Back in Black!!! 2009.1 G8 GT (4/28 Moar Pics; pg.5)

[00Beast]

Well, I replaced my Bonne today. She had 203k, and was getting to the point where it wasn't worth carrying on. She will be missed, if nothing for almost 5 years of dedicated service.

But, all good things must come to an end, and often better things replace them. So, I introduce you to:






[/

Panther Black Metallic 2009.1 G8 GT. It has the sport and premium packages, 2 tone red and black interior, missing only a sunroof (will NOT be missed). 6.0L, 6 speed auto, 19" sport wheels. Has pretty decent Michelin Pilot Sport A/S's on it, and came with 19" blizzak's, but I think I'm going to sell them and buy 17" wheels that fit, to use my General snows, mostly to keep the stock wheels nice. It had a few mods, including a Rotofab intake and Pypes Axleback. 70k miles. I'm very excited, and a full whoreage will be posted soon, once I get it detailed and find a nice spot.

Bout time you spilled the beans.

[J Wikoff]

Approved.

[00Beast]

I've literally had it 6 hours Lane, LOL.

Thanks John. You, among others, poisoned me to it. It's the first car in "my" name, and I couldn't have picked a better one for it to be.

[CMNTMXR57]

I knew you got it, so I was just waiting for it to be posted here, then I saw the post on CHC...

I'm just impatient sometimes.

It's a good, solid car too. The Aussies know how to screw a car together.

[GoldenBullet]

You're a lucky SOB Ed.

[00Beast]

Haha Lane.

I know Matt. I figure I had better get it now, before everything else starts adding up...

[GotBonneBWitMe]

Yesss. You are winning right now along with everyone else that has a G8. I love those cars. Congrats on your new pick up!

[Jfridge92]

Congrats Ed, it looks like a sick car! Now jump on the bandwagon so you can influence the other G8 owners on here - and by that I mean cam it, stall it, tune it, and make it have moar fast!

[SSEiMan01]

I knew before Lane knew.


Can't wait to see what you do with it!

[nishnobguad]

So... G8 must be the next step huh? My first Pontiac was a Grand Am in high school, then I grew up and got a Grand Prix. Now I'm grown and got a Bonneville, well I'm on my 4th Bonneville! Looks Like I gotta get a G8 to keep up with the big boys! All the bonneville guys are gonna be G8 guys now! haha
Car looks great though can't wait to see more!

[CMNTMXR57]

Pfftt... I knew when he signed the papers. Call it intuition. :p

I think a blown stroker motor would be best. You know you want it.

So, do the G8 owners on here outnumber the Bonneville owners yet?

[00Beast]

Hahaha, this one's staying *mostly* stock until I graduate. Then we'll see about making a hot-rod.

[94SilverSSEi]

Looks great Ed!

Still waiting for my IOM G8 to come along...

[SSEiMan01]

Hahaha, this one's staying *mostly* stock until I graduate. Then we'll see about making a hot-rod.

Right..... Remember when I said that too?

[CMNTMXR57]

Yea, lies! Our seeds have been planted in your mind and there is no point in looking back. Resistance is futile.

[00Beast]

I only have till May to resist. Tint and a DoD Delete tune are high on my list right now. And speakers. And headers. And a rear camera. And a cam....

[CMNTMXR57]

Uh huh...

[SSEiMan01]

Wow you'll be done before me. But then again I don't feel like college is ever going to end.

You're going to love Modding this car. They respond so well to things.

[repinS]

Welcome to the fold

I guess I'm the only guy that likes DOD! How does the Pypes exhaust sound? Drone?
