PONTIAC GRAND PRIX AUTOCROSS FEATURES V-8
ENGINE, PERFORMANCE ACCESSORIES
For 2004, the new Grand Prix production car elevated the concept
of style, performance and excitement to create a segment-leading
midsize sedan. At the 2003 Specialty Equipment Market Association
(SEMA) show in Las Vegas, Pontiac kicks the Grand Prix’s
performance capabilities up a notch with a 350-horsepower V-8
engine. The Grand Prix is one of a number of performance-tuned,
specially equipped show vehicles suitable for Autocross racing
applications.
The Grand Prix Autocross show car features GM’s 5.3-liter
V-8 engine with cat-back exhaust, bigger stabilizer bars, performance-tuned
shocks and springs and lowered wheel-to-body ride height.
A number of enhancements give the Grand Prix Autocross a more
performance-oriented, substantial appearance, including a custom-made
carbon fiber hood with air inlets, front fascia with carbon fiber
inset and rear fascia carbon fiber extensions and rocker panel,
new grille, projector beam headlamps with carbon fiber housing,
a GM Performance Parts-modified spoiler with carbon fiber extension
and dual aluminum exhaust outlets.
Stainless Steel Brake Corp. custom rotors and calipers, custom
18-inch wheels and BF Goodrich g-force T/A KD tires complete the
performance package. Inside, performance touches include custom
aluminum pedals, sporty, sleek seats trimmed with Naugahyde material
and Delphi custom gauge cluster package with redesigned graphics.
The Grand Prix Autocross features a hydrographic trim kit in
carbon fiber. This appearance kit, to be offered as a Pontiac
accessory, enables owners to custom trim their vehicles in potentially
hundreds of patterns or colors.
Optically enhanced exterior paint in Dark Cherry coats the Grand
Prix Autocross. This paint is developed by Color Design Studio
of America and produced by Sherwin Williams.
