    I have a 04' gtp comp g with 145k on it. I was thinking about trading it in on a 06' gxp that has 85k. I'm wondering if it is worth doing. Also are the gxps that much faster than my gtp now they both stock other than a k&n cai.

    They are about the same. I would not buy a gxp. GTP gets way better mileage.

    So keep the car and get a Triple Edge Transmission. Way better than a GXP. A lot cheaper too.

    worse fuel mileage, parts are more expensive, more of a PITA to work on, etc. etc. You can go to ANY junkyard and find some L36/L67 parts, good luck with a LS

    but yeah, the only thing u can do with a GXP is probably turbo it. i havn't actually seen anyone put a supercharger on a GXP.

    That is because you don't supercharge a LS4. No one has ever done it because its stupid.

    Twin Turbo - Got to see this one in person...I was there the day of filming: YouTube - Worlds Fastest Pontiac G8 Twin Turbo by House of Boost

    Supercharged: YouTube - Supercharged G8 GT

    Very possible.
