    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.
