Was I washed up when I guessed a 6.0 second 0-60 time or what? If the GXP has 260 HP, this is a HUGE amount of power in a 2900 lb car. Power to weight is 11.15 pounds/HP.

The GXP would have a superior power to weight ratio than a Ford Mustang GT. The power-to-weight is right there with a Boxster S, Nissan 350Z, Mitsubishi Evo X and Subaru WRX STi.

By contrast, the S2000 has a power to weight ratio of 11.88 pounds/horse.

So, do you think all the boy racers will be selling their SRT-4's for stripped GXPs?

Ladies and gentlemen, this is serious sports car. Less light weight British roadster and more Shelby Cobra's baby bro'.
