Wondering how much harder or easier it is to maintain/ repair a GXP compared to a SSEi. On my SSEi I have found working under the hood pretty easy for me- I am not much of a backyard mechanic. Toughest thing I had was replacing one of the rear plugs.

Is the GXP as easy to service?

While I don't have experience working on a GXP, I have read many posts here and suggest check out some of the posts in the GXP mechanical area for more info. From what I've read, it sounds like the GXP is a much tighter fit and is a lot more difficult to work on overall.

everything is hidden by covers on the GXP for the Northstar. Not to mention you cant fit your arm anywhere down the side of the engine and trans or the firewall (unlike the SSEI)

Think I'll stick with the 3800..... Leave the Northstar to the high end mechanics.....
