GXP Statistics Thread

[bracketracer]

Well folks, I have now completed my extensive research on 1/2 of all the GXPs ever produced. I wrapped up the 915th car tonight, and am taking a break to give you all this update. Here are some interesting things that I have uncovered now that I am at the half way mark. First, I now have record of 26 GXPs that are junked, totaled, or salvaged. Now remember, some of those "salvaged" cars may have already been saved from the crusher, and may still get back on the road someday. I have also discovered that at least 34 GXPs were either sold new in Canada, or have found their way north across the border. I have also now confirmed the factory original tires on 928 total GXPs. 859 of them have the QCZ-Summer Only Performance Tires (92.56%), and 69 of them have the RP2-All Season Tires (7.44%). This statistic will change dramatically now as I get the last 1/2 of the cars verified, since they really didn't start putting the RP2 tires on with any regularity until 11/17/2008. I anticipate that the QCZ tires will likely make up as much as 65% of total production, but we'll have to wait and see.

If you own a GXP and have not sent me a PM with the last 6 of your VIN, please do so! I want to make this Registry as complete as possible. Thanks for you patience and stay tuned for more GXP Info!

I would assume the PO gave you the last 6 of my cars VIN, but look me up in the Dells and we can verify!

Very Cook, great work Joe!

Wow! I had no idea that Tony was selling this great car. You got a great one there. I will note on the Registry that you are the new owner.

I have now completed my extensive research on the first 1000 of the 1829 GXPs, now only 829 to go! I felt like I was farther along until I realized that this is only 54.14% of the way done. It's scary how much paper and toner cartridges I have gone thru. I couldn't even begin to add up the hours that all of this has taken, but it's worth it! This will be nice though, because I will now have paper back-up documentation for the Excel spreadsheet that will feed the G8 GXP Registry website once I get done.

So here is what we now know. I now have record of 28 GXPs that are totaled, junk, salvage, or rebuilt titles. There is also now record of 36 GXPs that are north of the border in Canada, and don't forget the 3 that stayed in Australia. I am showing that 923 of the first 1000 GXPs had QCZ - Potenzas, and only 77 had the RP2 - RS-As. As mentioned before the percentage RP2 cars should increase as my research continues, but I'm betting on no more than 35% of production having them. Hope folks are enjoying the stats and rundown! Keep those VINs coming if you haven't posted them or PM'ed me!

Thanx Joe, so glad you took this on and have continued the quest!

Thanx Joe, so glad you took this on and have continued the quest!

I'm a "little bit" tenacious, LOL. I won't feel like the job is done until I complete all the research, and get the official G8 GXP Registry website up and running. Even then, I'll probably be keeping track behind the scenes and updating things.

Joe,
In case you haven't seen this, another one bites the dust:
