I have a 2000 GTP with a rebuilt 3.8 SC, it has higher compression then a normal 3.8 making it faster then the stock about 95k on the rebuild, it also has a spectre cold air intake, a aftermarket computer and a blower that's been ported, the car is around 280 HP which is quite a bit more then the stocks and it still has a lot of performance left to be done. I've been told she's pushing 300 HP. It runs with 5.0's and my friends 300 HP Vette, THIS CAR IS FAST. The tranny has also been rebuilt with a shift kit, it has abut 20k on the rebuild. Has a ws6 hood, new halo headlights and new led taillights. The halos need wired in. It has gauge pods that need wired up, they show a variety of colors when there hooked up. The A/C blows VERY cold, just had a full service oil change.The car has a lot of new parts: front wheel bearings, rotors, brakes all the way around, tires all the way around, tie rod ends, camber, rack n pinion, power steering lines & pump, transmission pan gasket, front end alignment, the motor mounts and rear struts were replaced when the engine was rebuilt. I have all the paint for the car and there's a lot left, blue leds and gtp emblems that will go with the car. The rims are just factory ones but painted black. The body is pretty close to perfect just a couple little things, one of the pics show a spot on the passenger side door but you have to get up really close to see it. A piece of the trim is a little off on the passenger side because of a broken clip, and then on the back bottom piece where it says Pontiac in black there's little scratches but otherwise the car looks great! When it was painted 5 coats of paint were put on then 3 coats of clear coat. The door jams do need finished but like I said I have all the paint left over. The color is metallic sonic blue. The inside could use a little cleaning up but nothing major. The carpet needs shampooed or replaced due to previous owners leaving stains primarily on the back floorboard. The leather is in good shape no tears but a little wear on the front two seats there custom with Grand Prix stitched in them, the backseats look great. The headliner is newer but it sags a tiny bit on one side it just needs adjusted, and only one of the door panels matches it and its in the back the other 3 are the original cloth panels and the front two have a couple small cigarette burns in them due to previous owners. It does have working power locks and windows but there is no remote for the car just 2 keys. The blue dash could have been painted better but it looks good, the window tint is old and the car needs a rearview mirror. Under the hood around the edges is blue but the motor was never pulled out to paint the inside of the engine so its still maroon. Other then that this car is AWESOME, I have over $8000 in it and am selling because I have 2 vehicles and need to get rid of one.

This KITT replica sold at auction for $32,500

Thu, Apr 23 2020

UPDATE: This 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am KITT replica officially sold for $32,500. Here's hoping the new owner has a blast throwin' it into Pursuit Mode. Let's get one thing straight right off the bat: This isn't a perfect KITT replica. The original KITT used in the Knight Rider TV series was based on a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. The one you see above, which is currently for sale at auction site Bring A Trailer, is a 1987 model, and since it's a GTA edition, it has some extra body cladding that the smooth-sided television car lacked. That aside, most casual observers would probably never notice the difference, and even those who did (like us) are still likely to be impressed by the car's transformation. This KITT replica is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. It ought to be fairly quick, though quite a bit shy of the fictional car's very fictional 300-mph top speed. We're not exactly Knight Rider experts, but some quick Google sleuthing suggests that the Knight Industries Two Thousand supposedly cost more than $11,000,000 to build in Hollywoodland. This one will surely command a significantly lower sum — as of this writing, it's been bid up to $18,000 with four days remaining on the auction. This content is hosted by a third party.

There are several videos of the car that detail its modifications inside and out, but suffice it to say it seems to be a well-sorted replica. Here's hoping its new owner keeps it well clear of other KARRs. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

Tue, Jun 19 2018

For General Motors, the W platform just kept giving and giving and giving for decade after decade, serving as the basis of Buick Regals, Oldsmobile Intrigues, Chevrolet Monte Carlos, and many, many more models. The final and most powerful Pontiac W-Body, the sixth-generation Grand Prix GTP, rolled off assembly lines for the 1997 through 2003 model years. Here's one in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. GM bolted the supercharged 3800 V6 into vast numbers of cars during this era, providing a deep reservoir of cheap blowers for unwise high-boost projects. 240 front-tire-charring horses, complete with a Roots-type blower scream from the Eaton supercharger under the hood. I see plenty of blown 3800s during my junkyard travels, from the Bonneville SSEi to the Oldsmobile LSS. Depressingly, GM stopped putting manual transmissions in the Grand Prix during the 1993 model year, so '01 GTP owners had to take the four-speed slushbox. This one came close to the magic 200,000-mile mark, but fell 25,000 short. The interior took a beating during its life, ending its time on the road with shredded upholstery and dirty panels. Seven-band graphic equalizers were all the rage during the 1980s, but GM kept the tradition alive into our current century. This content is hosted by a third party.
