    They can handle alot, if you treat it right.

    one wheel wonders and burnouts will destroy them faster.

    Only downer for you is that you have a GXP and mods for them are very $$$, but if you got the money then that aint a problem.

    If you are thinking about putting alot more power into the car, I would 100% recommend buying or at least look into buying a Triple Edge Performance Tranny. They make one of the best upgraded trannys for these cars.

    Well for the most part I'm looking at a diablo programmer, exhaust, and cold air..the car is pretty fast as it is...i just want to hang with z28's and rape mustangs...mabey a lil juice just to piss off some locals....nothing big...but big problem is that I still have a factory warranty..and I can't screw that off yet...I'm told the programmer can set every thing back to stock and gm wouldn't even know about it....any info on that

    If you have a history of front wheel drive issues, call Dave and order now.

    Your trans isn't going to take much abuse.

    I've never bought from Triple Edge myself, but I will in the future, since I've never heard a single negative thing about the guy, seems like he really knows his way around a transmission and everything involved.
