Best performer for the money..

I traded in 2 Saturns for a black 2008 Grand Prix GXP with 62,300 miles. I've gone though it with new coils, wires, plugs, wipers, filters, some fluids changed and a new set of tires. Even replaced the headlight lenses and tail lights with new custom modern LEDs. Also added a performance chip and a Turbomag kit. I have a few other repairs I still have to do (like A/C, it works but leaks), but I love this car already and I am just getting started. Not good for full burn outs, though it has the power. Instead, you just launch! Your head hits the head rest and it feels like your eye xxxxx are bouncing off the back of your skull. I love it. Stock with the LS4 5.3L they are 303 hp, I think I'm getting around 380 something out of it. It's my baby, even though I am more of a classic car fan. They can bury me in it when I die. :o)

Have a 2008 GXP Grand Prix

Have had it since it came off the line in 2007. Use it for personal travel. Did some "road" trips to AZ and So & No Cal, broke more than a few speed limits! It gets looks everywhere. Love, Love, Love my GXP. Am having 3 fluid leaks fixed this week. Expensive, but I plan to keep it. It looks like new still.
