GP 40 Rocket

Yesterday I drove a GP 40, it was very, very fast. I own a 2004 MC 40 (Monte Carlo Limited Edition). The GP 40 was so much faster, but the dealer does not want to trade for any reasonable numbers.

Does anyone have any thoughts on bringing my R53s up to the same performance level as the GP 40 ?? ie how much will it cost and who would be the best person to take it to have the modifications done??

Thanks in advance for comments.

No idea what a "GP40" is....

But I assume you are just referring to a JCW GP...in which case, a pulley, exhaust, and tune will get you there. But it still won't be a GP at heart.
