I had a GP with the 24 valve engine. ?225HP?
K&N helped with high RPM torque. You cannot judge these vehicles with green engines. It takes 10-20K for them to really perform right, same for Saabs.
It was a nice engine, but they dropped the manual GB. The autobox never was in the right gear. You did not get 1st gear unless you hammered the throttle, then it rev'd and went nuts. The suspension felt clumbsy. I had a one month driving trip in Europe with a Citroen with active suspension and a small engine. Never liked the GP again after that. Got a 95SET the next spring. The 95SET 5spd was faster in stock trim than the GP and felt and handled much better.
I am sure that the GTP is much improved since the early 90's. And the supercharging will be impressive. You can probably hack that!
