His GTP runs 13.10's, and has over 65,000 miles on the original transaxle.

He posts here sometimes, maybe if he sees this thread, he can give us some insight.
I know one thing he does for sure is he changes the tranny fluid every 20,000 miles with mobil 1. Drove his car yesterday with the GMPP suspension kit on it drives alot better and i didn't notice any torque steer.

Just did a search of all of rlsedition's posts. Sounds like the GXP will be the hot one, compared to Impala SS.

Too bad he took early retirement, he sounded like a real car guy.

Pontiac usually gets the extra little performance details. Wonder if any of that cool GXP stuff will end up on an Impala after Pontiac is gone?
Probably not.

The tranny's aren't too bad, as long as you don't flush'em. I drop the pan, change the filter & add mobil1 tranny fluid every 20k or so.
69k so far on mine.
I'm running 1.89 60' times on regular street tires with almost no torque steer.
13.11 is my best time so far.
Brandon you gotta get a dhp program in your '04. TQ management just
kills the 04's.

I've gotta cool short vid if someone is willing to host. GTP vs TA
