whats going on guys i am new to the board and to the g8 thing altogether. i wilol be purchasing a g8-gxp 09 next week and have already gone to see the car several times. looks great will be all black and is still in stock form. i have searched the forum for suggestion on parts upgrades and i had all ready planned to do the normal things full exhaust and hheaders from kooks, air intake with k&N filter, computer chip mod,.... and thats where i got stomped at. i know these cars (http://www.g8forum.com/forums/#) prettyu much come loaded with all u need but is there anything ii am missing? I am looking for ways to make the car lighter starting with the rims and tires, thats pretty much all i could come up with i know the exhaust will drop a few pounds as well but thats all i have got for now so any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated and its going to be fun having another toy to play around with. also looking to do sam enigine work if not under warrenty anymore when i purchase it. upgraded cam, ported and polished as well, just wondering what kind of hp and torq gain can i expect from all of this work.
