The only one's I know of so far is me and Toby in Gonzales (Vhato). Any other LA guys here?

We need to get together one day at No Problem Raceway and park the rides together for a photo opp. :-)

Yo Cajun. Shreveport/Bossier here. Got the only GT in town as far as I know. Dealers here supposably are only going to get 12 total (base model and GT including mine) for the year... Don't know how true that is but I've already got mine so don't really care. :cool:

That's nearly a 5 hour drive for me :eek2: I'm down if we get something a little more central. This isn't my state, I'm originally from south Texas so yall would have to see if that's feasible. I understand if I'm the only northern LA guy but still, 5 hour drive??? I might have to hang out with the DFW guys... :dunno:

I'm in Kenner. No G8 for me, yet, although I've been working closely with Crown Pontiac in Metairie. I will get one eventually, although I don't know when. If you know anybody who wants to buy an '06 Mazda6 V6 with less than 30k miles, that will sure speed up the process!

Got my black G8 GT with everything except the sport package, didnt feel like waiting 2 months for one to come in with that on it. I'm in Baton Rouge and loving the car and the looks I get in it!

As soon as graduation is done next week and I start working again I'll start a thread on here of the audio/computer(nav, bluetooth, etc)/tint I plan to do to it. Just need to save up some money for all that for a couple paychecks lol.

I tried posting up on LS2GTO.com on the thread about the show but couldn't logged in yet. We'll have to get something together again soon. I'm ready to see what I can get this thing to run in the 1/4mi showroom stock.

I know No Problem Raceway is a bit of a drive for you, but they have drag racing every Friday night. Perhaps we can schedule a Friday for the So. LA Gators (G8ors!) to meet up.

Haha, yeah that would help. I've been having some headaches with a "finicky" unlock button on my keyfob so I would probably stand there pushing the button for a minute until I went up and looked in the window... :banghead:

I'm glad you like it, I've been working all weekend so I haven't had a chance to do anything :whine: (Happy Memorial Day to me...:us_flag:), I'll probably go for drive tonight to chill out though. Hope to see you around town...

I always check the Automotive section in Friday's Times-Picayune. There's always something going on. This Friday (6/20) is Midnight Madness at No Problem Raceway. I'm thinking of going and making a few passes now that she's broken in. Bunch of GTO guys are going, too.

Black on black with the Premium and Sport packages and at a good price. Very pleased to see that the G8 absolutely lives up to all the hype!

Picked mine up in November. Mods are on the way. Although it's fun, it just isn't quite fast enough (like it ever will be!)
ProCharger HO System, JBA LT's, Modified Magnaflow Catback (for JBA's), and an APS supplied tune to match.... Should be OK for a daily driver!

Newbie from Addis. Not a G8 owner...yet. Seriously looking. Anyone local willing to take me for a test run? Left dealership unsatisfied and unsure. Leaning towards 04-07 CTS-V, but exterior styling of G8 is much more to my liking. Plus it appears with a cai and some tuning, performance will be comparable. Let me know if you're willing to help me expand my debt. In the meantime, I'm putting up wife's '06 Fusion SE I4 w/leather, extended warranty, 30k miles, if anyone is looking.

I'm going to do a tune and intake before LT's but I still wouldn't mind checking out the car, and based on your sig it looks like you are local. Did you get the exhaust work done on the Westbank by any chance? A few people over there said they had done a similar set up on a G8.

Cool, no I didn't get the notice, might be in the mail today, when is the show? I'll go if I don't have anything else going on. Maybe there will more G8's and some of us with mods since they were so new for the last show. Has it been a year already???

I know, I can't believe it. Mine will be a year old at the end of this month. And I've got over 25,000 miles! Anyway, the show is Saturday, May 16th.

Glad to see I'm not the only one around here to put 20,000+ in the first year, I'm sure you'll agree its been fun. I still didn't get anything about the show but I'll mark my calander. I may have my dad's 35th Anniv Camaro SS there too.

I just wanted to shout out that I'm a native of Shreveport, LA. Had my G8 GT for a couple of months now and love it. Anyone know of any local shops that could install headers (for reasonable price) for future reference? Also, Brad I was thinking of doing the same X-pipe set up you have removing the two small resonators and that big ole can in the middle. Is that what you did, and if so does it make the gurgle(popcorn) noise after you let off the gas that other setups make? Hope that made sense!

Hey, it's good to have another ArkLaTex G8 on here. I've seen another PBM driving around south Bossier on Barksdale Blvd, was that you? I'm not a native, I work on the base, but I've been here about 7 years. Do you go to the track at all? I've been trying to make it over to Monroe since Red River Raceway was closed but I keep running into conflicts at work. OTOH, I hear that RRR has finally been bought and should be reopening by June so I may just wait til then to get my 1/4 mile fix.

I'm in the Shreveport vicinity most of the time but who knows it could have been me! I've also seen a PBM V6 in Shreveport when I go to work early in the morning. No I haven't taken mine to the track. I usually try to stay "fairly" easy going on my engine but you know you just have to feel all 361 horses sometimes! :burnout:

I got mine 3 weeks ago and today I won 3rd place for "1980 or later/Stock" category in a car show at Zoar Church in Central, LA.
A lot of the people didn't even know what it was.
There was about 100 cars total.
