Replying to: rayainsw (Feb 14, 2007 9:03 am) Sounds to me you need a 502 hp G8 GXP after the HSV-grin  That will be available probably in 2009'  Rocky |

Replying to: 1487 (Feb 14, 2007 10:59 am) I'm assuming that's a great part of the equation, but I also think there is a corporate process adding some man-hours here.

Replying to: wale_bate1 (Feb 14, 2007 12:21 pm) Actually, I'm assuming that's only a small part of the equation (just how different emmissions-wise is the 6.0l V8 compared to the LS2 in the old GTO?). Personally, I think the internal corporate BS process is at fault here more than anything else. GM just CAN'T get new product to the market efficiently enough. |

Replying to: rorr (Feb 15, 2007 11:36 am) Also they haven't finalized the body panels yet I think. They are going to still be refining it through the summer. -mike

Replying to: paisan (Feb 15, 2007 12:10 pm) Yes. They must be TESTED. But it's not like the new engine is a clean sheet of paper design. If anything, I'd imagine the MDS system would make emissions testing easier. The point isn't whether the new engine/vehicle must be tested but how LONG such testing/certification must take? Particularly when other manufacturer's seem to get through the same process quicker with designs which ARE all new..... |

anxious to see the non "show" version, should still be a good looker and quite the 4DSC with the GT's V8. Can't wait to take it for a drive. -Brian |

Did I miss anywhere if the rear seats will fold down like in the current GP GXP? That was a deal-maker for me!

Replying to: rmozol (Feb 19, 2007 10:05 am) And the stated "Cargo Volume" lists only a single number ( 17.5 cu ft ) where typically it would list 2 numbers if the seat(s) folded.... So - I believe it is unlikely, but not impossible... - Ray No rear seats in current 'ride' to fold up or down...
