The old Fox bodies.

On the '11 and up 5.0 not an easy race and close. The Coyote 5.0 is great at the start but above 60 mph and up the LS3 takes over. Could even be down to the better driver/racer.

Its nice to pass on our experiences.

So how's the blind spot in your 'maro Bob? I've heard a lot of people talk about how horrible the blind spot is in those cars.

It sux. Plus the rear seats and passenger space are worthless. Trunk is dinky and the battery is back there. But can't beat the LS3 engine and 6 speed manual transmission considering the cost of the car.

Thanks. What I like is for 2011 GM added a HUD for the 2SS and LT models. Also, this one has the RS package/option so it has all the beeps and bells like the HID headlights, etc. The only thing I miss is a sunroof but my GXP has that.

Also, if anyone is interested we are selling a '08 GXP. Liquid Silver Metallic. 65K miles. PM/Email me on the price.

Very cool.

Selling the GXP already?! Is this the same one you drove all the way to South Jordan for?

Not mine. This one is my sons. He is deploying to the Middle East end of this year.

It has a K&N Aircharger intake and a Diablo Power Tuner included. Excellent condition. All the beeps and bells...fully loaded including sunroof.

Oh, ok. Very nice. Best of luck to your son and a big thank you for the service. I have several close friends who are either deployed already or are about to be.

Re: Grand Prix "Take a Break" Thread

Bummer. Yeah, I've been there and it wasn't fun - I did that to pay off the Prix early actually. Well hopefully he's doing well.

Re: Grand Prix "Take a Break" Thread

And lets take a moment to remember all the ones who lost their lives on this day 10 years ago, all the friends and family members affected, and the search and rescue teams who risked their own lives to save others. 9-11, we will never forget.
