A 96 GP has a front track of 59.60" and a rear of 58.20" Overall width 71.90"
A 97 GP has a front track of 61.70" and a rear of 61.70" Overall width 72.70"
Its wider, not by alot, but its certainly wider.

maybe they should have used it for the bonnevilles...
well, they were full size sedans compared to a coupe so w/e, nvm
even though they got smaller in 2000 but they are wider...
'87-'91 = ???
'92-'99 = 74.5"
'00+ = 74.2"
