New member/car from Reynoldsburg, Oh
« on: December 14, 2011, 01:30:55 AM »
I'm from Reynoldsburg, Oh and I'm new to this form and platform of car.  I just picked this one up in PA last Thursday.  It's a 2007 black on black GXP convertible, 5-speed manual, leather seats, PW, PL, PM with a 2.0L Turbo.  These were taken after a quick wash (4 inches of snow and salt in PA).



















I have also owned an 85 Fiero SE 2M4 and an 94 Firebird.  I currently have the Solstice, 2000 Trans Am, 86 Fiero GT, 05 Crew Cab Duramax and a 99 YZF R1.

These are for the gearheads that are interested in my other cars






No I don't ride like this but you can see the GT in the background.


Feel free to ask my about any of them.  I was directed to this site by another local GXP owner.

starkmaster03, just had to ask you how many miles on that sweetheart.  It looks virgin and clean as a pen!!!  In fact it looks just as good as our S.O. 2007 early build Aggressive (red) Pontiac Solstice GXP when we took delivery!  Whoever owned it before you really took care of it!

The red car is a '0 Trans Am.  I think the one under the cover is a Fiero.  Am I right, Chad ? :)

The red one is my 2000 Trans Am which I just pulled the t-56 to replace the RAM clutch which was completely gone.  The one under the cover is my dad's it's a 73 Olds Cutlass Supreme w/ the 455CI.  He is the original owner we only 30K miles on it.  The Fiero is in the back, lol.

I wasn't warned about the pictures but I'm on a few other forms and they are kind of hard on people that neglect to post pictures on their first post.

It just flipped 35K on me so it's as low as you might think.

PS.  Just found out the multiple quote option, sorry for the repeated posts.

Yeah the 73 only comes out a few times a year to go to a few local shows.  The GF bought me the GM performance package but I'm already trying to sell it.  After a little research I found that my EFI Live doesn't support the GXP model because of the differnt PCM.  I've found that performance auto werks has a good deal on HP Tuners, sensors and custom tune.  Is there any better options out there for the long run?
