Just picked up a 2000 GTP

   Well after deciding our Blazer was not going to be worth continuing to dump money into. (Spider Injector something went bad)  We have already spent 2000 in the last 2 years fixing things, and this was the final straw.
We started looking at Craigslist for a different family car, I have always liked the style of the GTP, Lisa found this one and we went to look at it.
3800 Series 2 S/C
4t65e HD Trans with 2.93 ratio
Heated Leather Power Seats
Bose Audio system, 8 speakers, and factory amp with 12 disc CD Changer in trunk
Dual Zone Climate Controls
Driver Info Center in Dash
Keyless Entry
Sunroof
A/C Blows Cold
HUD
Steering Wheel Controls for Stereo
Tons of other little things that make it kinda neat.
Traction Control and Performance Shift Buttons
225/60/16 Z Rated Tires with a 400 Tread wear
OEM Alloy Mags
       We got the car for what I feel is a steal, at $2250  came complete with dealer service records and dealer recall reports showing everything that has been done.    The car is totally 100% stock, zero mods.  Was owned by an older couple most of its life, so it has not been abused.  
                  This should be a great family car that is still sporty enough that when our 2 year old daughter is not in it, and our soon to be born baby, (Yes Fiero Chick is 3 months Pregnant so we will be parents for a 2nd time)  I'll be able to take the car out and have some fun.   I did a quick baseline with it today and using my OBDII Scanner over blue tooth and software (Android Torque) came up with 14.9 at 92mph in the quarter with a 6.7 second Zero to 60.  I'll post a screen shot below.
      I have already started looking at minor bolt on mods to drop it down to a low 14.  I don't want to go too crazy as we need it family use, I am really happy with it so far.
Here are the pics.
      If anyone has suggestions on places to find good deals on parts, I am open to offers.  To be honest this is the first Front Drive car we have ever owned and the first 3800S/C I have ever owned.     I still prefer my 4.9 5spd Fiero for spirited driving, due to the torque off the line, but I can honestly say I do see the advantages of this setup.
