**SOLD**.
This car was sold Feb 2007 to Jim Mitasi (AKA "The Pope")--owner of Dallas AutoRoma's best in class GTP Pace Car (enjoy it Jim!). Here is a link to Jim's Pace Car page:
Jim's Best in Show GTP Pace Car

Stock HP: 240hp/280tq.

Air to Water Intercooler (Front Mount Heat Exchanger):

mozartsGhost's 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix

On the dragstrip, the car ran a best of 8.84@78.9 in the 1/8th mile, and 13.82@97.7 w/ 2.0 60' in the 1/4 mile, however I could never quite get the car tuned right--and it could have run, with
these mods, low 13's (with slicks). With a better intercooler (or an XP/VS cam) and a smaller pulley, this would easily have been a 12 second car.

Car has an in-car iPod system (iPod Nano) through factory stereo. Also has Lloyd's matts. Black headlights/corners. I also have a leather steering wheel cover (pfyc.com one, stiched on) that matches my two-tone leather (perforated grey/black). Additional mods included PowerTuner (for custom tuning), AFC 2.0 (on the fly dip-switch tuning @ the track). At the time I sold it, I had a generic DHP 1.5 tune on the car, and prior to that a Webracin tune that I was tweaking on.

One of the cool features this car has is the in-dash Head Up Display. This feature projects a digital speedometer (as well as Stereo CD/AM/FM track/station information onto your windshield, at a perceived distance of 6 feet from the driver). If you look closely below you can see it on the windshield:

Katzkins Interior (before Lloyd's Matts):

Custom Dash-Mounted Grand Prix Supercharged logo:
- People either hate this or love this. I am mixed about it myself. If I still had the car, I'd remove the GRAND PRIX badge and just keep the "Supercharged" emblem on the dash:

Info about exhaust-system:
My entire exhaust, from headers to tips, was purchased from Dave Stuntz' multi-award-winning GTP Show-Car/Race-Car, after his car blew up on him @ ACS a couple years back. Here's a link to Dave's GTP page:
Dave's GTP

Headers are made by TOGs (The Other Guys), and are no longer made. Exhaust is a custom full 3" Exhaust to the Y, 2.5" at the split to 2.25" / TOGs headers / 3" hiflo cat [a hotswappable system--can be swapped out with my test-pipe with just 6 bolts], 3" electric QTEC, Summit Turbo Mufflers, whistle tips woo woo! [just kidding the tips are Magnaflow Dual-Dual chrome T/A tips]).

GTX Wheels:

Infamous Pontiac Red LED Lighting (stock):

Sadly, I sold this car, after 3 years of ownership, to a fellow GTP owner (see the top of this page for pics of his rides), and replaced it with something a little more practical--a 2001 Chevy Corvette Targa (;-p).

Pics of the Corvette can be found here: click here
