September Car and Driver - GXP in camparo
#21
Rode in my cousin'* '04 GTO. NICE ride! Putting it in gear makes the rear of the vehicle lower. The sound is fantastic! So MEATY! Yay for V8 power!
Personally, I like the Solstice and hope it does well. I'm just not sure that a manual top will appeal to very many people. We'll see. More HP is a must, as well.

one thing that nobody seems to be looking at is Reliability. How much do you want to bet the 300C is going to be a major headache and falling apart way before the GXP will even have any major problems? This is how I've seen it for a long time.. Chrysler products are flashy, good looking cars, but mechanically and reliability wise, they don't measure up. Just what I've noticed. Like our Dakota for example. It was the best damn looking small truck, but wow.. mechanically it wasn't very reliable. Transmission problems at 55,000 miles is pathetic!

Is this the same type of thing where the suspension crouches by the computer when put into drive?

The GXP may have a lower engine score because not of Peak HP, but the entire RPM output. The Northstar doesn't have much off the line, which may be part of it.
Euro car? No the 300c is american, designed here and built here. They just took a suspension design, from a brother that knows wtf it'* doing. If i had 32k would I buy a Magnum/300c or a GXP (on a deal) or a GTO?
I'd buy the 300c.
GTO if i had a garage, and a beater. Just because i'd keep it forever. The GXP is nice and all, but it'* not worth the going price. Heck i'd rather spend 8k less for the SLE, then build up the L36 inside over the GXP N*.

The 300C was a major blow.
This will be the KO punch.
