Yep! A 5.3 liter V-8. Still front wheel drive, which is one of it's points against it. Torque steer to the right and left when under heavy accelleration. Anyone got one? I'd like to know more about it. cheers

It's called the GXP. There's a forum section specifically for it right above the Regal forum here. There are already topics there that you can read.

Your nuts to shell out the cash for the '05 GXP with the V8. By the time you pay for it, the package costs just a few thousand less than a GTO which has more HP and rwd. kooky

how many horses is it pushing to the wheels?
We can get the same thing with some mods. So why pay all that money for nothing....

the 2006 monte carlo SS and impala SS are also going to have the 5.3L engine. I guess those will be FWD too then?

You'll be seeing RWD after the new Camaro and US GTO make their debut, so it's both an if and when speculation at this point.
