    So I found the steal of a lifetime for me. Found a 2006 GXP on CL and got it for 850. Was told it needed some work but for that price I decided to go with it. It has a rebuilt transmission with only 6000 miles on it (which I verified) and has 153k miles on it overall. Absolutely rust free underneath. So far I've replaced Hub bearings, tie rod ends, put a ZZP 2.5 exhaust on it and a new battery. It runs and drives great. This will definitely be a great summer project.

    List of things to do;

    Shift kit
    Transmission cooler
    Install cts-v brakes
    Install hid kit for retro headlights

    Just needed some suspension work from what I can tell. I had a buddy of mine look at it with me on a lift and he's amazed that I only paid what I did for it.

    Nice!
    Care to post a sound clip? I've never heard ZZP exhaust on a GXP.

    Thanks,

    It's definitely louder but my phone doesn't pick up the sound so well.

    That's what's im saying. It started up then sounded like it died. Quiet.
    I love this car for the price. Amazing
