Just picked up a white '09 GT, 17K on the odometer. Awesome car! New to the G8 but not Pontiac. It's the girlfriend's daily driver (traded in her Jetta). Great info on this site. Already ordered the SC Cortex from MarylandSpeed and bumped up the gain on the sub amp. This stereo still leaves a lot to be desired tho. Will probably be focusing on stereo mods first, depending on how bad the need for speed kicks in!

Welcome to the board! The stereo upgrades were one of my first upgrades in the car, along with the cortex. Then exhaust, then MOAR!
It's fun, plenty of info on here to learn from. Looks like you're well on your way. Stay responsible with the GF's ride. Unless you can somehow buy it from her.
"Honey, you know, I think you'd be better off in a Jetta. Here, take mine. I'll drive your g8, as MEN know performance a little better. ehehehe"
Or on second thought, not. :wink2:

Kudos to MarylandSpeed.com. Ordered the Cortex Mon. night, received it Wed. in Las Vegas. Just in time for our trip to the Tom Petty show in LA. Goodbye speed limiter, hello 91 octane tune!
On a side note, just got all of the parts to start putting together the new 461" stroker motor for the '69 bird (maroon car in my sig). Wish me luck!

After the cortex tune the speed bug will get you. Something tells me the speakers will get bumped further and further down the list. Well thats what happened to me anyway...I still haven't upgraded. All go less show lol
