I like it 99GTP, my moms is dark green with the twisted spokes.

I drove it a few times, and it is imressive for a FWD 6.

My buddy has a green 4door GTP and I'm very used to him and his family pulling up in our drivway and piling out, perhaps that is the reasoning for my subliminal perception of the model. I will tell you that the 2door does make it look a lot more "serious". I like it, dude.... Drive it with pride.......

Cheers

Well, I'm not talking about coming across some moms and dads, lol. </P>


Does this look like a family car? It's my car.<IMG src=smileys/smiley14.gif border="0"></P>

In all seriouness, I see plenty of older moms and dads (mostly dads) driving around in GTP 2 doors. They are just bigger cars, which lends itself to be more apealing to the older crowd. More of a baby boomer car if you will. In comparison to a Mustang, the GTP takes the 40+ class by storm, but I dont want to discredit your ride, it looks nice, and high 13s if that is what it runs is pretty good for a big FWD.</P>

Actually I see many 40+ people in Mustang GT's too. They are both basically the same size and weight. I really don't see what you are saying about "bigger cars". </P>


"and high 13s if that is what it runs is pretty good for a big FWD."</P>


I know, I can't slide around corners, but otherwise, why does this matter? Not trying to sound argumentative, I'm just wondering what you're saying here.</P>

Junky huh?, I can't say that's accurate, especially from personal experience. The 3800 is considered a very reliable, very strong engine. </P>
