Are there any special functions for the added honeycombs? Vents to brakes?

The extra vents are pretty much to add more air for cooling the intercooler and intercooler piping. They are functional.

Wonder how hard it will be to get the leather seats without the red stitching, more like whats in the original Solstice. Hope it is possible...

Love just about everything about it but that little prehensile tail of a spoiler on the back. It's almost emasculating.

Buy it with the seats as shipped and certainly someone here will swap you even for a set pf plain leathers.

At least our tail is bigger than the tail on a S2k. And it is a tossup, the '97-03 Grand Prix's without spoilers have a look from the back that says "Come here!" and with the spoiler says, "This is the part of my car you will remember most!"

Is it me or does it look more boxy? Especially in the front? Did I notice the window switch moved further forward? I am still waiting on my car so I am forced to use my imagination.......and it is running wild!!

I don't see one from this end either. Maybe that is why Pontiac wouldn't open the hood to the Red GXP when it was in Detroit.

No, it's behind the black area in that pic. All the Sols have a seperator between the front grille and the actual engine. What you're seeing in that pic that's not in normal Sols is the turbo intercooler.

Ok, I am new to the Solstice GXP but after looking at the pics I was wondering where is the Boost gauge? In all the interior pics I do not see it unless it is obstructed by the steeringwheel.

Definetly a car I would love to own.

Current car 98 Firebird

Thanks for sharing the site. It's the first look I've had of the GXP. Sat in a base Sol @ Baltimore Show & was impressed; then read a short blurb in Car & Driver about the GXP. Now I've found this site & I'm getting excited about it.

I'm waiting for the GXP because I like yellow, the turbo engine is just an added benefit. Hehe.
