I really hope roger isnt getting betn out of shape from what I said... I dont know who else might have talked about a G6 GTP?
I did in another thread say that the automatic GTP is about on par with the SVT on the Highway. I stuck with my pops the whole time. From a dig was a bit different... especially considiering I wont launch hard.
Its a nice car either way, but I still dont like pontiac interiors. I think the SVT is way above it in quality.

soo to make it fair can we put a turbo on a csvt?
Yeah that's almost like trying to compare my '00 CSVT to my '05 GTO at the track - never ran either car, but I'm guessing low 15s vs high 12s. CSVT gets a few nods tho' - better feeling brakes and better seats for the long trips...and my /////Alpine system sounded better.

I was interested in trying (not necessarily buying) the GTP (Hell, I'd take a GTO if it were in Canada, but that's an aside...). But if it costs as much as a Mustang GT, I know which one I'd take.

I guess I did get a "bit" carried away, but I think in the spring I may need to go and rent a Malibu w/ the 3.5L V6(200 hp) and invite someone with a CSVT to Ubly. Kinda like "Pinks" but w/o the pinkslip  I'm sure the "slushbox" robs some power, but I can't come to grips with it robbing THAT much to be even close. I mentioned earlier in the post about the perf world passing the CSVT by, you know what, the SRT-4, ION Redline, Cobalt SS and this new G6 GTP w/ 6 speed runs the same 1/4 mile ET/MPH as a stock 87' GN, man have times changed and changed for the good

Don't know what a new 300hp Mustang GT can be bought for, but I paid $28,355.00 for my 400hp GTO

The wonders of GM, a boosted 4L and the best they can do is a mid 14 run.

Mustang (New Technology) GTO aka Camaro (Old Technology). By that, I would think and hope that they would be cheaper...

IT IS NOT BOOSTED FOLKS!
The new 3.9L V6 is a NA VVT pushrod engine producing 240-245HP/245TQ. It was designed to make a flat torque curve verses peak power & is used in several mid sized GM platforms. (mainly behind a slushbox) It has 90% of peak torque available from 1800rpm to redline. That's saying something for how it's tuned.
It's "spec'd" at roughly:
15.7 @ 95 in the 3800lb Impala (slushbox)
15.5 @ 96 in the 3600lb Malibu Maxx (slush)
15.3 @ 96 in the 3400lb Malibu (slush)
15.4 @ 95 in the 3400lb G6 (slush)
15.0 @ 97 in the 3300lb G6 (6-spd)
It's also used in many of GM's SUVs.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

GTO aka Holden Monaro
Camaro/Firebird aka dead and buried.
Also your logic is anything but. The GTO is one hell of a lot of car for under 30k. Too bad it doesn't come in sedan form or it would be a worthwhile car. It's too fat and heavy to be a good 2 door car. Then again the new Mustang is also fat & heavy as well.
They are both more grand touring coupes then muscle cars and are most DEFINITELY NOT sports cars.
