I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. My name is Joe and I have dreamed of owning a supercharged 3800 since the first time I saw a Bonneville SSEI and through highschool I saved up money for a GTP that sold before I could get my hands on it and ended up driving a Lumina Euro 3.4. After my GTA was totaled I had a hard time tooling around in a four banger cutlass and when I stumbled upon the GTX I had to have it.

The Grand Prix isnt my ultimate dream car but it is a great short term goal. Other cars I would love to own some day are Audi S4 Biturbo, LS1 Trans Am or Firehawk, GTO Judge, Buick GN, and ultimately a 70 GSX. I guess most of those cars are still reasonable considering some peoples dream cars are McLaren F1 and Lamborgini...

It is an original GTX. I have the warranty supplement and there is a tag on the radiator support as well but it doesnt have a production number or anything. The car was originally sold from a dealership in Rochester but I cant recall which one. As far as mods... I have a B&M trans cooler, Intense pcm (I read the forum on how intense sucks) 180* T-stat, Ported blower outlet, 3.25"pulley, and pillar pod with boost and oil pressure digital gauges. the car came from the factory with the slp powerflo exaust and CAI with K&N filter and ram air hood

Joe, you should be scanning and keeping an eye on KR with a 3.25" pulley (with stock exhaust manifolds and stock valvetrain).
