releases over that time period.
The G6 is the 2003 prototype from Pontiac. Here is the info on that one:

The GTX has stripes and is as fast, if not faster, than the Comp G,(assuming the GTX is supercharged) because it has a ram air hood and SLP exhaust. Besides the fact that I think the 97-03'* look much better than the '04'*. I have been trying to get used to the '04'* and like them, but I can't.
A GTX is a kit that can be purchased. You buy a Grand Prix, either a GT or GTP, and then send it to SLP (and give them $4000) and they put on the hood, spoiler, exhaust, etc.... So just because it is a GTX does not mean it is Supercharged.

It is the G8.
Plus the REAL GTX has Ram Air in it besides a supercharger!

Well, here is a link that may help to clear most of this up....

Doesn't have them all, but most. If the GP board doesn't know then we'll never figure it out....LOL

The '04'* are ugly, and they look cheap IMO. As much as I try to like them, because I really WANT to like the '04'*, everytime I try to like them, I find something else I don't like about them. And the exhaust tips are UGLY!!!
It'* like I said, you don't have to have a GTP to get a GTX, but you shouldn't listen to me, what could I know, I only have 2 Grand Prixs.
Actually it is the '97-2003'*. '96 was still the '88 body style, but I do like the looks of the '88-'96'* more than the '97-'03. Our TGP looks WAY more mean than our GTP, but of course our GTP is WAY more mean than the TGP, so it makes up for it.

I haven't swooned over a GP since '95, I accepted the '96-current,
