G8

Post your pics of your non-Bonneville, and If you have video footage, we want to see it. Videos must be hosted on external web space and hotlinked to PontiacBonnevilleClub.com. Also discuss mechanical problems regarding your non-bonneville (this is not another lounge, but posts don't count, random car vids not of your cars should be in the lounge)

Oh yeah, I'm serious. I rarely go into the far end of the boost gauge when I'm driving. I drive at about 65-70 MPH and rarely exceed that.

In town, I sure can't use all the 210 HP because of idiot college students that think they can cross the streets wherever they want.

Now, if we lived near an autobahn or high-speed areas such as Texas, then I would 100% agree with you.

Also looks like the fenders been replaced, its a lighter shade then the rest of the car..
I think it's the same as the hood, the lines just hurt the looks.

The bumper cover looks slightly darker however...

on my computer EVERY panel touching the fender looks darker, not just the bumper.

The turbo was very muffled so I doubt it would have served much purpose...
