Event Highlights

Autocross
Boxing
Car Show
Chrysler / G.A.M.E. / Pedders Hot Shoe Shoot Out
Drag Strip
Fun Runs on the Track for Special Children
Music
Road Course

I promised to deliver a MINIMUM of 50 GTOs that will run faster on all three tracks. We hope the LA, Vegas and Phoenix Goat Herds will be in full force and push that number to over 100. Kenyatta Goins -- G.A.M.E. -- will display a number of high profile client cars. Some of his work were featured in Chryler's Super Bowl ads this year. He may give us a run for our money on the show side. We should own the track side.
You can register by sending a PM or Email to JusticeDeb or ar@peddersusa.com.

A portion of the event proceeds goes to charity. A number of Pedders Dealers will be on hand to answer your question and turn a few wrenches as required for your track activities. If you have never drag raced -- come on out, we will have instructors for your first pass. If you have never autocrossed before -- do it her with an instructor. If you have never run a road course -- we'll take you out for a modest hot-lap -- if you don't soil yourself or the car on lap one, we'll do real lap on number two.
If the attendance is strong, you can plan on more events like this across the country. We want to make this work -- but it only works with your support!

FREE Pedders GSR Dampers and SR Coils to the First G8 to Register & Run the Autocross!!!

Sweet, and they even offer the driver mod! This looks like a great event, anyone in the area should be sure to make it out to this one.

I'm sure it will be a great event as always Pete! I'm sure my G8 won't be in by this time anyway and even if it was, Alex at Borla is taking it for some R&D :)

Looks like fun. I would more than likely go to an event closer to me. That is if you can find a road course near me. :gr_jest: All of the ones I know of are at least 3 hours away. :cursin:

Hey Pete, couple of questions? Are you in Arizona and if so, how did your dealer know which date your G8 was due to arrive?

I will probably be at that event but for the drag racing part in the B4C.:gears:

700 of the 2700 U.S dealers received a specific allocation of the first round of deliveries. Some received more than others depending on what they ordered for the GTO. Unlike the past, GM is ordering the same way as Toyota. They check off pre-ordered/built cars from an online program. Once they "tag" the cars they want they are supposed to come up on their inventory order program but that is not happening. Matter of fact, a random loaded G8 GT showed up on the truck at my clients today while we were discussing this new GM order program.

On another note, I am able to get you any G8 they have in stock or are receiving within the next month at sticker price. None of this $2k-$5k over sticker like some guys are paying. The only way to pay this is if you contact me for the deal.

I can tell you my dealer is getting in a loaded GT in white (but it's mine), grey, and 2 in black within the next few weeks. He also has 4 fully loaded V6's on the way as well.

I hope this helps ;)

Mine is silver, black, GT, Sport Package & sunroof... the dealer already has an invoice and serial number, with a GM transport code of 4300 or something like that where 5600 is delivered to the dealer. I'll take delivery at Brian Harris Pontiac Buick GMC Pedders in Slidell Louisiana.

60% residual - are they nuts? So what would that lease payment be?

That is encouraging, because there are no sunroofs in the 888s, so maybe the 2nd batch is enroute, finally.

I held out for my color combo and sunroof instead of a 888, just a couple of weeks extra over a 888 car.....

Sounds like a great event. My G8 is in Sacramento. I'm trying to talk myself into going. Thanks for all the promos.

Several of the cars on the water now do have sunroofs.

Thought you would like to know that we will have a set of four tires to the Autocross Winner at Desert Madness. Hopefully ike Haddad will have his G8 at the event. He has some commitments for engine product development that might get in the way...

Desert Madness Autocross Champion gets a FREE SET of TIRES!

Yeah Mike and I both do and the companies are up here by me. I did just talk to a friend who is close w/ Mike's guys and evidently they are going through some internal issues right now.
