Thread: 3.8 vs. 5.3 (Rep)

I like both cars, cant we all get along?? lol as i said b4 i could have gotten an sti for SEVERAL thousands less....but i didnt because i saw my GXP and loved it.... aftermarket may be limited buuut it leaves me to go to some kick ass custom shops here in scottsdale az and get some performance

I like the GXP...and the GTP...it is just this guy up here bashing everyone that doesn't own a GXP...which is the majority of the site...

believe me man...i understand...With my cobalt ss/sc i went on my friends srt4 forum he belonged to and the flaming was endless....as soon as i said i stomped on a stage 1 mopar i got more hate mail then oj has in his life span. hahaha I love the GTP...too bad the dealership i went through that took my cobalt when i was upside down by around 5k and i paid NOTHING when i turned her in and got 2k for buying this car i mite have shopped more. None the less i am an american car supporter and surprisingly my asian lady loves arrowhead as well...most of them i meet like nissan lol.

OH, I never doubted the thing...just stock GXP vs. a VERY few bolt-ons on a GTP and it'll be close...it is just I don't want to take the bashing from some guy who joins just to bash another guy ya know? Just shows the immaturity of it all IMO. I loved the interior/braking and exhaust note of the GXP...and I haven't seen the 11.5 but I'm sure it has, it just looked like the earlier ones weren't designed too well and they had LOTS of traction issues...

yes, i hear ya man. what i have planned for my car will be awesome. I have been talking with some custom shops here in AZ and all is possible with enough $ thrown at it. Saving is my problem lol... I am NOT here to bash any cars im a car nut just like the rest of u. hitting very low 12's and with enough luck "HOPEFULLY" hitting any 11's will make me shart a brick, this is my overall goal while still being able to go to the grocery store and smoke the turd in a german import next to me

Having something others don't isn't always a good thing.

I am going to lock this thread seeing that some people just can't play nice in a thread without crapping all over it. SJR GXP, everyone is right here, you started this whole snowball effect with your rude and abrasive comments that lead to comments from others on here.

I will ask you to please show some consideration, and I am sure consideration will be shown to you as well.

Thank you.
