Hello my name is Evan and I'm from Fullerton.

After swearing I would never purchase a black car due to all of the black vehicles I work on, I have my new black GXP. Unfortunately the paint was swirled up and scratched from the dealership washes etc. I picked up the car in Louisiana and all I could think of during the drive back to California was the swirls!!


**Disclaimer** Any pictures where the paint looks hazy or looks like holograms it is just the polish streaking as the humidity was not in my favor.

Oh, and for all new members, my avatar and title are only because I lost a bet with Leedom during the K1 racing - I promise.

I think the bet should have disallowed the posting of disclaimers :nutkick:

I really do love those cars. Swirls suck, nothing has touched my Vette but microfibers.

Yeah, pretty stout. I would imagine with intake and exhaust you'd be anywhere from 380-400rwhp :thumbs_up:

The vararam claims 35rwhp without a tune haha. Hopefully when you have your dyno day we can throw the GXP up there and see what it puts down.

4.5 0-60 and a 13.0 quarter at 109 are some nice numbers to start with too :thumbs_up:

Did a one-step polish on the exterior and took some pics enjoy! Also installed Cadillac CTS-V wheels with Michelin PS2 19x9 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear
