I even like the SSEi's they are really nice, roomy, nice ride, quite on the inside and have a somewhat sleeper look to them. +2 on the bonniville GXP

I like the Bonnie GXP's a lot. K&N Filters sponsored us one year and they rented E-Town just for us. They had 4 G6's and 2 Bonnie GXP's. They let us beat on em for time trials. The cars still had the stickers on the windows, lol. The one I drove had 17 miles on it and the best time I got was a 14.7. Not too shabby for a big 4 door.

+1 for the Bonny GXP. Been thinking about one myself, if my Camry happened to die.... :shifty:

Raced one of those late 90's blown SSE's back in the day w/ my modded 97z...Goodlooking car but after 30 it was over :burnout:....but i think they have some potential.

I really like the Bonne GXP but I cannot forget seeing them new at the dealership...and watching them fall apart (literally) on the lot.

While talking to the salesmen about the car I had to point out that the rocker GFX were literally falling off the car (double stick tape). The front susp. components and brakes also looked extremely cheap (and pretty rusted). I think that because it was the last year Bonne quality control may have slipped...

I'd still like to have one though :D

I like Bonnes the GXPs are great. Figure a SSEi ran apprx 1 sec slower than a similar GTP (stock for stock or mods being identical) so figure if the GP GXP runs a mid to hi 13 the Bonne GXP should be good for mid to hi 14. Mod potential is pretty good too.

Predator86 11-14-2007 04:28 PM

its funny right after i saw this thread a bonneville gxp pulled into the sts where i work....very aggressive looking and sounding

One of the best bargains out there. They are very roomy and quite comfortable(for 4 people) for the long haul. Looks are up there for a sedan, and the V/8 and wheel package make it quite racy. Lots of standard "TOYS", and you will not see yourself on every street corner, because the production was not that high. :nod:
