the GTP has a better aftermarket support, the GXP does too just not as much.
the GTP would have the LIM gasket issue, im sure you aware of that being a GM guy.
the GXP has trans issues.

In early/mid '05, they started putting in the aluminum LIM gasket, so if that would be something to check for when looking at. And there was only a very brief Comp-G stint in '05, so make sure the VIN shows up as a Comp-G package.Originally Posted by redlinepontiac

Not looking to do any aftermarket modifications. Just mainly looking for a nice, semi-fun comfortable work commuter with a few trips in the non-snowy months.
I can always get a project vehicle for fun down the road.
The trans issue is what seems to concern me the most with the GXP. It just seems to me like the standard 4-speed trans was beefed up a bit to handle the V8 but I'm always wary of trying to upgrade something to handle something it was never designed to. Now I'm only putting about 5,000 miles annually on my own car, so any drivetrain issues would probably not show up as I'm not going to be driving the car hard or a lot.

04+ don't have the LIM issues like the 97-03s we did get the aluminum gaskets.
