Just wondering because I am looking at an 04, but it is not a comp g
Are the compg gtp's faster than the non compg gtp's?

a comp g is a gtp with 3.29 gears and an upgraded suspension

in theory, yes because of the gearing but not sure how much difference it is. motor wise, like stated above exact same thing.

Yes but he said '04. So both cars in question have a GenV

a whole bunch of info for the comp g

the main thing i like about the comg g is the 3.29 gears. i could care less about the tap shift, my trans starts to slip everytime i even use it. 3rd gear also went out the 3rd day i had it too, tap shift does a number on the trans. something to think about if you are getting a comp g.

God I hate 4t65's hd or not.... as far as GM fwd trans seems like they suck. Why can't they make them more like the old school stuff like th350's or th400's. Oh well by the way I would assume that the comp g is def faster, but probably suffers from slightly worse gas mileage than other GP's.

paddle shifters are failures. Takes so long for them to actually shift, it's pointless

haha yeah that's how all paddle shifters work except the ones on the video games. my dad's 2010 taurus has paddle shifters that work well, but it also is a 6spd

Before I got my tune, I actually used the paddles quite a bit. When coming out of curves it helps tremendously to downshift before you get back on the throttle. After I changed my shift points it really eliminated the need for this because I don't have to get so deep in the throttle to downshift. So bottom line, the paddles are okay if you have a stock PCM but useless if you have a decent tune job. I haven't had any slipping prolems with mine.... yet.

Once you're tuned, the only use for the paddles is to downshift when there's deer in the road if you've got the coordination to slam in to tapshift and tap down. But I suspect that most people would rather have nice brakes. Or, I guess, if you wanted to launch the car in second.
