Well I don't want this to come off bragging as it is ONLY a Pontiac but I have been studying this one for several months and decided to pull the trigger...:eusa_dance:

It's the new Pontiac G8 GT and this thing is getting rave reviews from everyone! :banana:

362BHP at the crank and 385Lbft. 0-60 5.3 with a 13.8 in the quarter. 6.0 liter L76 with a manumatic 6 speed with rev matching down shifts. It weighs in at 3995 stock which I should be able to drop by 10-15 pounds... Big whoop right?

I plan on a Cold air intake, Cat back exhaust, and a remap... Should be good for about 400BHP at the crank...

just dont screw it up by playing with the injection and changing pipes :biglaugh::biglaugh:
 
It's a DOD motor so it goes into V4 mode with light throttle inputs and on the highway...

17/24 :punk:
 
My first car was a '65 GTO.

I finally gave in. After 21 years of driving and never owning a Japanese car, I bought an '07 STi last August. It is a very fun car..and very quick. Sticks like glue, launches like a steam catapult, runs low 13's/high 12's depending on weather and is dependable as a Japanese car can be.

That Poncho looks like fun!

Yeah but I have to buy American for work... My bro has a 2006 legacy GT M/T with after market up and down pipes which we installed and a stage 2 map... It goes like stink too! :thumbs up:
 
I too have been seriously considering selling my old M3 and getting one of those. Have a test drive scheduled for Thursday this week. I hope it lives up to the hype 'cause it is going to have to be a pretty impressive test drive to make me give up my beloved M3.

Have you driven one yet 4gasem? If so can you give us your impression.

Nope! I ordered it without ever setting foot in one or seeing one...

Go to www.G8board.com I am a Beamer fan all the way! My dad has three. '08 335I convertible, '08 X5 and a 2006 M5... Brilliant cars! :thumbs up: The 335I is HIGHLY recommended by me. Perfect for everyday driving with just over 300hp on tap it isn't a slouch either... :whistlin:

The G8 is NO BMW but it is still a nice car... I live vicariously through pops on the Beamer thing... Hell I named my Golden retriever Beamer... He's AKC so his full name is Sir Beamer Michael Warehiem.

Get it? BMW... lol I'm sick... Very sick...

I only reflashed to Stage 1, since I wasn't ready to do a downpipe. The car is quick enough as is...but I have been thinking about going to Stage II as of late. The map is just sitting on my Cobb AP.......

That's what he has... Cobb Stage 2 is OK on your's as you don't have the cat in the up pipe like his DID...:whistlin:

It's amazing the difference...
 
No, I do not have the Cat in the uppipe. I am more concerned about warranty issues. However, both local dealers are pretty mod friendly. Car only has 9800 miles on it. Of course, the stock tune was so bad that I flashed it within two weeks of buying it.

That was just a left over joke from last nights chat sesssion.

But if you're willing to play, let the game begin.

So if my Isuzu is obsolete....then what is the vmax??
Last time I checked, they quit making them in 07....
we all still love them don't we.

But a lash out like that, coming from a guy that owns a Studebaker???...:rofl_200::rofl_200::rofl_200:

Just kidding................for real. Muah, ha, ha, ha!

First, Looks sweet 4G. Second, just sold my 92 5.0 last saturday cause it won't pass CA emissions and it only gets 13 miles to the gallon on a non pedal to the medal tank.
Now for the "Gay Car" part. Looking at the Mini Cooper S w/John Cooper Works upgrade (08 has a new turbo kit that produces a Constant 205hp from 1600-5500RPMs at the tire. I think the 06 still has the supercharger which aint bad either. If I were to get one it would be as below but Astro Black and without any of the gay mirrors or other british stuff.
I like small dogs too. What!!?:double angry bird:
