Darryn’s Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

Hey, my name's Darryn. I'm twenty one years old, and I'm from a small suburban town outside of Vancouver, BC, where I live with my mom, sister and dog. This town often seems riddled with rich kids ripping around in parent-funded beemers and such, which is why I am proud to be one who works for his toys. This particular toy is my newest and favorite; a 1996 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. I have wanted this exact car (down to the colour) for a long time, and I can attribute this to my other ride; my 1994 Grand Prix SE. I bought the SE out of necessity, as I needed cheap, reliable transportation to work. It was exactly this and more. The SE, with just the 3100 V6, proved to be great in the snow, suprisingly quick, and super fun to drive. It was driving this car that began my love affair with the Pontiac brand, and quickly I became very interested in the '96 GTP. More power, pinache, and a perfect body to boot. I managed to track one down in Cloverdale, and fell in love as soon as our eyes met.

 

 

Let me tell you about her. White exterior with black leather interior, sunroof, cd player, power everything, and a heads up display. Under the hood sits the 3.4 liter twin-dual overhead cam V6 boasting a stock horsepower of 215 (this is about 70 more than my SE). These cars are becoming really hard to find, and I feel so fortunate to have one in my possession.
