I took new pics of my 1990 Turbo Grand Prix, i shaved the badges, looks hella better, but it left black goop on the car, so i buffed that out w/ WD40 and a rag for like a 1/2 hour each and it came out, it looks very smooth and nice, i took some new pics with our new 5.0 Megapixle Camera, enjoy

I saw those pictures already because I have no life, but I'm really shocked that you have a little computer screen for your compass. That's fricken cool.
Your seats...are drool-worthy. I'm not crazy on tan, but you take what you can get, of course.

Cool! Nice car. :thumbup: I always liked that style of Grand Prix. The rear bucket seats look good, and they look comfortable. :)

oh the seats are comfortable, 8 way Duel Power seats, the rear seat are probably the most comfortable back seats ever, they have there own cup holders and center consol, and an acces hatch to the trunk, i love this car, its got so much for so cheap

The Turbo Grand Prix was around for a very short time. I want to say only 1 or 2 years, but I'm not 100% certain. So it's probably difficult to find them. Prospeeder, do you happen to know any specs on the engine? Like hp, torque, etc?

205HP 225TQ 0-60 in 7 seconds, 1/4 mile 15 flat, its a 3.1L MPFI V6 w/ a Garrett T25 Turbo, the 3.1 is modified with a lower compression after having many diffent modifications internally to the motor. There was a Prototype in 1988 In the PikesPeak race, it did well, it had 305HP and 225TQ and did the 1/4 mile in the 13's. In 1989, they made the first TGP, in 1990 it had slight changes to the motor and exterior, but not much. Yes it would fit perfectly into a beretta, iv seen it on the internet. Thse cars have ALOT of potentail, just a perfromance chip, 160 thermostat, and a cone filer u are from 15 to 14 in the 1/4 mile, and Jeff M is coming out with all new stuff for them.
