It's good to hear that they liked it. Bad press is too easy to come by.

I found it kind of funny that there's an MX-5 commercial before the video

Ok, I don't get it. In the video they describe the yellow GXP as a prototype package with parts from GMPP. So, what's the deal with the shot of "SS Supercharged".

I had a chance to look at it again, and I haven't the FOGGIEST idea what's up with the "SS Supercharged" label.

We need to get more info on this GMPP parts package.
Is it possible they have added a supercharger in addition to the turbo?.

I understand there are neither a SC or TC available for the 2.4 l motor.

Somebody is foolin' with us and sneaked a shot of a Cobalt in there. Only a Chevy can be "SS".

I didn't see how the yellow background behind the "SS Supercharged" badging or whatever could have fit or come from the paint scheme of the yellow GXP. Things dont fit or add up. Just another GMPP mirage no doubt. Thought I was dreamin.

Good luck as the top was a prototype at the time. One has come out but doesnt look like the movie top. I have had over a year to look up details on the movie car and found it to be almost impossible to build it to match unless u have a big pocket of money. Which i do and still havent been able to get it complete.
