    The Camaro's suspension was done by the same team that designed the new Caddy CTS-V. Anyone familiar with that car's handling characteristics (despite its size and weight) know that they know what they're doing. The G8's suspension was designed by Holden 3-4 years ago. It's behind the times. Also the Camaro SS laps the 'bring way faster than the G8 GXP can, so that's a testament to it's power and handling ability.

    For power, the G8 GXP makes 402HP and the Camaro SS makes 424HP. The G8 weighs in just over 4000lbs, while the Camaro SS can be had with 3870lbs.

    Camaro.

    But, it's up to you. Decide what you want. Do you want a performance sedan, or a sports car?

    If your looking for a sports car to be had for a decent price and have some fun with it too, get a C5 Vette w/ heads, cam, gears, stall, and slicks, it will be a very fun ride. I always keep my eye open for one of them, I will have one someday. I'd even consider a C4 body, although i'd have to swap in an LSX series motor in it....

    I'd probably upgrade from a base Grand Prix to a GT (s/c) or a GXP. Love the Grand Prix and don't really care for ultimate speed.

    Are you looking for the fastest car for the money?

    '07 Grand Prix, very peppy for base 200 HP, very nice ride!

    You either love it or hate it. You're one of the few who hate it.

    Going by what I have read the Camaro SS numbers are showing better then the G8 GXP. Not only on the estimated 1/4 time. But price rage to! You can pick up the SS for about 2-3K LESS then the G8 GXP. And I got my info from edmunds.com
