Plastic vs. G6 gxpTorchedStealth 11-03-2009, 11:28 PM I was on my way to class yesterday and our bridge by my house just re opened after a summer long project, and its the fastest way to campus to I took it. Pulled up next to my neighbor (graduated with him and known him since 2nd grade) who has a g6 gxp with the 3.6 VVT V6 with intake, gmpp (borla) catback, and vector motorsports canned tune. Little background, we raced before when I was on stage 2 (42's, 2.9, non meth shitty tune with no cooling mods) and from 35-125 I had about 5-6 cars on him. For reference sake I had about 3 on him at 105. He took off a few times just messing around and then lined up at around 45 mph. He honked it off and I had about 10-12 cars on him by 105 (really hard to tell when its that far apart lol!), but then he said he started in 3rd. So we went again from the same speed and this time we were both in 2nd and I struggled for traction when I hit it but quickly gained it back and pulled mean on him. Torque steering through 2nd I no lift shifted to 3rd at 70 shooting out a nice little flame:) Held 3rd out to just under redline and let out at 105 with a good 7-8 cars on him. We were both pretty impressed at how much my new mods helped me. Keep in mind this is on my winter tune which netted me a 106mph trap. On my smaller pulley on kill mode I should trap 110 or just under. So who wants to see the video I make when I run him on the Man pulley and nice tune? Haha! I have to admit though, a tune wakes those gxp's up a LOT! -The Stig- 11-05-2009, 09:39 AM The only good thing about G6 GXP's is that they don't make them any more... A disgrace to Pontiac... it's sad, that Pontiac tried so hard to make fun cars but ended up making plastic clad ugly front drivers (GrandPrix anybody?) then again with these G6's... and when they finally got it right with the G8 GT/GXP and Solstice GXP... they die. So either my G8GT is worth nothing, or a lot... being one of the last Rear drive Pontiacs ever. Woot? UnderEstimate Me 11-07-2009, 06:53 PM vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
