I am looking at buying a GP. Looking on EBAY and autotrader there are a bunch of different models to choose!!! I want something fast and something I can do some modding too (just had twins so can't do too much yet). Here is what I am looking at:

GXP (05-08)
GTP (not sure on years made)
Newer GT that is Supercharged (07)

Which one is the best? I am looking for something that gets decent mpg's and would do good in the MI winters. Oh ya I am looking to spend less than $12,000-$13,000. Which ones can use regular gas (87)? Thanks in advance!!!!!

Previous cars: 09 Dodge Ram Hemi, 300c, Charger.
 


personally, i wouldnt use 87 at all, carbons up the engine. I have torn apart my motor many thousand miles later on 93 and there is not a hint of buildup, it burns that much cleaner.
 


i have an 04 gt rite now thas ridiculously loaded n superchargedn i absolutely love it... but if i were u i would either get a gtp or a gxp i tried gettin my dad to pitch in tha extra 4 grand for an 07 gxp but he wasnt havin it lol...
 
LOl. It is a hard choice. I always wanted a supercharger but the GXP has a lot of cool options and some flowmasters would sound good on them.
 
Get an 04+ gtp. Especially if you like the s/c whine. I love it and everyday I wish my car was supercharged. Anyway you'll get better mpg in a gtp and the 3800 engine is an excellent engine.
 


A n/a gp can be supercharged. It's what we call a top swap. It can cost around $1200. I've been looking into it. But I would stay away from a s/c on eBay. And that gxp seems to be priced pretty reasonably. I'm not to sure what gxp's go for but it seems pretty fair.
 
I just purchased a 2006 GXP for 11900 (June 1, 2009). Was looking at a 2005 GTP Comp for 11500. I think the dealer would of gone lower on the 2005 model but I was sold on the GXP after the first test drive. Dropped some more money into it and now I am really loving it. Hope this helps
 


I have a 2008 GXP, bone stock, 22-25 mpg overall consistently, running on 91 octate non-ethanol gasoline. I've put 15,000 miles on mine. Don't know how that gas mileage compares to an S/C or a standard 3800, but I'm sure pleased with my performance (for now) and gas mileage.
 
I bought dedicated winter tires on separate rims from The Tire Rack for my GXP since I have 45 miles each way to work on country roads in fine Wisconsin winters...so I can't help you too much with whether 'stock' is good in the snow. Mine's great with the snow tires on, obviously.
 
Mine did fine in the winter...but it was heavily modded and didn't like going from point A to B...
