The new GXP'* are very nice cars though, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one.

Yeah, the tapshift I could do without, but I want that motor! Glad that they're keeping the */C 3.8 around in the GT, be a shame to lose it. Still hoping for an American RWD application for it. Don't see why they didn't up the performance on it again instead of bringing out a V-8, but....
BTW I found out the hard way that you don't want to floor it between 35 and 40mph from cruising in my PA Ultra. Did it to get around a truck the other night, and the thing went ape-sh*t! Tires were spinning, grabbing, spinning again, hunting for grip. Let off it real quick.
Don't seem to be able to do it deliberately but Holy Crap that was cool!! Can't wait to get my 3.4 pulley on it!
