A 97 GP has a front track of 61.70" and a rear of 61.70" Overall width 72.70"

maybe they should have used it for the bonnevilles...
well, they were full size sedans compared to a coupe so w/e, nvm
even though they got smaller in 2000 but they are wider...
'87-'91 = ???
'92-'99 = 74.5"
'00+ = 74.2"
