WOOHOO.. good news... any idea on whether the tap-shifter will be avail with the V-8?
Thanks for the info. Branden

 

SUHWEET NEWS!

(btw, I have registered )

 

Ditto Impala.

 

V8!?

I figured the Impala would have it but I never put 2 and 2 together and figured the Grand Prix would also see it. Great news!!

 

FWD or RWD??

 

FWD.

 

wow, they're stuffing a small block in everything these days. are we going to see one in the new Malibu too?

 

Thats great. I love the styling on the new GP's, but I couldnt live with a V6 car that big. This changes everything though. Does anyone have an idea how much it will be with the 5.3. Also, is this the same small block from the trucks or a new one?

 

sweet.
I'll take a 2005 GXP, a new hood w/ a big bulge, and a new magnacharger to toss on the 5.3L !

Then you have a mean *** 4dr. that goes ~110mph or more in the 1/4.

Sounds cool to me.

 

Just be sure to start in the lane opposite the direction of torque steer.

 

And the exploding transmission parts .

 

Why V8's and FWD cars don't mix

 

I wonder if it will get the 4T80E tranny...

 

I assume it HAS to get the 4T80E...if a 4T65E can't live behind a 3800 any beeifer than a Series III at 260hp...then it sure as hell won't last behind a torquey V8.

Now if they made a TWO DOOR...oh wait, thats a GTO. Too bad its kinda expensive for me
