05 bonneville gxp

Post by rockwell29 »

Well im new to this site and these cars the last bonneville I had I was in high school that was the late 90s and the car was an 87 bonneville. Any way its the family car the wife wanted to get rid of the Trailblazer SS, But i didnt want to but I have a 03 mustang gt and a 96 thunderbird lx so I quickly lost that argument. I t seems to be a pretty cool forum I hope to learn alot from it.

Welcome!!!

Heckuva downgrade from a TB SS to a GXP, LOL. About 125 HP to be exact. Oh well, as long as the missus is happy, that's more important, right? :bhuh:

Hope we've been able to help you with your issues, and any that will come in the future.

lol trust me I know and I didnt want to see it go at all. Started with a 06gto then the baby was on the way and she wanted more room and to get rid ofthe gto so i went and found something with 4 doors and that same ls2 but after 2 years she got tired of the city gas mileage and wanted something different so i went to diff lots and finally found a pearl bonne gxp and told her to jump on that. So from a ls2 goat to the tb ss and now the gxp you right we're going down on the speed factor but i gotta keep her smiling. And thanks for the welcome!

Looks like the TB SS gets around 14 in the city. Sadly the GXP won't get much better than that. The L36/L67 get much better than that.
