Sorry to hear about this. I'm still grateful that you were willing to let AGP build the G8 kit on your car.I had no idea you had a forged stroker built for it. That's a 750+ rwhp combo with the right fuel system. If it were me I'd buy a cheap daily driver and keep it.

That is A LOT of performance for the $ + Sleeper status. Seriously, they have brand new 2016 Scion iM's sitting on the lot by me for 15k... Pick up a daily and keep it!

I haven't been pursuing this, but the car is still for sale.

So what is it that you want to trade for? What is it that you would purchase if you had a cash sale? IDK maybe if you had a smaller stall it would have less "race car" feel and you would like it better for your daily. That seems like too big of a stall for all that power. Nothing wrong with race car for the daily IMO. I don't understand you thinking "wasting it's life away", hell man you use it everyday. That's living the good life I would say.

I'm not interested in trades anymore, but can't change the posting title. The stall is great for this car. It does not feel "race car", and is an easy daily driver. The decision has been made, and I will be selling the car.

I don't have the time to do the work myself right now, and it doesn't make sense to pay someone to de-mod, as I'd be throwing money down the drain. I will hold onto it until I find the right buyer.

As well you should. Knowing that this car was worked on by AGP themselves makes this car special. If I had more space, I'd be considering this. Someone considering a G8, or someone who already owns one and is about to start a big build would be foolish not to buy this car and save themselves LOTS of time AND money.

Bump for fall. Replaced the a/c compressor this summer due to a leaking seal.
