Default Pics of my new whip: Solstice GXP

Pics: http://community.webshots.com/album/...host=community

Click on the picture then the small magnifying glass underneath the pictures to see the full size version.

Just picked it up Tuesday off of the showroom floor. Put on 360 miles so far [need 500mi to finish the break in and change all of the fluids].

The only options it has are the Premium Package [leather seats, power windows/locks], A/C, auto, and chrome 18" wheels. It has 260hp/260tq, and weighs under 3,000lbs.

So far I am loving this car. I'm taking it easy while breaking it in [no going over 70mph, no redlining, ect], but I love the power it has and handles like it's on rails. It has double wishbone front and rear with bilstein coilovers and thicker swaybars, plus the 245/45/18 tires and wheels. It has the K04 turbo [found on a lot of Audi's], so turbo lag is almost nonexistant. A lot of people and magazines have run the car at 14.1 in the 1/4 [that's with the auto]. One owner was able to go 13.8 with a cat-back.

The dealer wanted $29,995.00 for it, but I got it for $27,500.00 before tax. My dad was able to use his Military Appreciation Month discount and a GMS.

There are several companys trying to hack the computer so that they can mod the engine even more.

Nice. I wonder what it traps? Yeah, I bet hp tuners will be covering this car soon, if they havent already done so. I would like to see one in the 12's.

The magazines are trapping between 98-100mph in the 1/4.
