“ Grand Prix's 1991 program reprised LE, SE, and STE sedans, however not the turbocharged
STE. While some mourned dropping the turbocharged V-6, Pontiac
consoled them with GM's new normally aspirated Twin Dual Cam V-6, a 24-valve 3.4-liter rated at 210
bhp with 5-pace handbook or a fair 200 with that yr's new
four-velocity automated possibility. Four-pace computerized remained the only transmission till 2000, after which four-cylinder fashions received a standard five-speed handbook equipped by German gearbox
specialist Getrag. The 5-speed handbook transmission was discarded, however the
options checklist nonetheless had enough of the proper stuff to approximate the sportiness of the
discontinued GT and STE. Topping the record had been a zippy 0-60-mph time of
6.Eight seconds, high-quality skidpad grip (0.79g), protected and predictable
entrance-drive strikes, a roomy and snug cabin with typically
sound ergonomics, and lots of options for less than about $25,000
delivered. Grand Am styling was now much like Grand Prix's, however on a smaller
scale and with a lot of geegaws larded on. Like Buick's
newest Regal on the same updated W-body platform, the GP was little longer than before despite a three-inch-longer wheelbase.
Wheelbase lengthened 3.6 inches to 107, rangy for a compact.
Wheelbase was untouched, however length grew by more
than half a foot. ”
