    GXP Clint lol. GTP were grand prix like the wifes car. GXP came with the 6.2 from camaro's 6spd, or autotragic. 415hp or 400 from the factory. The GT's were 361hp form the factory. With bolt on's the wake up alot. Hell just a reflashed ecu gains about 30whp. There great cars okay on gas but have the power of a V8. If i was to replace the GTP we have i would get the G8 they have way more room inside plus it has a LS based motor even though the gtp 3.8's are very strong too.

    The 6.0 is the ls2 so it's got 400hp. And gets 24+mph on the highway. Add a tune, free flowing intake and exhaust and that number will go up.

    I drove a few at when I worked at the dealership. Never got to drive the manual v8 unfortunately. I liked how they drove. They do ride pretty stiff though but still comfortable.

    As long as the car is in as good of shape as this guy says it is we will probably be driving it home. This will make Our(her) 5th Pontiac. The sour car deal here took her 2009 G6 GT, fully loaded with 12,000 original miles. We have also had one N/A Grand Prix, two GTP's, and a Grand Am GT ram air. This will make our bought vehicle count 33, since I was 16.
