LOL at the Golf R on there. Swap it out with the Pontiac G8 GXP and you've got a good list. Best part being, the G8 GXP is already on a rare breed/collectors car list.

Agreed. The GXP is a phenomenal car... and only 1829 produced. Mine made 440/454 to the wheels with a full complement of bolt ons. The car was a blast to drive and I miss it sometimes, but the Boss will fill the void just fine.:waytogo:

Nice car :) Cant argue with the LS engine in them. Not a GM fan, but the advantage for the G8 is that it is an Australian car, so not tied to the downfalls of American GM.
For 4 door fun, its between that and a CTS-V. 2 doors, I'd def rock a Boss. But why not just keep them all eh ;)

BTW, I'd imagine you didnt take much (if any) of a $ hit on selling(?) the GXP. Truth?

Truth. I sold it for more than I paid for it after almost 2 years and nearly 9k miles. I was out a chunk of the mod money but that's to be expected.

HOLY GOD that was one of the best sounding V8's I have ever heard. So smooth yet mean.:cool:

I feel the same way. I've had a few wicked sounding cars but the GXP was easily in the top 3. It sounded even better running down the road. I wish I had video of the car from a first gear roll. It would nuke the tires to redline in first, spin them up through second, and turn them into third. It would surprise the Hell out of people. There were a few AMG's and Porsches that ended up on the wrong side of my family sedan's taillights.:ROFLJest:

I wanted one. I sat in one at the dealership and it fit my body perfect. The seats were like made for me. The raptor is the same though, I fit perfect in the HUGE bolsters.
