It's fun though, is it?
I'm out enjoying my exhaust right now. Can't get enough!
Yeah, I think we have enough people with Holden's to have a separate section!
All right, I've been in this parking lot enough, time to head back out!

Got tinted today! 20% all around.
I'll get more pics when the car is clean (er).

I'll just bat my eyelids and unbutton my shirt if they do...
Oh wait, that might get me in more trouble...
Thanks! It made the car look so much better, which is in part why I wanted it a little darker, makes for a cleaner look that isn't too dark.

Pictures do not do that car justice. Seeing it in person, it is absolutely gorgeous!
Tint makes it look even better than it did.
I know I couldn't afford one now, but if they made an 09 Ignition Orange GXP I would already have one. I would have found a way

I believe you could get it in IOM. I wanted either this color, Stryker Blue or Ignition Orange. Red was common since the press cars were Liquid Red.

I've been averaging 22.x per tank. All stock, so an intake may help that some, but who knows. Theoretically it would. But either way it's not too bad, I don't notice much difference than the Bonneville cost wise.

Does the GXP require premium as well?
