Mine is nice but not that nice.. It is a red 2000... I love the car.. My previous rides were a 86 camaro and 97 camaro. The 97 withthe LT-1 was real nice... The GP is just more useable...

You can make any car a show car if you have time, patience, knowledge and money.

I own a 98' GTP and despite only being 20 and a full-time student, I still plan to enter it in shows. I give it a lot of TLC and mod it too.

A stock GP is not a show car. However, those that have been modded with wheels, tires, paint, body add-on (scoops, hoods, etc.) can be considered show cars.

My GT is very stock looking. You can see a bunch of cars that look like it in your local parking lot. Mine is just smore shiny...

Like stated by 98GTPDiva. Any car can be a show car if you take the time and put in the effort. I show my bimmer once a year at my BMW car club once a year in Long Island.

Forgive me using the same words twice in the same sentence. It has been a long day, a long day.

come on... any car which is detailed, straight, clean, etc-, etc, is a show car, an example of it's type, to be exhibited by someone who is proud of thier handywork,love, obsession. I think it is the epitomy of snobbery .... to put a brand, year, or any other facet of a car above the example of the physical condition/recondition, DETAILING of the car is wrong minded. Any car can bea show car!
Why are we here,everybody does not have an 04, or 05 Benz, or whatever... we all want that show car... and we work to make even our daily drivers reflect that...
