Well, after looking for quite a while and driving all over the eastern half of the US, I found my baby. Here she is!!!

Comes with a rotofab, HFC's, custom tune, Full Pedders Xa street suspension, BMR swaybars and 19" VMR v710s (hypersilver). Has a few other odds and ends but the list is already building with this car. ;-)

It seems that those of us who had 04 GTP s have upgraded this week!

Congrats! I love that color! Are you going to keep it "stock" ..? LOL or do you have more plans?

Not me!!!

But I was thinking that if was going to park a car in the garage for the winters and drive it as much as I did this year (maybe 1K miles at the most), why not a Corvette!!! But it's only a thought. I have a daughter getting married in 2013 and you know how that goes!!

Believe me you won't miss the GP. I don't miss mine at all. The only complaint I have with the G8 is that the tires wear quickly. I'm getting 18 mpg with DOD off and I get on it quite a bit.

Rear folding seats are the only thing I miss besides my aftermarket parts. I really want an exhaust!

There's a good sized pass-thru opening in the rear seat. If something doesn't fit thru there I use our minivan.

Very nice. If I would have come across one that nice when I was car shopping I don't think I could of passed it up. Of course all the ones for sale here were red or black with no sunroof.. Who doesn't get a sunroof this day in age!!

LMFAO, go get one Corey!!! The only downfall to this car is that everything to upgrade the car is at least double the price unless you find a hot deal.

. I'd have it closed all the time anyways. Plus if your at the track, it's mandatory to where a helmet.

Some, not all. But there is a HUGE selection of places to get stuff unlike the GP. Face it... We all have bought a ton of stuff from ZZP. It's the best and only performance shop for the 3.8 He'll I've run into Aussie forums with old Commedores that have the 3.8 and they'd get stuff from ZZP.

I don;t have a sunroof and I don't miss it at all. I had one on the CompG but all it did was cause wind noise.
