So I needed new daily **paint job update (pages 7,8)**
 
so after shopping for the long time for the car that i really like and fits my personal preferences (but not all) i found a great deal that i just couldnt pass on:tongue:

Picked up today 2009.5 Pontiac G8 GT Panther Black Metallic with sport package and moonroof black/red interior.

What can i say car is mint in inside and mechanicly perfect with service records and still under warranty. outside isnt perfect but im gonna take care of that. for know i only have cell phone pics so i dont get banned. thanks for watching and share with me your thoughts !:thumbsup:

I kept wondering why he calls everyone "Liz Lemon"

juniorbean 07-19-2013 08:27 AM

Sweet. Enjoy! I've always liked the G8...

Legend2TL 07-19-2013 09:07 AM

Congrats, a friend has a GXP. Really nice handling, brakes and power. Also easy to work on.

NSXNEXT 07-19-2013 09:18 AM

Very nice. Always loved the G8.
Gotta love the NY bumper. :)

I completely agree. If I got one with the optional 19s the first thing I would have done is paint the center caps silver to match the wheels.

neuronbob 07-19-2013 12:01 PM

It's not a GXP, but a G8 GT is good enough and fast enough. It also sounds pretty damned good, and I'm sure the price for a GT is juuuuust right nowadays.

Congrats on the new ride. Enjoy that torque, it is addicting.....

RPhilMan1 07-19-2013 12:35 PM

Very nice, can't wait to see more pictures!

And to add to Bob there are tons of performance mods for that engine.

HeartTLs 07-19-2013 01:04 PM

Congrats! Now invite me over for some burned kielbasa and a lap around the block :wish:

03silvertypeS 07-19-2013 04:02 PM

Congrats! You definitely get a lot of bang for your buck with the G8, best of luck with it! :thumbsup:

Very nice. One of the few GM vehicles I would have ever considered purchasing.

Of course, they go on and cancel it..

I wish they still made them.

StreetKA 07-20-2013 07:44 AM

so after one day of driving my thoughts are...
its very comfortable...
its got power
10mpg city

i will definitely mod it.

painting the rims anthracite probably with plastidip

i was thinking about debadge or plastidip it black (i hate chrome)

i never notice that center cap lol but it will be fixed.


i have some noise coming from the back under hard acceleration after the stop and making a turn... it sounds like wheel hop but i cant feel it

StreetKA 07-20-2013 09:35 AM
