Keep your GTPs people, they're getting rare by day.

[Coupe_GTP]

Just another reason why the GTP's are the best lol we will be rarer and in effect be more valuable yay.

[GTPGuy82]

Nice, I feel like putting my GTP badge back on

[PrimeGTP]

I called this a while ago, say goodbye to the days of the GTP, people. There probably will never be another one.

On the plus side, us 07 GTP owners are now the only year that the GTP trim had the GXP engine.

Anyone notice that it looks like the panoramic roof is gone too?? I wonder if they are ditching it on the G6 to sell more Auras.

Makes my car pretty rare, which I'm happy about. 3.6L GTP w/ pano roof FTW!

[Kman]

Crimson Red and 'Summer Only Performance Tires' are history. My car's market value just went up. Oh wait,I have a 6MT too!

My car is more rare than yours(3.9L / 6MT).

I knew that Midnight Blue was coming when they made the interior kit last year in that color instead of the Electric Blue.



Here is an 05 GTO in Midnight Blue....

[CentralG6Coupe]

No more panoramic sunroof...??? What a shame

[PrimeGTP]

Midnight blue actually looks pretty good.

[Lampoon]

Looks like that White Diamond color is the same as
what is currently on the 2006 Cadillac CTS.

[LoJac963]

I need to trade in for a GTP god damnit!!!

[PrimeGTP]

This makes me want to scrape the pennies together for a turbo ASAP now. Can't wait for the crowd of chronic Grand Am/Cavalier-ricing kids to get their hands on these Street GXPs and get their ass smoked by an "obsolete" GTP. And then realize that I stole their motor/tranny too.

[ToniCipriani]

Yeah, pathetic eh? GM managed to screw up the car that pretty much brought them up from dead.

Speaking of which... I wonder if I can do a radio swap. I want that aux-in!

[PrimeGTP]

Can't seem to make up their mind about something as simple as bodyside molding either

First it was all the cars had it, then it was just sedans, now its none of them.

OH YEAH!!!
