According to an Old Car and driver review from 2007 the car they tested weighed 3094lbs
But the car they tested had the uprated Mallet 19" Wheels, Upgraded Brakes, Chassis Brace, and does not mention if it has A/C or other options.

The car I am getting does not have the Wheel or brake upgrades, does have A/C, and does have most if not all power accessories. so I would guess at 3150 to 3200 lbs. so 400HP should be a lot of fun. At least I hope it will be a lot of fun.

My wife just roller her eyes and said she plans on making sure my life insurance is up to date from time to time! LOL!!!! (I hope)

Our 2007 GXP 5 speed turbo is awesome fun. I'd imagine an extra 100 hp would take it up quite a few notches. Good luck.

Yours must be pretty quick if it has 300HP. What mods have you done to your GXP?

I may have to check out the new M1 Track in Pontiac MI with it.

Not 100% sure all the mods are but I'm told it's akin to the GMPP Stage II mods (290 hp 330 tq?). My son is into the tuner scene (as well as his 68 vert) and he's into the EVO's, Honda SI, STI's etc. He uses flashpro, etc. I'm not really into those cars but I guess it's his generations thing. I'm happy he's wrenching and painting with me though so I don't judge his taste for Japanese HP (OK sometimes I do lol).
