Bonneville GXP V8 or V6??
On Pontiacs website it lists the GXP having the following specs:
With it's clean, sleek lines, powerful form, and enhanced supercharger, the Pontiac Bonneville G/XP show car sets higher performance and appearance expectations for a full-sized sedan. The G/XP takes the Bonneville SSEi's supercharged V6 powertrain to a new level, with a KN™ air filter system, Corsa Performance "cat-back" exhaust, and an increase boost to the supercharger. The result is an impressive increase of 30 ponies from the SSEi® application, to 270 hp in the G/XP. "Whether a modified SSEi is setting world land-speed records or the luxury Bonneville is cruising city streets, the prestige of Bonneville is in the performance," says Bob Kraut, Bonneville brand manager. "The G/XP offers the large-car luxury segment a 'serious sport' alternative with the muscle of a performance sedan and the amenities of a touring car."
