94 Grand Prix Special Edition???

[TheProfessor]

has anyone heard of a 94 grand prix special edition
my buddy was telling me about it
supposedly there were only a few thousand made and they had 240 hp
i was gonna call bullshit on him but hes a good friend of mine
so i thought i would run it by everyone here first

[robby1870]

BS There were "special editions" but they didnt have anymore than a 3100 and cloth interior

i saw one in a parking lot one day while i was waitng to get pizza i looked out and was like nice gp then i saw the special edition badge on the door

[Lyle's GTP]

Yep, bullshit. They were basically an SE with the GTP body mouldings. But it was only a 3100, 155HP I do believe.

They weren't GTP specific moldings, and it's 160hp.

[Guest]

'94 to '95 and some later 3100s were rated at 155 HP.

[Rhedalert]

yeah the N-bodies, A bodies, and probably the L-bodies. Not w's.

[SappySE107]

They could get either motor actually. Its just a badge, means nothing. You will get guys saying their special edition is a GTP cause it says GTP package on their window sticker. Either way, not 240 hp.

[TheProfessor]

yeah i was pretty sure there wasnt a 240 hp motor put in anything cept for the nwere gtps

There was a 1996 GP GTP Special Edition for sale around here, every option in the book, and bright red. It also had the 3.4L. It looked sweet, but they wanted like 10 grand for it

im with Ben on this one. my '96 is a Special Edition GTP. it is a GTP, but the Special Edition gives you "Special Edition" on the doors and below the trunk lid. plus a pinstripe along both sides of the car. whatever color your interior was, the vinyl on the outside reflected that. the "special edition" crap overrides any other stock badging whether it be "Grand Prix SE" or the "GTP" plaque.

by the way...'96...3.4 DOHC: 215 HP/225 TQ

I'm pretty sure in 96-97 it was still 215tq, or was it 225 ft lbs?

[highoctane]

ya even with the 3.4 DOC I do believe the most it would be was 215 HP, I dont remember it being anymore than that, and I dont think too many special editions even got the 3.4, come to think of it, there really isnt anything "special" about the special editions... so ya Id call BS too...

[Anonymous]

They did get the pinstripe and the "special edition" writing, but I wouldn't call them anything special.

you know...i read places its 215...but then i read my '96 Grand Prix brochure and it says 225. other GM resources say 225 also for '96-97.
