    It's Genuine GM built Quality?
    Agreed. The interior on the 04+ (besides the seats) is the cheapest lowest quality interior ever.

    Well, I have concluded that based on the significant amount of owners that have experienced engine and trans failures, I'm best off leaving my 79K mile GTP stock as far as engine and trans upgrades,except for the car getting the GM recall oil leak fixed. I'll make it look excellent inside and out, with new wheels, tires, brakes, carpet, floor mats, like new reconditioned radio, all rot fixed with new welded in metal, all body imperfections fixed, full base coat/clear coat paint job, and probably all new exterior corner lights, stock style head lights, and new stock style tail lights.
    Not worth it to me to press my luck with engine output performance upgrades only to worry if everytime I want to race it, it could end up like so many here. They are just not made strong enough to handle any significant performance upgrade in the drive train.

    Your better off replacing those leaky valve cover gaskets yourself. Pontiac only replaces the front one
