I love those wheels and the Brembo brakes! I really dig those tips too, they don't look like chrome tailpipes like mine do. Too bad you don't get the remote start with the 6-speed manual, I use mine all the time now that it's cold outside. That's definitely a badazz G8!

Gabe it isn't even close, the wheels are much different and that car doesn't have Brembo brakes.

BurninrubberGT don't count on it, the GXP will always get top dollar because they are so limited in numbers. Just add a CAI and a tune to the GT and you will have almost 400hp. Headers and a catback will get you around 425hp, for about $20,000 less!

nah, Fayetteville Arkansas. For all i know, they might have some in NC. I think the only reason they're asking so much on the ebay auction is because they hope to catch someone who think's that's the only way to get one.....patience is a virtue, and it can pay off....$43K is almost an insult to anyone who knows anything about Pontiacs or G8s for that matter. I think of them as an affordable, more performance oriented BMW look-alike, but after it hits that $40K mark I'd just assume buy a luxury vehicle and build up a GP GXP on the side. that's just my opinion, tho...

Does the G8 come with a m6 or is it only in the GXP?

Actually it's 53hp more (362 vs 415) and I can get 40-50hp with a tune/CAI/headers. The rest of the parts will bolt right on the GT, and I'm sure we'll see them on Ebay for cheap, just like the parts from the GP GXP. Considering I paid $20k for my GT, I can sink a few grand into it and keep up with a stock GXP for $15K less.

After driving the GXP today the GT is nice but nothing like the GXP.. SORRY!!

Yes its 53 more horsepower & you can do ALL the add on to make it up but you will need to add the 6 speed to it.. :grin: :grin: Then do the add-ons to the GXP.. :shock: :shock:

Its a awesome car..

I knew the GXP was coming out with a 6-speed, but my wife can't drive a stick and she does drive my car occasionally. So the GT was the only option for me, and if I can add 50hp to it I'll be even more happier with it than I am now. In the first month I've had it, I'm sooooooooooooo surprised I haven't got a ticket yet! It's much quicker than my GP was so that's all I need.
