I test drove one. It was very nice. Fast for a big car too! I like the silver color too.
Yes, as Ronbuick, how about yourself??
85GN, what has your buddy done to his to make it run like that, all I've done
so far is install a OPG CAI from down under, nice kit for the money and a oil catch can from Jamesbiz, similar to a condsensator but made from billet alum.

I test drove one, about as quick as my bolt on 96 impala. Not as huge, but big enough to take four full grown men out golfing, with room for bags in back! Not enough to convince me to sell the impala, but the GXP... I'm going to really have trouble not buying one of those!
how about this G8:

I seen the video of that one, and it also has some very interesting turbos, they are all self contained needing no oil supply or return lines or water lines, something like that for our cars would be great or at least I was thinking that,
what are your guys thoughts on those turbos??

I did a search on them an didn't find much info. If they work right they could be an interesting replacement on a Buick.
ronbuick go to youtube and look up TuneTimePerformance, the owner of that place is a good buddy of mine...i beleive at one time he was the fastest and was also featured in GMHTP when it was going low 12's but not sure if anyone has dipped into the 10's last i heard no one has yet. i beleive he has a magna charger, headers, convertor, tires and a killer tune but thats all i can think of of the top of my head i know when it was bone stock and with just a tune and 100 shot he was going low 12's when it only had about 200miles on the odometer

What kind of mileage are you getting?
I have not really checked the mileage, but by doing the math in my tiny brain win I fill up and reset the trip anywhere from 19-23, not bad really for a big sedan with a V-8, and I really think a torque converter will really wake the car
up, but I will keep it like it is for what it is, a powerful road car, IMHO.

I've been averaging probably around 20 or so, like mentioned above. It could be 18 or it could be 24 (I have actually seen 24 in mine). I think it's pretty impressive mileage, especially the way it's been driven the whole time I've had it. Stop and go traffic through Dallas, and then get to open it up every now and then. This car will get up and go for sure!
