I pick up my GXP from the dealer tomorrow. From there I have an appointment with a local shop to get a magnaflow system installed(resonator delete) along with a K&N cold air intake and finally an HID conversion. I'll post some pics & a sound clip if possible,if I can figure out how to use my daughter's camcorder.

When I first saw this thread, I thought of myself at the age of 15.

Nice! Put a shift kit in that baby! Trust me on this. Makes the car much more fun to drive and it doesn't seem to search for the gears on the highway after a shift kit is installed. They are cheap too. 18 bucks at www.w-bodystore.com. Good luck with the car.

I could use that... sometimes driving my car is a overload of annoyances. I can feel that every day on the way to work and back.

Bought her home today. I got a late start out this morning therefore I wasn't able to make my shop appointment today. I had to reschedule for Tuesday.I will post sound clips then.BTW-I will definitely be looking at that shift kit. I have the polished grill & side gill inserts on the way.Sorry about the dark pics but it was raining outside. I'll post more weather permitting.
