    People are gonna say the gxp doesnt have a big aftermarket. I would take the GXP, but if you like modding keep the gtp i guess.

    Pro:
    GXP badge
    18's
    lots of extra's
    V8 (sorta pro)
    big car

    Cons:
    Same 4t65e as all the other gp's, so its still kinda brittle, but will last if taken car of.
    same suspension and wheel bearing problems
    DOD system, that on some can cause slight oil comsumption



    Other than that, they are still good cars, I'd rock one.

    I believe the GXP wasn't made until 2006, I could be wrong, it replaced the GTP in the GP lineup. Lineup went from Base, GT1, GT2, GTP to Base, GT, GXP with the GT getting the supercharger in 06 and newer models

    FFDP pretty much hit the nail on the head. the only think i will emphisize is the weak transmission. its really my only complaint with my gxp. otherwise i love everything about it. oh and modding can get a little more expensive than gtps

    i love my gxp, but if you want a reliable fast as hell car then spend another 8 or 9 grand on it with a turbo kit and built trans. the trans is weak as ****. gm thought it was a good idea to take a trans built for the v6 and put a v8 to it with no upgrades. but again i looove my gxp.

    05 was the first year for the GXP

    sure your not spending much money, but think of the money sunk to this car, and with all the mods, the repairs on some of those mods is not cheap, like a motor or trans or turbo.

    Your better off not buying a modded car.
