2003 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 3.8 SFI from North America
Summary:
Best of the body style, and one nice car!
Faults:
The original Bose head unit stopped playing CDs about 15000 miles ago, but luckily I still had the extended warranty. Took it to the dealer, they diagnosed the problem and ordered a new unit from Delco. When it came in they replaced it free of charge like I hoped.
Recently the passenger rear window has stopped working. Dread trouble-shooting that! Sun-roof sometimes has issues opening and closing, but overall it still works. That's it so far.
It is in need of new wheel hubs soon, based on noise I hear, and slop in the front wheel bearings. Figure that will be a good time for a front end rebuild (new hubs, rotors, pads, outer tie rod ends and anything else that is looking frayed).
General Comments:
The car performs great and handles equally well.
I've been running Mobile 1 10W-30 and a K&N air and oil filter since day one. It was rated for 200hp, but feels like a lot more.
Love this car!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Keep up with a Viper? By that you mean you could still see him in the distance a mile ahead of you on a crystal clear day? Your car is fast but that's a little over the top. Viper 0-60 in 4 seconds. Your car 6.5-7 puts the Viper multiple car lengths ahead of you.
