Once at a red light, 2 guys where in a car beside me and I had my window down a notch. They were basically trying to figure out what my 97 camaro was. One of the guys asked his other buddy if it was a saturn.

I reved and hoped that cleard it up a bit. Pretty funny.


One time rolling up to my mechanic, his little boy was there(maybe 8 years old?). And he told me I had a nice viper.

hahaha

a previous thread started by GuionM mentions one of the requirements by GMNA to Holden, to create a front end that resembles the rest of the Pontiac lineup.

I think the Holden people did a fine job at that if they're able to "fool" most folks, even if some of those folks are car enthusiasts.

We went with the 5-spokes, seen here: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/466733

But, I wish we would have waited to get the chromed ones... they stand out a lot more, but this GTP was on the lot, and they offered a nice deal.

I know the 10-spokes are only availble on the Comp G option (which my wife did not want), but I wasn't real crazy about them, and I understand that you can option to the 5-spoke wheel on the Comp G.
I got the chrome 5 spokes and the chrome dealer installed grill.

Outta curiosity, does your have the revised backseat. I lucked out and got on that has the backseat with extra padding. They apparently changed at some point.

Also, do your healights shake? On mine if I hit a bump at night you can see the headlights almost rattle. I know this is a big issue they are discussing over at ClubGP. I have call into Pontiac, but they have been unresponsive thus far.

I'm killing the next person who refers to my Impala as "a cop car"

How long 'til you sell this car, Brandon?

As soon as I can get out of it without being upside down.

A GM In The Driveway certificate and decent downpayment go a long way.
Joking!


I plan on keeping this one a while. We are in a very good dituation now with me haveing the GTP and here driving the Trailblazer (she is a nurse). Plus I totally love the GTP

Nice choice on the wheels.

I did not know there was a revised back seat... I can check though, is there something to look for that would tell me if I did or not?

Now that you mention it, yes, I have noticed a 'wobble' in the headlamps when driving... I thought it was just me though. lol. I'd appreciate it if you let me know if they respond to you for a fix.
