sumbitch, your right!!!!!!!

1989-1990 only!!!!!!!

"The Grand Prix coupe came in LE, SE, and Turbo trim. A 160-horsepower 2.3-liter 4-cylinder was the standard engine on the LE, while a 140-horsepower 3.1-liter V6 powered the SE and STE models. The V6 could also be ordered for the LE. A turbocharged version of the V6 was standard on the Turbo Grand Prix Coupe, and was an optional engine for the STE sedan. Antilock brakes were standard on the Turbo Coupe, optional on all other models."

1991 the 3.4L DOHC was used, 210 hp vs. 205 hp for the 1990 turbo.

I stand corrected!!!!!!!!!

Indeed the GP's did come with turbos those years, but they're still pretty weak. I drove one once, and you hear turbo noise, but feel very little turbo power...

Compared to a Honda, yeah, but I think they're only around 3500lbs. Leave it to GM to build a weak turbo motor...
