Bonneville VS Grand Prix
#21
I traded in a 99 GT 4-dr Grand Prix for the 01 SSEi. IMHO, there is no comparison between the 2 cars - the Bonneville is heads up (no pun intended) over the unsupercharged Grand Prix in acceleration, performance, quietness, smoothness on the road, handling and comfort.

If you are looking for a GTP...try to get a 99 or 00. They seem to be the best years of the 97-03 body style. Starting in 01 GM started getting cheap. They took out the automatic dual climate control and performance shift button on the shifter. The '03 seem to have different interior pieces and different PCMs.
I will say that I do believe the build quality on the Bonnevilles is better than the GP'* and it obviously is a bigger, quieter, more comfortable car. Personally I wouldn't mind having either one, I like the Bonnies because they are comfortable and have all kinds of cool little toys, but the GP'* are much lighter which equals much quicker.

I agree a GT GP and a Bonn SSEi are not the most fair to compare, 40hp difference and 55lbft. of tq dif man? I think I would rather have the SSEi too! But uhh the new 06 GP GT are nice the first GT to get a standard blower wahooooo! ((Can someone buy one with the Special Edition Sport Package and Midnight sliver wheels so I can have some photos of it?)) PLEASE... Just keep in mind you went from a plain jane run of the mill L36 *great motor decent performance* to a kick some butt torque monster L67! Nite all!
