Yes, all stock. K&N filters, HE and Johnson pump upgrade. With 20's and 285's in the rear. It may have been the 350hp version as again, I pulled hard on him from the line and kept pull'n.

Decent aussie car loved by many over here. There are some pretty serious mods available for these including twin turbo kits and s/charging. I in fact got handed my **** by a twin turbo sleeper a few weeks ago. There is even one getting around in Sydney making 1000rwhp....

Coalman, if you were driving up US-19 in USC, that guy driving the GXP was me! If so, nice run! If not, ignore this reply!
FWIW, my car only has 500 miles on it, and I was short shifting... I do plan on some mods very soon, after the first oil change. It would be great if we had someplace other than the streets to race our cars, here in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. Somewhere we could hold a 'grudge night', or a 'run-what-you-brung' race...
I absolutely love all AMG vehicles, and think very highly of the skilled engineers and technicians who design and build them. Glad you had the sense to know when to back off as well...
With about $2000 in mods, on top of the $38k I paid for the car (1 of only 78 in my color that will be made for 2009), I'd like to think I have a relative performance bargain compared to your car... ;-)
Plus, nobody knows what the G8 GXP is...until it's too late! A real sleeper!
Hope to see ya again!
