Alright guys I'm getting woried here.
I've only seen 3 G8's so far and one of them is my own.
There are more cars in L.A. than there are in most countries.

Thanks

I saw a grey one in Burbank and someone test driving a red one in Van Nuys... they are pretty rare though. Personally i like rare cars... means you can give a fellow G8 Driver a good thumbs up when you see them :)

One thing i find interesting is that when i looked at the inventory for the 08 G8s California doesn't have many cars left fully loaded... but if you look up Chicago or Atlanta they have plenty of them.

Once my 09 ships we can add one to the road :)

Mike,
Don't worry they will start to show up!! I am on vacation just south of San Fran. and i have yet to see one on the road. Did a drive by a Pontiac dealership in Watsonville and got the sales group to stand up and stare. I might have time to stop at your place on the way back to Arizona at the end of the week.

Do you tune G8s and if so with what? I plan on paying your shop a visit when I pick up my G8 in 2wks or so.

I'm located in oxnard and might pay Borla a visit also since they are only 10mins away. :)

Can you pm me prices for the UDP, roto fab intake with install and a dyno tune?

Has anyone run their G8 at irwindale yet? What were your times?

It was a lonesome six months plus, before I got next to another GTO heading in the same direction [thought I was holdin' off all those Mustangs by myself] ... Be Patient .. I've seen two or three G8's on the road so far here in V.Co. .. they'll show up .. :D

I'm driving an '08, magnetic gray metallic GT that I purchased, late June. I love the car.

Since picking up the car I've seen a whitehot base G8, ignition orange GT and my twin, a magnetic gray metallic GT roaming around my neighborhood.

My family, friends and co-workers love the car. They exclaim "it looks like a BMW", or "it an Acura". I simply respond "it looks like a Pontiac G8 GT".

Well, I did it. The dealer wrestled my GTO out of my hands, I traded it in for a 2009 G8 GT on the last day of the Employee Discount for Everyone sale. It's a Pacific Slate Metallic with the works except sunroof, which I didn't want. It's the perfect one I was looking for. I really love the color and everything else about it so far. Here's a couple of pics.

Did you get yours from Jack Harrison Pontiac? I looked there at the end of December but the salesman said he didn't have any new ones out, so he showed me a used 08 white one. I wasn't ready to buy without more research and checked the carfax on it. Found out it was a rental and lost interest.
Decided after that I was going to make the dealers compete for my business. I emailed every SoCal Pontiac dealer letting them know exactly what I was looking for and asked what there rock bottom price was (also let them know I was emailing the others so they knew they were competing).
I ended up getting the exact car I wanted (color, options, etc) at the best offered price, only difference was I had to drive from the IB area to Poway to get it.
Im sure I will see you cruising around town someday! :)

I have only seen 3 in the Mira Mesa area. A dark gray, a white one and a black one with flat black colored stripes on it (looked sharp) but I think it was a V6. =(

hey kbuckert are you going to be there at their facility during the weekend? If so are you allowed to take people with you? i would be interested in meeting you there and seeing what they do...I'm beginning schooling for mechanical engineering so this type of stuff interests me.


I am taking it up on Sunday afternoon, but I may pick it up on next Friday afternoon & ask for a tour...I just graduated 1yr ago with a ME degree...and was in charge of our Formula SAE Race Team so I def have some roots in the racing aspect...

Yeah, still don't see a lot out here in North County either. I think I've seen one in Oceanside.

I think people are still weary about the G8 - I have been crusing the streets and nobody creeps up.

There was a s2k on the freeway (youngster) it looked like he was gonna step up but nah he didnt. Its all good.

Hey, welcome. There are two of us who work in Mission Viejo. If you work in the area, maybe the three of us can get together for lunch or something.

Great. Steve is literally 2 miles from my office here in MV. Maybe we can drive up and have lunch at The Hat or maybe the Wahoo's Fish Taco at the Spectrum. Lots of parking there.

Thanks I dont even know what to ask. I do know I want the GXP auto I guess I'm more intrested in interior space and trunk space. This would be for my wife cuz I have my own toy. But she is looking for a 4 door wit lots of power and I'm tired of seeing the Skittle Nation on 24's (Daytona Chargers) all around where I live....LOL

Any majore issues that I have to be aware of when looking at one.

If I do get one I'm not touching the motor at all.Cali smog laws suck. I'm having issues wit my current ride as is....LOL The only thing I mod out would be the suspenions wit coilovers and subframs and mufflers.

My G8 Gt is primarily my wifes ride but I did do the flow master exhaust and some aftermarket wheels. I don't know if the added 8K is worth the difference between the GT and the GXP. Plus since its for your wife the gas miledge is better with the GT and it will run on regular gas. Plus you don't have to pay the gas gusler tax on the GT. Things to think about. The GT is still quite fast too.

Sounds good. I'm actually driving my wife's car for a while, but I'm planning on driving the G8 this Friday. I'll PM the OC guys to see if they're up for lunch at the Spectrum or maybe Lucille's in Lake Forest on Friday.

Yep, well, I was driving my car daily until last week. I'm currently driving my wife's car for a while, but I'm planning on taking the G8 to work on Friday.

I work in Mission Viejo, near Steve. There's also lineman57 who works in Lake Forest. I'll PM the guys to see if they're interested in lunch somewhere in the area this Friday.

Might not be you I have a black G8 Gt sport package tinted windows too. Except I replaced the factory wheels with some 5 spoke chrome wheels.

I did see a black Gt about a month ago on Alton Pkwy going over ythe 405 toward the spectrum. It had yellow dealer paper plates. Was that yours? Looked just like mine except I got rid of the factory 19's. Also put a magnaflow axle back system on it and tinted the windows. Would be cool to all get together.
