Got A New Car

[STINSAN3]

Well, since I had a truck already. I wanted to get a car and was thinking, what does people have, that most people doesn't have around here. I see tons & tons of Mustangs. Most over-rated car in America. Camaros, challengers, civics. etc. So I was thinking, I always liked the appearance of the G8's. Then, it hit me, Boom! I want a G8!! and was looking around for 2 weeks and couldn't find a G8 GT anywhere. So I finally found one that was under 100 miles away from my area, went test drove it & fell in LOVE with it!! Plus with that V8, I can add big HP too it!

 

I noticed that the car came with a CAI already had on it & has somewhat of a decent sounding exhaust on it. Some small things that are broke in on the inside, where you tilt your seats back or forward. Only thing that is wrong on the inside. Exterior, the car is in great condition, except someone didn't clean the exhaust tips all that much. Other than that, I can't complain too much on the car.

 

Feels like it has a tune on it, but its probably just me, it cuts off at 140, is that stock for? I'm guessing some of the G8 owners, will know?

Here are some pics of the car after I washed it, sorry about cell phone quality pics.

Looks good, you will surprise lots of people with that haha

Nice!

 

It looks like a Roto Fab intake on there. The wheels are aftermarket, and if you can hear the exhaust at all, the exhaust is modified as well. The stock exhaust is super quiet on the GTs. I'm actually not sure on the stock speed limited. I think it's at 137...but not sure. A good tune will really wake up the car, though.

I got one about a month ago, It's a really fun car

[STINSAN3]

Thanks for the compliments guys! It has 19" TSW rims on it and Fuzion ZRi tires on it, they any good? Whats a better exhaust system I can get for it that adds power, and are those CAI any good?

No idea about performance bits...just saying I like your new car man.

 

Is it a stick or a slush box?

[Wingnut]

Well they didn't know WTF they were talking about. Both the GTO and the G8 have parts galore available for them because their sister cars in Australia, the UK, the UAE, and other places sold like gangbusters.

Nobody has been able to solve the exhaust problems. People have been buying 1k exhaust setups and pulling them off after 2 weeks. The best system so far is the Solo exhaust with the J bend pipes in it. It most likely isn't tuned because the cut out at 138ish stock.

Auto, with sport shift. & thanks man.

You just had to show that video didn't ya? lol

 

 

My plans are on the back are gonna take the Pontiac letters and the dealers emblem off. Leave the G8 GT on there. Plus, I'm gonna get some subs for it, 2 12's or 1 15? I'm feeling the 15. Needs new tires on it by Summer probably. Gonna get Goodyear or Nitto's. Anyone else have an opinion of what else I should do to it?

Get a good tune, and Michelin pilots are a really good tire too.

The A6 is better for performance....I do however like banging gears...even if I am a couple tenths slower than the guy in the auto.

 

LS1tech.com is a good site for these cars. Lots of good knowledge there.
