Maybe he drove the G6 GXP?? The G8 GXP is built on basicly the same chasis, (ZETAI vs ZETAII), has the same engine in the M6 (LS3), same tranny T6060, and handles like a freaking dream. Oh, and the breaking, I think if anything, the breaking in the G8 GXP is too sensitive. Those 14" Brembo's up gront stop on a dime. Maybe the dealer just put GXP emplems on it ;-)

I picked up a GXP in April, foregoing my Camaro 2SS for now.
The auto-trans GXP is a 'point & shoot' wonder. Too fast. I barely even tap its potential most of the time. I've shown my exhaust tips to Audis, BMWs, Lexii, lesser Jaguars and an Aston Martin (model ?) on Route 1, heading south near Highland Park, NJ. I imagine the Camaro 2SS, with the right person behind the wheel, is as swift as the GXP. Haven't come up against one of those yet. The best part of the GXP, as it pertains to its capabilities, is in its tastefully appointed and unassuming appearance. A 'sleeper' of sorts. It's exhilarating to accelerate up to, or just a bit over, the legal speed limit and leave the drivers of other machines slack-jawed. Ought to be profiled on "Modern Marvels- Last of the V8 Dinosaurs Edition" |

The problem is you can't find a GXP anymore even if you wanted one. There are like none to be found around here in NJ so I can't even find one to test drive. And it isn't going to be any easier to find one now that Pontiac is gonzo

But I don't understand why this would surprise people. .1 seconds is margin of error difference and it's basically the same car for all intents and purposes. The weight difference is only about 100 lbs vs the SS auto. |

I drive the G8 GT, it is nice, I have heard that the GXP is quite impressive
I would love to have a 2SS/RS 2010 Camaro, The exterior is just pure beauty! But to person, who said he drove the G8 GXP and basically said it was a peice of crap, I would love to see what he thinks of the new camaro when and if he ever gets to drive one? Because they are very similar in many ways, (not counting doors/looks). Oh well, to each his/her own. ________ SCION XD Last edited by jrc1122; 03-11-2011 at 09:57 PM. |

I wouldnt worry about it too much because the guy saying that drives a car that feels like it should have 3 green shells revolving around it, and an italian plumber for a driver. Last edited by KoTToN; 06-09-2009 at 10:03 AM. |
