    Um the motor and trans is all American, plus the GXP uses Brembo brakes

    and just becasue it came from Australia doesn't mean there's not any American parts.
    The GTO front calipers are the same as C6 calipers.

    and judging by he pics and specs of the stock G8 calipers. The calipers might be close to the same as the Grand Prix GXP, but of course will need the Grand Prix brackets
    98 GTP-Mods? Yeah, lots of them
    2009 HEMI RAM- Mods are in the works!!

    Indeed. That's why they're such nicer cars than anything Pontiac had built in a few decades!
