SOcaliG8 04-04-2008, 08:48 PM CONGRATS!!!!!
i want the white hot but the more i see black the more i want it....
Blackdevil77 04-04-2008, 08:54 PM wow its beautiful! Congrats! Those 19" rim's look better than i thought. Really beautiful car. I'd love to hear more about it when you drive it around like how it feels, smoothness, comfort, etc. Congrats again!
'02 ws6 04-04-2008, 09:10 PM Well the only comparison we have is to a 00 Grand Am GT that clicks, rattles, squeaks, pings, etc. etc.:)
That said it rode beautifully on the way home (about 60 miles) and was as smooth as can be.
Comfort was nice, as these cars have a ton of room so nothing negative can be said about that, the seats contour nicely. I personally don't like the twisty knob you have to use to recline it, but it'll do!
Performance wise it's really strong like I said 1st, but my discrepancy would be the transmission and its "granny" shifts. But that can be tuned out from Vector MS.
All in all I love it, it's going to give my wife and I plenty of nice road trips. It's also a lot more convenient considering it's a four door compared to her old two door, and with our baby loading and unloading a car seat is so much better now!

I don't beleive there is such a thing as an ugly G8! Best lookin' car on the road. Of course, I might be somewhat biased. :p
Red888 04-04-2008, 09:42 PM Wife! She must be really hot. The G8 I mean. Looks great. Question: That pebble/pea gravel street in your pics. Are you getting a lot of road noise? Car looks great, your wife is a very lucky woman.

no not too much road noise. we only live about a 1/4 mile down the street off the hwy, w/ 4 dips in between so you can only go about 10-15 mph down it though. On the highway though, is a different story. I was actually whispering to my wife, because in my car you have to speak in almost a yell, so this is basically unchartered conversational territory for us!
888GT#31 04-05-2008, 01:14 AM Congrats! This car is gonna grow on you and you are gonna want one too! Enjoy.
Blackdevil77 04-05-2008, 06:13 AM thats incredible. I absolutely love it. It's beautiful. Would love to hear more about it down the road as you continue to drive it. Tell your wife she has one sexy car!
G8 Ray 04-05-2008, 06:43 AM I can see it now, "Honey, we need to talk, lets go for a drive".
Congrats on the ride!
'02 ws6 04-05-2008, 11:02 AM ^ ...Well I've already tried every reason under the sun today why I need to "run to town" or "run some errands and need your car", but she won't budge. I'll continue throughout the day though.
mygto 04-05-2008, 08:05 PM Congrats on the new ride.:D
4gasem 04-05-2008, 08:26 PM Have we figured out which color is the fastest?
I say black but I may be biased...:biggrin2:
Looks great! Can't wait to get mine. The more I see them the more I want to lower it an inch or so!:nuts:

The G8's not overweight. That's not fat, it's muscle!
Black rules as a G8 Color, that's what I ordered also!
haddadmotorsports 04-05-2008, 09:54 PM Congrats on the new ride man.
The black is pretty sick. Almost as sick as my red :)
Next thing you need to do is put a maggie on it.
Thanks

If you do get her to agree..... just remember to put it in "Sport" mode. Oh, and disable the traction control. :gr_devil:
DuBob 04-06-2008, 03:26 PM Nice! I replaced my wife's red 2-door Grand Am GT (1999) with a red G8 GT and we're loving it as well.
MRSCRAZY8 04-06-2008, 09:01 PM I was wondering....how does the black metallic look? Does the metallic really show? I have a black G8 GT coming in but I haven't been able to see what the black metallic looks like. Thanks!:confused:
