> [@97Ranger](#): > > riiight… i dont need a manual tranny to have fun you don’t, but when it comes to these cars 75% of the fun is ruined with an auto, they suck the power out of the car, you can’t hold it in the upper rpms, you cant shift on the fly… gts’s only come in 6spd… go learn how to drive one, you will thank yourself later ---

I own an 02 GTP and love it. Yeah its big but it has 240hp/280trq and with some fairly inexpensive mods you can easily get those numbers up to where you can have a nice sleeper on your hands. I’ve got a catback, MSP CAI, 3.4 pulley, DHP PCM 1.0 and some other minro stuff and now my car can move. Plus it has heated seats and HUD which is always cool. PS: I’ve had no Tranny problems ---

I’d take the GTP in a second over either of the first 2 cars you listed. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-car-question/22488.md?page=1)
