| Well got insured on our GP for the weekend for causeway coast show. And I am so impressed. The car far exceeds my expectations. Braking, cornering, gripping, acceleration smoothness of it all to, and the crackling of the exhaust. Makes my cooper S seem poor. And the number of people looking at it was crazy. Is it just me or does the lack of weight loss on the Gp seem to be down to the fact that it has alot of additional strengthening built in around the rear struts, the rear brace and the boot lid hinges? And the rear suspension changes seem to have had nothing but a positive affect on the car.   |

| Tapping away salocin!!!, this car does not need the aftermarket stereo i put in, the sound of the pops from the exhaust is enough!! And the whine from the supercharger goes mental at 4500 rpm really screams!  |

| I haven't driven a GP but I followed one.  Here is a video of us going down a back road in California. I would say that they must be fun to drive. http://youtube.com/watch?v=CzuKOiCmsSE |
