We purchased our Bright Red 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP new from Northland Pontiac - Calgary
(it was originally suppose to be "her" daily driver)
I always referred to this as our "4 door Trans Am", as I always wanted a Trans Am.
(settled for a 1984 Camaro Z28 instead - buts that will be a separate thread)
We went to the August 1999 NASCAR Race in Michigan and I went crazy over the Pace Cars.
(these are in the Blue Grand Prix Photo)
Spent a lot of time before the Race discovering Street Legal Performance (SLP) with their GM Ram Air Packages on the Trans Am that was being newly introduced as a GM Authorized after-market package for the Grand Prix.
Upon returning from the Race to Calgary, I began the work of "marrying" Davenport (Calgary) with SLP to modify ours for
Western Canada's First Grand Prix Ram Air Supercharged GTX
debut on Calgary's Streets in the Spring of 2000 (May) - lots of fun & lots of head-turns
- Fully endorsed by GM with no loss of our Warranty - Sweet ! -
We absolutely loved this car - becoming a Summer Driver Only.
SLP changes included Functional Ram Air Hood - Cat-back System - Super Charger Pulley & Air Intake
These exhaust tips were bad-a$$ compared to the Stock exhaust tips
and the sound was very very very throaty
We sold this awesome vehicle in the Spring of 2015 and have missed it ever since.
This Grand Prix was purchased as a daily driver and became something very special.
There were copycat after market packages later on - but this is the SLP Original !
It is in remembrance of this car that we purchased our second Corvette this year for "her".
(photos are on the same driveway and with changes to our home and a young tree that you notice in difference to our Corvette photos that we are now posting)
(quick reference - includes this Spring's MikeysZ06 MOTM winner)
- also same License Plate as both of our New Corvettes had before Personalizing -
1999 GTX Pace Car

(Dale Earnhardt started near the back - darn it!)
(oh! Pontiac won this race too - Labonte)

(Dale Earnhardt finished 5th )
