"It was going to be tough to make a better car than the Pontiac GTO, but the folks from GM Motorsports and Quarter-Max Chassis have done it."

This statement comes from Pete Berner, hot off his first time out with the new Quarter-Max.com Pontiac GXP. The team tested last week at South Georgia Motorsports Park in Valdosta, Georgia. The new Pontiac GXP proved itself a Championship worthy car in its maiden voyage. Berner was able to test two different motors, one of which was the same Jon Kaase engine that put him in a closely contested battle for the '07 Pro Stock Championship. Berner ran a best elapsed time of 6.30 at 223.21 mph during the test session. He is thrilled with the results.

"We're really impressed with the new GXP. GM Motorsports has produced a great body for Pro Stock racing. Many thanks go to Fred Simmonds and all the folks at GM Motorsports, as well as RJ Race Cars for building the best race car out there. My GTO was such a great car I didn't think another car could beat it, but Rick Jones and the staff at RJ Race Cars have out-done themselves on this GXP."

Berner recently took delivery of a new Jon Kaase Racing Engine that promises to be even better than the one tested in Valdosta. He plans to test the Kaase power plant in the coming weeks.
