dont sell it with mods, you'll get **** for it. The dealer that looked at my vibe when it was modded wanted to give me **** for it. i just parted it out and lost only a little money on each mod.

Jeff - WTF did you **** someone off down there? Or were they from Racine and heard you making fun of them?

how is a 2 seat/roadster a chick car??? what about the sky then?? same car (almost)

although the g8 is a nice car.. its not the style/type of car that i want at the moment... maybe when i'm married, have 4 kids and still want a fun driver (although, the way its going... that might not be far off )

You going to rock that solstice in the winter? Have fun with that

Sweet cars, but for that much I'm not sure. If I was spending that much I'd look at a used G35 coupe. You can get a low mileage G car for the same if not less than a comparable solstice gxp. Take a test drive in the G and you'll laugh at the interior of the solstice.

^ hey tard bomb... both cars have the same engine. both come with the same numbers stock off the floor.

and the gxp already has performance mods out for it. going to be atleast 6 months to a year before that happens with the tc balt.

and ian... i wasn't planning on rocking the gxp in the winter, even i'm not that dumb


i was doing a quick search... i found a 07 gxp for 21.5. not bad.

yeah but you cant fit 8 kids in a ugly 2 door. if you get that 2 door get the sky it looks so much better OR get the gxp race kit from that one solstice at CED meet, that was cool looking. I thought u were just looking for a DD car not a summer only. Oh and stage kits for the solstice/sky are said to work on the TC balt just fine.

Hoffa, there's a 2006 silver SS/SC for sale in town w/17K for $16900 - not G85 though

you should buy it so I don't have someone in town with the exact same freaking car as me...

If you do get rid of yours, I know I kid in town that'll buy your gunmetals - he's got the 17" chromies...

call jeff he prolly has his number.

ok here we go, pay off the balt, turbo it and use that as the summer car. then get a winter beater. that financially is the best route. otherwise sell the balt, get the solstice at some crazy good deal and then a winter beater....but you'll have to make sure the GF has a big ass car to haul the kiddies in.

she does

financially, it doesn't really matter what route i go. get 8-10 for the balt, use that to pay off current loan... tack on remaining part of that loan to the loan for gxp... sitting roughly around 23-24k.

take out loan for hahn turbo kit for 2.4, plus supporting mods, plus install, 6g's. looking at 19k on my current loan (plus the potential for problems)

500 for winter beater either way. coming out 4-5grand behind for a gxp isn't to bad of a deal i think.

gxp denotes a 2.0 lnf turbo.

the regular solstice comes with the le5

and yes huge starcraft fan im replaying the original and brood war right now to get the story back in my head.
