        Good thing I got a 2007 GTP, I don't have any of the problems that you guys have!! Plenty of power, six controllable speeds, coupe so its good looking. The problems I have are lack of traction off the line, but that cant really be helped too much due to it being FWD, and it could have better brakes, but so could most cars.

          60-0 in 135 feet is among the worst out there.

          My cheap 'made-in-china' brake last just as long as the stock GM brakes and they cost 1/3 the price.

            Re: what do you hate most about your 6?

            I overall enjoyed my GTP as a car.

            I hated though how stiff my seats where, always bothered me on long trips. But I really liked how they had GTP in the seats.

            Thing that always bothered me was how the 2006 GTPs got the shaft with the 3900 and 4 speed auto. The 2007s got the 3.6L and 6 speed. After driving both my 3900 in my G6 and the 3.6L in my Wife's Torrent GXP, its night and day. I really like the 3.6L plus don't have any of the problems the 3900 has. If my GTP came with the 3.6L, there is no doubt I would still have that car.

              The Monsoon sound system sucks balls, glad I got a sub in there now. To change a head light bulb, jesus christ damn head lights assembly. The short drainage tubes for the sun roof.

                You've got to be joking... The Monsoon system in my GXP sounds absolutely tits! Of course there's room for teeny improvements here or there, but it's definitely the best stock system I've ever heard.

                  this is about it. other then that its a good car. car would be amazing if it was RWD. 6speed manual and bitchen projectors. the coupe looks like it should have been rwd. it has a fatass like one, haha. if your mirrors are set up correctly you have very little blind spots.

                    The stock system is heavily enhanced with sound equalization circuitry to make it sound better and mask its deficiencies.

                    A decent after-market system may not sound as good to an average ear but will sound much more natural and realistic.

                      An aftermarket system would still sound good and I don't doubt that it'd sound better than the Monsoon system to the trained ear, but it doesn't "suck balls" as squirrelishere said.

                        This is really minor but I'm still wondering why they didn't decide to embroider "GXP" on the seats until 09.5.

                          I would have to say the pillars for sure, fact thats its FWD, and possibly the lack of aftermarket for the LZ4, i would love to make a sleeper out of it but there just isn't much to do!

                            The stock G6 monsoon system is better than most cars I have herd, but it isn't anything like my old 1996 camaro's stock bose system. That was defiantly the best sounding stock system. Most people that herd it thought I had aftermarket subs! The G6's kind of makes a weird noise in the back speakers when really loud bassy music is playing.

                              well yah Bose make great speakers. Monsoon is quality speakers but nothing compared to Bose. maybe the systems in a coupe and sedan are slightly different. might sound better in a coupe over sedan do to body shape.

                                Hi Monsoon! Yeah I have it. Again, to me it sucks balls. Had a Z before that also had Monsoon. Bypassed the Monsoon system on my Z and sounded ever so slightly degraded. Hell, my Cavalier sounded like my G6 Monsoon system. But alas, that's why we always upgrade right?
