The 3900 is no great shakes....240hp?...the GP GTP was making that power years ago. 18 mpg fuel economy in the city? The GP GTP does better than that and has more power. Even the GTO matches that in the city.

The one thing that I'm impressed about is the price. Very competitive.

...patiently awaiting the technical service bulletins... :D
How can you compare the GP and the G6? The GP is a class above the G6. As for the 3900, it makes 90% of its torque about 1800 RPM, and has a flat torque curve. If you really want to get technical compare the LX9 (3900) with the L32 (3800 II N/A) not the L67 (3800 II S/C), L32 makes 200HP. Not to mention the fact that GM has publicly admitted the LX9 was under rated. As for fuel Eco, my last tank was 22MPG, and it gets something stupid on the highway like 37MPG due to the DOD. The 3900 is a much more refined engine than the L32, and mated up to the F40 6 speed makes it that much better. And it only needing regular makes it that much better.

I could have got a Grand Prix for about the same price, but what am I going to get 4 doors? and and crap automatic? No thanks, the GP does nothing for me.


2 bad points of the car is it being about 350LBS more than that Grand Am, and the Goodyear Eagle LS2's for feet.

But the car is good for a 14.7-14.6 and 95, Much better than that.

And BTW the GP GTP does not exsist anymore.

I am kinda of indifferent to them. They all seem to look alike, when the Grand Am GT and SE had a very noticable difference in looks. But the inside looks really nice, in any event, nice pick, im sure its pretty quick.

the only bad thing about the G6, is at the moment not alot of rim companies are making rims in the right bolt pattern to fit the G6

Well I agree it does look a lot like a solara, but for some reason i looks much sharper to me, I cant stand the Solara, but the suttle differences in the G6 make it all the better. I just think it looks more aggressive from the rear, and more laid back from the front than the GA
