My 08 gxp is wrapped up in the garage for the winter and Ive been doing some thinking. Ive had the car for about 9 months and Its put the biggest smile on my face. Ive put 9k on it (39k on car) but lately ive been eying another car.

Thinking about going with a g8GT. (wish I could afford the GXP)

Doing some money calculations and it looks like I could either buy some rims and dr's, ssc lowering kit, ls6 swap, shift kit, trans cooler, dyno tune, and a 100 shot of nos,
or,
Use that money to put down with trade to get the G8 and keep my payment terms as they are.

Anyone know anything about the flaws of the G8GT. (like our ls4 tranny's)

So far with the gxp i have only tinted the window's, custom CAI (k&n w/ t606 tube) and straight piped it at the y (muffler delete)

Bought the gxp fwd because I was going to run all year round, but i have 3 cars now and there is no need.

If snow is not a issue for you trade. No contest.

get the G8 GT, as long as you have some snow tires you should be fine.

Devil's advocate, keep the GXP, instead of LS6 swap and spray, rebuild the trans.

Since you've only had the Prix for only 9 months and you seem to enjoy it, I say keep it and don't mod it anymore. Save up the coin for what you really want...G8 GXP
