    Well folks, I owe you all a big apology! I had fallen behind in my volunteer duties for updating this thread, and the Registry itself. I have now corrected that fault, and sent everyone PMs with the info I have on their cars. Once again, for those who have been patiently waiting, THANK YOU AND I'M SORRY (OK I deserved that!). I can officially state that I now have owners documented for 504 total GXPs, which is 27.56% of all of them ever built! That means only 45 more cars and we break the 30% barrier! I also have location state/province documented for 672 total GXPs 36.74% of all of them ever built! That means only 60 more cars and we break the 40% barrier! I also wanted to let everyone know that I probably need my head examined (those of you who have met or know me KNOW I NEED MY HEAD EXAMINED!), but I am adding 1 more parameter to the Registry. I have the means to verify one other factor in GXP production that I never intended to track. That is tires. GXPs all came with either "RP2 - All Season Blackwall tires" (i.e. Goodyear RS-As) or "QCZ - Summer Only Perfromance Blackwall tires" (i.e. Bridgestone Potenzas). I am slowly going thru & verifying this for every GXP ever built. Once I have all of them done, I will update the statistics thread giving every car a little more specifics. Part of me is doing all of this work for selfish reasons. 1 of 10 total configured like mine just isn't rare enough for me , LOL!

    If you own a GXP and haven't sent me a PM with the last 6 of your VIN please do so. The more I get, the more complete the Registry becomes. Your private information will NOT be shared with the General Public. Once I publish the Registry, it will only list the location state of each car, and the car details. Please help me get over the next numerical barriers!

    Thank You!

    I wanted to post some curious information that I have now discovered as I do more in depth research on G8 GXP Build Histories. First, out of the first 71 cars that I have fully authenticated, only 2 were equipped with code RP2 All Season Blackwall Tires (Goodyear RS-As). All the rest were code QCZ Summer Only Performance Blackwall Tires (Bridgestone Potenzas). I wonder if this trend will continue as I verify more cars? Second, I discovered an unusual situation with 3 cars. Under Model designation, I usually see "2EP69-2009 G8 GXP." I have now found 3 of the first 71 that instead state "2EP69-2009 VE - Commodore." At first I thought I made a mistake in entering the VIN, but I didn't. As I looked carefully under option codes, they include the following: EF7-Country United States of America, NU1-Emission System California, LE, OAP-Identification Pilot (Opel), V9R-Merchandised Pkg Pontiac G8 GXP, XQ3-Equipment Pontiac. Then when I checked to see where the vehicle was Invoiced & Shipped to, it states GM Holden. This makes me think that these 3 cars never left Australia. The vehicles in question are as follows: 9L300052, 9L300058, & 9L300065. If anyone can provide any input to help with this mystery, I would appreciate it. More to come as I do more research from home!

    All new owners have been updated. Please also check out that GXP Statistics Thread that now includes the production breakdown all the way down to which tire it came with! If you have a G8 GXP and haven't dropped me a PM yet with the last part of your VIN, please do so. I have much more info than I used to for your car!
