um...not to sound like a smart-@$$, but I'm sure there's a reason they tell you to use Premium fuel ONLY. You just spent how much on your GXP?...i would say protect your investment and take care of the car the way they tell you to, warranty will not cover whatever messes up from running the wrong octane fuel through a high performance V8. That is driver error, not manufacturer defect. Im not trying to sound rude and you have every right to take care of your car however YOU choose to do so, just my suggestion. then again, im not sure what repurcussions may arise as a result of running regular through an engine tuned for Premium fuel, maybe nothing. OR it could all be a conspiracy between the dealerships and gas companies, haha, i wouldnt be surprised...

But I would work on widdling them down on the price of the GXP first.

There might not be as many add on options to the GXP currently, except for the turbo and muffler packages, but the GXP really packs a good punch with the V8 it has. You lose the HP with the Comp G, but gain a bit more stability in the car and you can tweek the engine a bit more than the GXP's. Both are going to have run Premium Gas so that really does not factor to much into the equation here.

I guess though like you said, it comes down to budget and which you can fit in the best. If the GXP and the Comp G are at different dealers, I would say to the one with the GXP you found one at another dealership with say a couple thousand more miles and their and they want only 18,500 for it. And see if they bite. If they dont, start to walk out. I am sure they will try and reel you back in

Good luck either way you go.

X2 on what was said here...... I am a little more bias though, I would say CompG.

All depends if you think you're going to want to mod it later. There aren't many mods for the GXP, and with the large aftermarket for the 3800, you can mod a CompG to be faster and quicker than the GXP.

I decided on the GXP because I like the front fascia on the GXP much more than the one on the other trim levels, and because I prefer the growl and rumble of a V8 over the whine of a supercharger (even though supercharger whine does kick ass).

Look at it this way; you either end up with a screaming banshee or a roaring beast. Either way, you can't go wrong.

Just listen to your heart AND your wallet.
