Over 20 years after its release, the Pontiac Grad Am GT is looked at fondly by its drivers. but you wouldn’t be alone in wondering about its engine.
The 2000 Pontiac Grand Am is part of the fifth-generation model that debuted in 1999. It rides on GM’s N-body platform shared with the Oldsmobile Cutlass and Chevy Malibu, taking cues from the boxier third-gen Grand Am that spearheaded the transition to a front-engine, front-wheel drive from the rear-drive, A-body cars of the first and second-gen Grand Am.
The fifth-gen Pontiac Grand Am was also the last of the breed after GM ended production in 2005. The 2000 Grand Am was available as a four-door sedan or two-door coupe, came in SE and GT trim grades, and had SE1, SE2, and GT1 option packages.
