I have a serious problem with Pontiac's...

Currently trying to spruce the hacked to hell paint on the Coupe to prepare it for re-sale. It was always a re-sale project to begin with. Here's a 50/50ish shot to give you an idea what we've been messing with. The car certainly has been abused through and through.

This was merely with M105 and M205, there is still some marring, but that standard I hold myself to... I have to let go, this car is being cleaned up just to look more attractive for resale.





















Meanwhile I reveal to you a new brand of "Decepticon" contrary to the stereotypical dark colors... The new addition that had my last thread stirring a bit as to the beast in the garage.










Yep, I'm wearing a Mustang hoodie. It's warm thank you.

I've always wanted this car straight from the assembly line, it wasn't fueled by any member or anyone. It was a car that I wanted, could never afford, and the opportunity never arose. Briefly window-shopping brought a G8 to surface that was everything I wanted, minus a sunroof. Then this one was found and it all went downhill in there (good way).

My Sedan is nearly paid off which frees up $181 a month. I've put myself through the ringer as to whether or not I could support this car AND the sedan. When it became obvious I could swing it, the pieces started to be moved.

2009 G8 GT - Stryker Blue 1 of 1,111. Sport/Premium Package with the sunroof. Incredible car, haven't regretted a cent spent.

Very nice.

I test drive 2004 Comp G few weeks ago. I'm not impressed with this. Maybe time to test drive G8? Nah I gotta save money. No more car payment AGAIN.

All sho no go...

Everytime I see a thread like this it makes me wonder why I'm looking at GP's; then I remember I'm broke.

Thanks guys ... Still a bit unreal that I've got it, but certainly worth all the headache!



I'm very impressed with these cars, I drove 3+ hours home with it and loved every minute of it. Of course I haven't driven it since... (not my choice)

I'm not too crazy about a car payment for the next 5 years, but the payments are low enough that I can do double when I can afford it.

Have you made a list of mods you want yet? One thing I learned from moding the GP is to plan the mods to not waste money.

Hey, hey... No one swayed my decision to get a G8. I always wanted one, just could never afford it

PLUS, I still have my GP (and will continue to so)



From a Marine down in North Carolina. Car was registered in Michigan (hence the tags)

Concept dart, tails, exhaust, headers, CAI... that's about it for right now.

Listen I know you are going to do whatever you want for the car, But can I just tell you this.. Don't cut any corners, Save up and put the Corsa exhaust on it with the Kooks headers.. It's a shit load of money but you wont be disappointed. As for the intake, Well I guess it all depends on what you are looking for. I like the Roto-fab system a lot! The quality of the system is next to none, And it looks great under the hood.

VCM Intake looks the best hands down- looks stock too.
