this is just a base line run. The car needs new injectors. This thing is going to be over 300whp. That thing is a little MONSTER now

The gxp doesnt have that much power. 209WHP 260flywheel.

for the extra money. You can just get a N/A 2.4L solstice and turbo it. And make over 300whp.
SO the N/A is making almost 100WHP more then the gxp for pretty much the same amount of coin.

Yes, but the GXP has a turob already so it wont take much to get it at over 300whp + better suspension, brakes, etc.
Its a better car and worth the 6k more to me.

everything is the same from a N/A to the turbo model. The only thing different is the motor. brakes are the same and suspension is the same. You have the choice of ZOK or non ZOK.

Z0K is standard on GXP and it is not exactly the same, as there more to it that is standard to it.

here is a link to the 209whp GXP, it was an auto. so it did lose out abit. I remember reading somewhere that the 5spd one should make close to 220whp. But i have never heard of 70whp from a cat back and intake. That is almost un heard of.

Also when I bought the solstice. There was no such thing as a GXP. I had a down payment on it before I even got to sit in one. They made the GXP about 1 year later and let it out on the market. So all of us N/A guys had no idea this was going to come out. Also what I have on there now is much better then the ZOK. 32 dampering system full coil over.

I would mind a gxp and putting a bigger turbo in it. and bigger pipes.

Very nice. I would also take the 2.4 over the 2.0 any day.

Well accoding to the dyno charts from solo there is a 30 hp gain from the bew 3 in exhaust. Your right about the 70 hp. It will prob be around more liek 40. Good work on it. Are you going to nats in june. As you know there is a limited number of aftermarket parts for us gxpers.

I dont think I am going to NATS. I cant get the time off work. Also it is a bit far for me to go. Almost 20+ hr drive. Money is a small factor to. I dont got any of that left over.I am still paying this car off plus all the mods I did to it.
