Sorry I wasn't able to get these posted last night - got home really late! In case anybody cares, these were shot with a Canon EOS 30D at ISO 800 with a 17-40L lens - both with and without flash. Some are better than others, but I put them all out there regardless... Enjoy:)

Nice pictures...thanks!!

My question for any close observers.....

Do the scoop grills show empty space behind or are they stuck to sheet metal?? I am hoping that the vents can be used to cool the engine compartment, like my GTO. Same question for the side fender vents.

I hate vents that do nothing. (Mustang:barf: )

I am going to have to stop looking at pictures of the G8. The more I see, the more I want. I NEED to see one i person, and I MUST have one in my garage NOW!

Does anyone who has seen the G8 up close know if these hood scoops are functional?



Same question for the side fender vents.


The things on the front fenders are functional heat extractors.

Thanks. At least you answered half of my question. Someone will have to observe the hood up for part 2

I'm going back to the show next Sunday... I'll try and get more detailed pictures of the scoops (and see if I can get them to raise the hood).

gtb75, can you also try to grab some shots of the back seat area? That would be awesome! :)

Will do... Realized that I didn't get any passenger side photos (because the doors were open). Hopefully the people at the display will be cool.

They got it on the turntable, eh?? Opening the hood might get you bounced out. :eek:

Maybe just by close obervation you can see empty space behind the grill

Thanx!!!

They will not open the trunk or hood.
