My garage just got a much needed upgrade! Sunroof option + mandatory 6-speed manual. The car is nothing short of spectacular. Pics soon to follow

Congrats! Dang it, I'm itching to get mine! How does it feel power-wise? Did you get to drive a GT before?

MSRP on these cars is about $38,895 + $1,700 Gas Guz, + $600 for the manual + $900 for the sunroof. I have not got on it yet given that it has less than 15 miles on it. But the chassis feels much more refined than my GTO and light years ahead of my Z28. It handles more like a coupe vs. the 4 door sedan that it really is. The interior is very nice and comfortable.

Nice car, but at $40K I'd have gotten a C6.

I know, opinions are like a-holes.

True... and I needed something with 4 doors. And at this price, what else is there with 400+ horse + the fun-to-drive factor?

Dude that car is HOT.


So I take it that they really are still bringing in the GXP version (as was, at one point, feared to not be happening)?
