| being the owner of a gxp and having owned a 1994 Gt. In my opinion (I hate to say) I feel the 94 gt would beat the gt in the 1/4 if that's what your asking. A newer gt would probably beat it also, (haven't had a chance to test that challenge out yet) | |

on paper they are pretty evenly matched. I'd say it depends on the driver, weather and timing. I've beat a new Mustang GT and been beaten by one at the traffic light launch; run for a block or two... toss up. to jccantfly591 - you will get Zero hp to the rear wheels of a GXP - the GXP is a front drive car. |

I have never done any track racing. Have owned a Grand Am GT and now own a GXP. Love them both. Both underrated. Stoplight raced an M3 convertible recently with GXP. Don't think it was new. Driver was heavier than me plus he had a passenger. I weigh 170. Smoked him off the line, at 85 mph he was still well behind. I slowed down at that point. He seemed angry and kept accelerating....very fast...very dangerous. DO NOT REPEAT THIS STUNT!!! Have also been challenged by some "tuners", all have lost to the GXP. I HAVE ABANDONED THIS PRACTICE, IT'S TOO DANGEROUS. Have not had the GXP over 100 mph. Did it regularly with the GA GT. Handled great. Its rigid body and tight suspension made high speed driving fun. At 94000 miles, I just replaced the original brake pads!!!! If you look at hp, torque, and weight, A GXP should keep up with MustGT with an automatic, if not beat it. Some members here have written that they ran below 14's in the 1/4 mile. I believe it. I think Pontiac's official 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times are cautious.

Replying to: v8jim (Jul 10, 2006 1:26 pm) Opening up the headlight allows more air into the stock airbox. I don't do it since I have a FWI and run my car as I would on the street. Email me and I'll point you in some great directions/links.
