I love the looks I get when I tell car buffs it has a FWD V8 and a LSX no less. But my time with my GP GXP might be coming short. As much as i love my car and have felt its become a part of me. Im in the middle of a deal to get a 09 G8 GT. Will miss the gxp

I'm done too When I first purchased my GXP I was really excited about owning a car where “luxury meets performance” for 12K. Unfortunately the “mod bug” soon buried its expensive head deep into my soul. I blame you guys!!!!!!! In my quest for more performance I have over spent, have reduced the car’s luxury side and even have considered doing the trade in thing. I am hoping that after a few more go fast parts my mod fever will be satisfied (yea right) and that I will be able to settle down and enjoy all the other great attributes of this car.
With all of that said there is a 2005 GTO for sale about 20 minutes from me, they are asking 11950 for it, I think I will go test drive it today.

when i got this impala at a saturn dealership in bordentown,nj, it was between a top banana charger rt and the impala. i looked at them, made my decision, came back and the charger was gone. I got a pretty good deal for the impala though: 13,900 so i had to have it. it was a huge step up from a 06 impala LT (two different animals IMO). when i got it i wasnt considering modding it to go any faster until i came on here and my friends talking about do this that and the third. as a daily driver it meets all my needs and then some (i love the sound of the CAI and the engine howling when i gun it). a guy said on this thread before that i should of did my research but the impala is my favorite car of all time so i said what the hell. i want my car to run mid 13's to mid or high 12's but modding these cars are quite expensive as far as turbo and super chargers go and my fiance isn't having that (she got mad at me when i took off the reso and put on flowmaster mufflers. boy did i hear it for like a month) this car is a sleeper without a question and i do love it, my only dread is that it's fwd.

I said it, and it's true. I researched this car before I bought it and knew what I was getting into. It's not a great platform to start with, but it is a ballsy sedan. I really dislike the FWD factor, but the wife loves it and I can deal with it until I can get my next car. She knows I won't settle for something she likes again! lol

I'm trying to get mine paid off early. The plan was for me to get a C6 Vette, but we're having a child this summer, so I'm looking into CTS-V's. I have to have a 6-speed, RWD, and power! I miss a 6-speed car a lot.
