And the G6 GXP can be a fun little car with the 6 speed manual. 3.6L I believe with around 265hp? Test drove one and I really liked the feel of it, backseat was plenty big too for a coupe. Would've liked that 6 speed manual in the ss t/c.

Very believable. My friend has a '97 GTP... Is has 222,000 miles on it and just a couple mods (intake, tune, smaller pulley). I pull him good on rolls... But I just cannot catch him from a dig to the quarter mile. He's on normal street tires with 212.5whp in a 3600lb. car pulling 1.9 sixty foots at the track consistently and running consistent 13.7s @ 98. Beastly from a dig. No doubt.

Sweet kill dude! That's a 5.7L, 300 horsepower V8, must've felt good to slightly edge on him. The downside to the Grand Prix GXP is the weight (3600lbs) and the forced automatic tranny.
>>NOTE: Outside temperature will not change how your car runs. The computer will always force the car to have 260hp/260trq no matter what the weather. See for yourself. Check out how much boost you run on a cold day, then check on a hot day. The comp will lower boost in colder weather and increase it in warmer. It's a smart idea I think, but I can't wait to get rid of it with the GM tune when it arrives!
