: New G8 GT Owner!
SOTALE77 01-31-2010, 10:38 PM Just got back a few hours ago from picking my new/used 08 G8 GT.:)
Flew to Sacramento & drove it back to L.A.(384 miles). I never saw the car in person before the purchase, but the car looks much better in person & it drives like nothing else that I've had. This truly is a fun car to drive!
The drive took us about 5 long, but very pleasant hours. The info center said we averaged 76 mph the whole way.
I was riding a lil heavy do to my 230+ lbs. friend, 5 rims & tires, a full tank of gas & my self in the car. Even with all that weight the car felt smooth & powerful! Just pressed on the gas & I was easily doing 110mph:).
I got a compliment from a guy at the first gas station I stopped at, which was 1 mile from the previous owners house. He said "what kind of car is that?, it looks mean!" I said "pontiac G8" he said "a what!?" lol... Its too bad more people don't know about these cars.
Here's the link to pics of the car... http://www.g8board.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27672
I gotta go to sleep, I'm beat! Been up since 3AM. I'm gonna go dream about driving my G8:driving:

I'm not far from LAX, so I might see you roaming around sometime.
I did see a Liquid red G8 GT going down Imperial Hwy a few days ago. Don't really see many G8s here. Hope to see you around town.
mongosG8 02-05-2010, 10:34 PM Congrats on the purchase and welcome!
You got yourself a great car for a great price! Another Plus its modded already
Morris 02-06-2010, 01:20 AM Ahh, so you are the lucky guy who got that car! Hell of deal IMO. Looks a lot like mine. Did the drone of the Magnaflows bother you any? If so you could try some 27 to 28" J pipes and that should take care of it.
buickgn 02-06-2010, 09:35 AM hey welcome i sold my 86 gn to get into a g8 very happy i did
SOTALE77 02-06-2010, 12:17 PM Thanks for the comments!
BW G8GT: Yeah! maybe I'llsee you around. Are you going Fontana on the 28th?
MORRIS :Yes I'm the lucky guy that got that car :) I agree it was a good deal. I would have bought one & done the same mods anyway. The car really looks way better in person than in the pics. It's like brand new, not a scratch or ding on it.
The drone did'nt seem that bad to me, I guess I'm used to it.
BUICKGN: I'm going to be selling T-Type pretty soon. Know anyone interrested? It has 32,000 original miles.
I'll be changing my sig when I have more time :)

SOTALE77 02-11-2010, 10:27 PM They're having the street legal drags. Pay $20 bucks and you can drag race your car. I've pretty much taken every car I've had, ow I got to test this one.:driving:

Sounds like it should be fun. I may swing by to watch. Thanks
