DAMN on the good financing deal.
Time for folks to go out and buy a G8 GXP. That is absolutely the best bang for the buck in the entire performance car world.

Plus, the officials numbers are out- only 1829 ever made. If you can still find a stick- GET IT!
I'll post some pics today. Gotta get a wash first.

Probably... if I didn't live on a peninsula, which only has one road in and out, I would take off the plate. Unfortunately, 7 out of 10 times I drive down the road, there is a cop sitting there. Just not worth it IMO

nice, post pics when its out of the body shop. I like white on the T-Type.... been trying to convince my coworker to get one, he always talks about turbo Regals and watches videos at work.

Your dad has class. If it's a Limited, then he has a pretty rare car. Besides my dad's, I've only seen a few other Limited's with the blackout package.

Check out this clip from Livernois. They also tuned my car after the Corsa and the Roto-fab. I'm pushing 415 at the wheels at this point. It's a blast! Maybe a Maggie is next

Not mine, but this has been my dream to build for about 15 years now:
I was a hardcore Camaro fan in my high school years, but I have since expanded my love of other makes and brands. And yes, I'm well aware that Mustangs and F-Bods aren't musclecars.
I still hope to build that one day. Same color scheme (Hugger Orange, Tuxedo Black Hockeystick stripes) and all. Even bought the repro owners manual and air cleaner decals as a prep. Never got further than that, though.

It's a handheld... Basically, I read the ECM and send it to Livernois and they tune it based on my mods and climate conditions. If I ever add anything new, they are just a short email away. They have dyno-tuned many GXP's and their work is A+!

If I lived in a region that did not snow, I'd love to have a G8 GT......although the wifey thinks I'm more of a BMW 545i/550i type of person.

I like the G8 much more than my GTO. It just feels better built and the transmission is much better IMO. I've never really lived in the snow or ice so I dunno about that but I'd be a bit scarred lol

I wish Honda would do something like this.
There's a handheld device from SCT with a tranny tune for the CTS-V as well. Theoretically, it adds about 30-50 whp, but the main benefit is crisper tranny shifts. I'm just gun-shy about mods because GM has ways of telling if you altered the ECU programming, even if you changed it back....and thus voiding your drivetrain warranty.
I don't know why I'm so scared, I modded my RL far more than a minor tranny tune as I did intake/exhaust/suspension/wheels.
