Sorry guys its a late model Prix not a big ol' boat. Its the closest thing I can afford to my PT Camaro/Trans AM at the moment with my project truck. It is a very fun car from the factory. Its a 2007 Grand Prix GXP with a 5.3L LS4. The paddle shifters are alot of fun and the crossdrilled brakes grab HARD. It has a G meter built into the driver information center, best Accel was around .75G, Latereal was .85G and Decel I have gotten to 1.15G (panic mode, an on coming car passed in a no passing zone and I popped over the hill only to see a car coming at me with no where to go, I hit the binders and held on as tight as possible). I thought maybe some of you guys would like it, smallish car that has an LS V8 kind of a modern production PT car. I plan on getting some wheels, an exhaust, CAI, possibly a tune and a few suspension upgrades.

I'd love to see a remote mount turbo on one of those, would be one hell of a sleeper!

You work in the grain industry or just where the pic was taken?

I have liked those GP's for a while. I love the idea of building one of those up for a DD. It would look good with a mesh wheel or G8 wheels if they bolt up.
