No idea why those times are so different probably a typo

Unless they are using comp g times against the 06-07 gt times. But I will say, the 06-07s have a short rev limiter in gear. I've driven two 06 gt's and one 07, all three wouldn't go above the 4500-5000 rpm range.

I found it weird but that would have something to do with it I bet.

The car was in Park when you rev'd? All 04+ are like that.

That is a rev limiter set by GM, the cars will rev out to 5750-6000 in Neutral.

2006 saw the introduction of the 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. I know for a fact build specs were tightened up; possibly the limiter was reduced as well.

in park my 07gt will rev to 4k, on the street at wot in drive itll make it to 5400

LOLOLOL I own one and it won't ever be a collectors car.

As far as your web search, its possible they are quoting the base times. I have seen several 06-08 bases being advertised as GT's, when anyone with a clue knows the 06 and 07 GT were nothing more than GTP's with a different nomenclature, and there were no 08 GT's.

No 04+ gp will ever be a collectors car. The only 97-03 gps that will ever be even considered a collectors car are the pace cars the Richard Petty car and maybe the 98 and 00 Daytonas.

Sent from my mobile office.

Even those will only be considered a "collectors car" to a minimal few.

If you want a collector's car pick up a Pontiac G8, preferably a GXP. THAT will be a collector's car. The new Chevy SS (G8 in disguise) looks HORRIBLE.
Around here G8's still pull high teen$.

Slightly lower = 1.5 second difference in 0-60? My 97 GT pulss an 8 second 0 - 60.

My 07 GT pulls a mid 6 0-60.

Again, the 06 and 07 GT are nothing more than a GTP with a GT nameplate.

x2 ^^ my 07 does the sameish

And finally, the one thing no one else has knowledge of is that the cars themselves have a 15 degree past 12 setting shift on third gear on the tranny. I told you I knew engines "N" Stuff. Nuff said.

whats a l32 mod?

He's talking out his ass.

the 06 and 07 GT has the exact same horsepower, exact same torque, and exact same options as a 04-05 GTP. They are the same car with two different nameplates.

The best part is he is the thread starter. That means he came here to ask questions, and now all of a sudden he is the expert. LOLOLOL
