Just found that out from a B/GMC/P telecast I just watched...

I told you guys these suckers were good

 

They are a great choice for a front driver, and I hear someone got one to run a 13.6@102mph. Had the timeslip and everything. Although he said the car was the hardest car to launch he has driven in his life. I think they are good looking inside and out; car screams Pontiac.

 

Our IT Director where I work recently bought a GP GXP. It really is a nice car. Sounds good too.

 

Yeah, they sound friggen awesome Man, if I had only bought one back during Employee Pricing...

 

If they are selling so well, why haven't I seen one?

 

I guess that is why I haven't seen one on the lots yet? I am like 91z284me, I haven't seen one on the road yet either.

 

Man....those are sexy cars.

If they had a decent tow rating I'd consider trading our Blazer for one.......but alas - they only tow 1000lbs.

If they ever came with a M6........I'd be even more tempted!

 

I see them alot over here in my area of Pa. Last time I was at Coley Pontiac they had a fully loaded one sitting next to a 6speed G6 GTP and a 6 speed GTO lined up in front of the office window.

 

Does that mean they sold 3 GXP's out of 9 total GP's? Do you have actual numbers? Any word on how many Impala's are SS's?

 

I don't know about Impala SSs, but out of the 10 or so I've seen, half have been SSs!

And no, it doesn't mean 3 GXPs of 9 sold, smart a** Actually, GP sold like 11-12k units in October alone...not sure about November.

 

There are lots of new Impalas here, but that is not good. I live in the Capital city of KY, the state has already gotten a huge fleet of new '06 Impalas. They are the basic fleet cars either white or blue with the state seal on the door, state execs/employees drive them around the state. Around here I think this waters down the new Impalas and hurts retail sales. Chevy should have extended '05 Impala production just for fleet cars, and left the new '06s on the retail lots.

 

They're a great choice period! Driving it hard in the twisties, it doesn't "feel" FWD. Nailing it from a stop, the torque steer is as manageable as a slithering tail in an F body that's trying to get traction. 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other IMO.

 

I haven't seen any out here yet.

But somehow I've seen 3 Solstices so far.

Strange.

 

I was under the impression that the GPs are selling well. I see them all the time around here.

 

Anyone seen or heard of a dyno for one of these 5.3 front drivers? Just curious what kinda power they're really putting down, haven't heard yet. I haven't seen either a GXP or a Imp SS that I'm aware of....
