Hello all, I've been lurking for a few weeks while shopping for an LS4 front driver, and I found this place to be an invaluable source of info. Decided not to register until I had a car....and today I picked up a 2007 GXP, black, 75k miles. Got one with about 16 months of warranty left for what I felt was a great deal.
Winter in West Michigan is not the time to find out what it can really do, but I am excited. I haven't had a fun car since the mid 90's when i sold my 89 LX 5.0, but this one is faster and all 3 kids can sit in the back. They love it. And the wife, who hates anything that sits lower than her Tahoe, took it to the store tonite and came back with a big grin.
Great forum you have going here. I'm looking forward to tweaking the GP within warranty regs, and then doing something more after it expires. Unlike the Mustangs, it looks like there aren't many bolt ons for these cars. But as an avid DIY'r I really enjoy this board and the creativity of retrofitting stuff. I expect to get some strip runs this summer since my dad bracket races a tubbed 383 S10, now I get to do more than sit and watch. :D
I've already spent way too many late nighst reading some of the tuning and intake/cam swap threads. I'm developing a dangerous level of knowledge that needs to be fine tuned now. Be forewarned, I will have tons of q's for you guys soon.....but I will also try to give back as much as I can.
Meanwhile, can someone make all this white crap go away?
