Better steering than a BMW is impressive. If only GM would have started building this kind of stuff 3 years earlier than they did.

it's a pity they don't learn their lesson and stop making garbage like the G3, G6, and Torrent... The G3 is a POINTLESS car. They could hire ME for less than half of ANY consultant and I could tell them the same thing.

There's a lot of people waiting for GXP's right now. Plus I doubt there will be that many made and sold at $10K over the price of the GT. Sure there's a lot of GXP Grand Prix's around, but the cost was about the same as a GT, so more people could afford those. I'm 100% satisfied with my GT, all I did was tune it with a hand held and it's turned into a monster! Just think what it will be like with a CAI. V8's make more power in the upper RPM range, which is where the stock airbox becomes a restriction.
