Default anyone ran a solstice gxp?

My girlfriends parents just got one and the gxp comes with 260 hp. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with them. If not I'll let everyone know cause he's been talkin all kinds of crazy sh*t about my car being slow.. we'll see!

oooooo thats a tough one. I'd say you should take him but, you don't really have that much RWHP more then him and he is obviously waaaaaaay lighter. How much do those things weigh anyways???

wow I would've thought they'd weigh less. I don't think the auto should matter because in this day and age I'm betting its at least a 5 speed auto probably more. I didn't know it was turbo. I thought that just the Saturn Sky Redline were the only ones doing that but, I guess Pontiac had to do it too.

I thought the GXP's were low 14 second cars. I think you'll beat him.
