I don't know where you got your GC weight figure but it sounds far too high!
I have an '04 GC with the HO V8 and have tested it several times with a
G-Tech Pro performance meter. It breaks seven seconds from 0-60
consistently. The GC seems to have a very high RPM stall torque converter
and, as a result, really flies off the line. I'm getting faster times from
my '04 that the 5.7 liter 98 that I used to have.
