I definitely agree.
The thicker more rigid 00 wheel is much better feeling than the thinner limper 94 wheel. :wink:

Nice addition Peter, hopefully the weather will hold out on Sunday and I can check it out!

The hood vents are functional, but used for venting only, it does not do anything for bringing in outside air. Pete's G8 already has an aftermarket intake on it...so shouldn't be a problem with getting extra air to breathe.

don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking Turbos, It just that I want the SC of the G8.. its got the same new lobe design as the New Vette's are getting, and pumps out enough power to make me smile all day long :twisted:
