I doubt that. I think it will be a good race.
The GXP will have more from the factory than the stock LS2 GTO did to whoever said less above, its an LS3 and it will have a 6spd backing it.

sorry,
I was thinking the current G8 (the GT)
either way,
I'd love to see what the new GXP can do,
still doubt the extra couple HP will get them faster than a decent gto driver
(I'm an "OK" driver, I ran 13.002 with mine (stock) with a 1.8x 60' on stock tires)

so,
you guys think that 2 more HP will make it faster than a GTO?
and the "Long gears" of the Auto won't help it much either
(but the manual is getting better gears)
slightly heavier curb weight too "4023-4050 lb (mfg) " compared to the GTO's 3765 lb

GXPs with the 6L80 six-speed Hydra-Matic automatic get a 3.27:1 final-drive ratio, and a Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual-this is the only G8 offered with a stick-comes with a 3.70:1 final drive. Pontiac rates both 402 horsepower at 6000 rpm. The automatic makes 402 pound-feet and the stick makes 400 at 4400 (all pending SAE certification).

I believe the new numbers are more like 418HP...Forgot where I saw that...I think the 6spd car with the added HP will give a stock LS2 a run for it's money..driver's race but if are cutting sub 1.9's on street tires I wouldn't be worrying either

I'm an "OK" driver too. I'll let you know what I run when I get mine. They are predicting the GXP to run 13.0's and 0-60 below 5 seconds. That should give any stock GTO a good run. I guess we'll see though.

Also, wondering where you got your build information (1 of 806). If it is a PBM/ black M6 w/ 17's, it should be 1 0f 803 (minus all the ones wrecked by idiot drivers)
Just caught my eye because I have one...3.67% 512 Black Metallic/Black/Auto/17" 80U 812 MX0 PZ9
5.76% 803 Black Metallic/Black/Manual/17" 80U 812 MN6 PZ9
3.24% 452 Black Metallic/Black/Auto/18" 80U 812 MX0 N87
8.06% 1124 Black Metallic/Black/Manual/18" 80U 812 MN6 N87
1.02% 142 Black Metallic/Red/Auto/17" 80U 756 MX0 PZ9
2.99% 417 Black Metallic/Red/Manual/17" 80U 756 MN6 PZ9
1.10% 154 Black Metallic/Red/Auto/18" 80U 756 MX0 N87

if you arent worried about it then why are you
giving it attention & time?????
i'll tell you why, cuz you're worried.
allways remember, the truth always hurts,
and the biggest lies are the ones we tell ourselves.
