Congrates on the GXP.
I'm hoping to get one sometime next Spring. I'm also going to modify mine hopefully down into the high 12s (1/4 mile) category. I love the looks of the GXP but its just not fast enough for me (and you seem to have similar feelings).

Your SRT-4 was definately faster (overall). Despite what some might think, the SRT-4 has more top end power than a GXP. Both cars run very similar 1/4 mile times, but the SRT-4 has higher trap speeds. It really starts to move as it gets going down the track. The GXP on the other hand starts to lose steam and slow down at higher speeds.
Both cars raced from an 60 mph punch, the SRT-4 should walk away from a GXP.

But that's about where the comparison should ends. Just take one look at your GXP and the SRT-4 should be a distant memory. The Sostice GXP is such a beautiful car and just blows the SRT-4 away in that category.
If looks could kill, the GXP is the definate winner.

So congrates on the GXP and get to modding. Hopefully with the continued success of the Solstice even more modification packages will become available.
