Default GXP test mule in oz

I know it doesn't look much different to a regular G8GT , but lets see

LS3 engine with 6sp and 3.7 rear = check !

HSV style bolstered seats = check !

Brembo Brakes = Check !

20" HSV rims = check ! ( maybe not that design though )

did i miss anything ? i think i can see the lower front the foglights have that seperation from the rest of the lower grill which indicated yes a GXP.

4.6 0-60 ?

Those are 19" wheels and tires rather than the HSV 20" rims. That does line up with the GXP spec which has been for 19" setup.

Wow...I wish the pics were higher quality so I could zoom in to some of the surrounding street signs and figure out where in Melbourne the lucky test driver lives!

they look a little more bolstered on the sides... and the head rest does not move either.
