Default 00 WS6 to 07-08 GXP

Hey all, well we are going to have another little one, just wonder what your thoughts are on going from an M6 WS6 with headers, cam, exhaust and N20.
I like the look of the car and the features it has.

Congrats on the kid!

My bro has 3 kids under 4 and a Z28SS. I have to daily talk him out of selling the Z, unless he buys a GP GXP, ImpSS or G8 GT.

I had a Z28SS and a MCSS at the same time. If you "have to sell" your car to get a family car, thinking you won't be too disappointed w/ one of these cars. The MCSS and GXP have nicer interiors, radios and seating. Your T/A accelerates and handles better.

I just switched to Eagle F1 A/S tires on the MCSS and that closed the handling gap. Looking to do the BMR and poly suspension pieces this summer.

Still nothing like the M6 in the F-body.

just get the turbo kit, if you think its too slow. The kit alone will get you in the 11's you just need to build your trans first.

The GXP will be more comfortable, ride smoother, and has a better quality interior. But your WS6 will destroy it easily. The GXP will have more low end and not pull as good up top. Other than that FWD A/T isn't half as fun as RWD M6.
