The G8 GXP is a sure to be a great car and a real runner. I bet someone will crack 12.99 in stock trim. It's going to be a nice option for those looking at the fully loaded Camaro SS and deciding to have that kind of fun with 4 doors and a backseat fit for adults.

Considering they are going to be roughly the same weight, I tell ya what, I might as well seat 4-5 comfortably for that kind of performance. And, I get a vastly better looking interior to boot.

Yet again I'm defending myself to a bunch of irrelevant, stupid comments....first off, as I said in my 1st post "priced right." At the time, the price wasn't known yet, and AFAIK still isn't announced.

Also, my last Camaro I sold to get another Impala SS (hmm, "adopting 2 doors"), did a lot of modding (powerful V8), and converted it to a 6 speed (ala G8 GXP)...and on top of this, the only cars I've ever owned have been GM RWD V8's and I've never cared about the fuel economy because I wanted to drive something I enjoyed...but after the recent run of $4.50 per gallon of gas, and thinking about the difference in my 12-16 mpg cars, I thought I'd do the V6 Camaro since even it had more power than my current cars did when stock (and it gets 27 mpg)...but then figuring that I like the Stryker Blue so much (and again as I said large (4 dr) performance cars), and at the time having never seen ABM on any cars, I figure to say **** on the mileage as I have so many times before and go with what I really want (the GXP depending on price)...

So yeah, there it is...and another thing; Guy, this isn't the first time you've said some bitch-like remark to me....that's why I never post (even though I drop in every day or 2); because of all the "high and mighty" people around here, I just decide to lurk and enjoy reading the new info...so, thanks again fellas for everything!

You know, BIG B7887, I think all anyone was trying to do was get a little understanding. Your latest post goes a long way to explaining your thoughts. No one has to approve of what you do but you, but maybe others want to understand why so they can make better informed decisions themselves?

I think you owe the man an apology. I mean, you called him gay, those are fighting words if I ever heard any, without really understanding where he was coming from.
