If I had that $35,000 to buy a 2009 GXP, I would do so in a heartbeat (sorry Chevy). Miller Pontiac has a Liquid Red GXP parked outside their showroom and it looks fantastic with those wheels. I can just imagine what a modded GXP would run like (mid 12's)would be a good estimate. Just when GM gets it right, they seem to shoot themselves in the foot and kill it. The Fiero started out as a piece of crap, but by 1988 they had it right and stopped production that year. If anyone has ever seen what the restyled 1989 Fiero was to look it, it was one hella of sharp looking sports car. LONG LIVE THE G8!
I've checked out this car. If I didn't love my IOM and the payment jump was a bit more reasonable, I may have traded up.
