Pulled the Trigger on a GXP

So, I wasn't in need of a car, but read an article and saw a Motorweek video and found the idea of the LS4 in a front driver with larger front tires and Stabilitrak to be interesting.

Just for fun, I searched and found a one owner (a lady) with 55xxx miles for 9 grand.

There were a few small issues, which were fixed to my satisfaction, so I made the deal.

Here's a few pix:

The car is totally stock, with meticulous service records. I understand a transmission cooler is a good idea, so that's on the list of things to research.

I'd also like a CAI, not sure which brand to go with, they all seem to be about the same.

Maybe headers, but that would be "some day".

I'd definitely like firmer shifts and a tune to optimize the car, which I understand is something from DiabloSport.

The stereo is fine but I really want something with Apply CarPlay, so I'm looking at that on Crutchfield to put it into my plan.

Might put red overlays on the GXP badges, they need a little something to stand out a bit.

Anyhow, it's nice to have this car- it makes the most amazing sound and the mileage is way better than I expected. Fast, affordable and just a fun car all around.

Love this GXP :)
 


Tune, disable the DOD, Cold Air Inductions Intake, X11 lower mounts, 3" catted or catless downpipe, Bypass the radiator and get a big trans cooler for it.

That's about it.

Then save for a transmission because it'll die eventually.
