Cam'ron Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 if they are a GTP i think so but it could be badges... somebody on here knows how to tell for sure, options etc... i think they switched to the supercharged engine around there as well... but i dont know for sure.

Psych0matt Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 only the 89 and 90 TGP (Turbo Grand Prix) had a turbocharged engine, and it was a 3.1. GTP's from 91-96 have the DOHC, and the 97+ models have a supercharged 3.8. that help at all?
