In the realm of muscle cars, Pontiacs have been recognized for their speed, power, and style earned by the iconic models like GTO, Trans Am, and Firebird, but this aura has slowly faded away in the 90s and 2000, due to the brand being focused on mass consumer cars. Yet, not all of them were made to serve strictly for daily commute.

Today we’re featuring a performance version of the Pontiac Gran Prix – a 3.6L supercharged V6 called GTP, which has was tastefully modified by it’s owner to highlight it’s sporty attitude. Read on to find out more about this build!

GTP and GXP Performance Versions

Pontiacs continued to be popular throughout the 90s and early 2000s with models like the Grand Prix being well-received by consumers thanks to their sporty appearance and performance oriented GTP and GXP models. While the GXP was fitted with a common LS V8, the GTP was equipped with a trully unique and less conventional 3.8L V6 with Eaton Supercharger capable of 240HP (260HP in Series III engines installed on 2004-2008 models).

Tugboat torque and impressive performance helped it to stand out from the competition. Speaking of which it was a pretty tough crowd to deal with as it included the big names such as Acura TSX, Audi A4 and BMW 3-Series.

Puffed up by the 9.5-psi sirocco from the twin-rotor Eaton supercharger, the big pushrod V-6 slings the Grand Prix to 60 mph in 6.6 seconds, faster by a half-second or more than all the prestige machines mentioned earlier – Car&Driver

GTP Build

This clean red 2007 Gran Prix is owned and modified by Tyler Braaten from British Columbia, Canada. The car’s been upgraded with a few exterior and performance add ons that underlined its performance nature and transformed it from a supercharged sleeper car into a real head turner.

Stance

The fist thing that you notice about the car is the low stance and shiny Niche Invert, 20×9 rims wrapped in skinny Nitto NT555g2 tires.

To eliminate the wheel gap and make the car sit closer to the ground Tyler decided to install a set of BC Racing coilovers, polyurethane bushings and ZZP sway bars which not only made it look good, but also stiffened up the suspension and improved handling.

Engine

The supercharged 3.8L engine wasn’t left untouched and was upgraded with a 2.5” full stack ZZP intercooler, ZZP air intake, exhaust manifolds, 3.2” supercharger pulley, pushing about 13psi peak boost. All in al it helped to gain more power in addition to the stock 260HP and 289ft.lb of torque.
