It has 63k on it and I’m about to steal it for a hair over what they took it in for, and trading my neon and grand prix on it. If they don’t work the numbers the way I want, I won’t buy it. ---

They make roots type supercharger kits for them, also the gxp has l92 heads which are the rough casting of the c6 zo6 heads.So with some head porting and a cam/boltons 500whp all motor is attainable. im also positive that their are cam options for both models. I am seriously considering a GXP not only because of the motor options but also you could get the gxp in a 6mt but they are EXTREMELY rare and still go for 30k+ they are awsome cars and are a perfect combo performance and luxury. Motortrend refers to them as “the american M5”. ---

I’ve been looking at SRT8 300Cs/ Jeep SRT8’s as of lately. I noticed that black one popped up at that dealer in EG. I think it’s Joe P’s Dad’s old ride. ---

The G8 is a gorgeous car. It rides like a GTO, but has an extra 2 doors. Win. I’m not sure how good they are in the snow, though. Weighing nearly 4,000 pounds I would assume that they would be alright with some snow tires out back. Watch: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHwulo045t0](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHwulo045t0) Like the GTO, it doesn’t run a 12 second quarter mile nor does it have fancy interior features or AWD. Also like the GTO, it is one of the most entertaining cars to drive in it’s category and does powerslides on command all day long. ---

Also like the GTO, it is one of the most entertaining cars to drive in it’s category and does powerslides on command all day long. Drove the car today. It was a pig. I figured in my head “ah… What the hell, I need to grow up and buy an adult car…” so I sit down to run some numbers. I was told I’d be getting a deal, so my initial offer was $10k cash, my neon, and gtp, in trade for the g8. After having every person at the dealer drooling all over my neon, The guy comes back and says $17k. I told him 12 at most, he came back with 17 firm. I shook his hand, and wished him luck selling it. I took my keys and left. I really didn’t want to spend 10k on that thing, I can’t justify getting rid of 2 cars for a slow daily that looks sort-of cool.
