No reply,  O.K. when they said they was going to build it. It looks great, I was hoping for more standard HP & ftq. Didn't get it, Love the removable center roof  until you had to leave it at home & spend another $1100 for clappable center roof. Just in case you run into bad weather  If you can't take it with you, like Firebird T-tops. They should of made it a hard top. I might of bought it. GM is coming up with great ideas, but seems not to follow though. I been driving sense 1985. I only own 2 non-GM cars. A 1989 Dodge Lancer (what I could afford at the time) & my 2005 Subaru Legacy GT. GM don't build a car that can do everything, the GT can. Over the yrs. I own 13 GM vehicles

I recently read an article in cardomain.com about a comparison between the new GXP Coupe, and the 09 Nissan 370z. For the first time in years the Z car was faster then the GXP. Seems as though Nissan decided to beef up it's Z car this year. I wonder if it has to do with the 350z getting beat by the 07 GXP during Motor Trends comparison tests. The fact that the Nissan has got 50% more pistons, and about the same percentage of more displacement means that our little 2.0 lt Ecotec can still give the big boyz fits, and cause whole car companies to rethink and retool.
