I see everyone point, the G8 is hooked up with 127k on the motor. Kooks long tubes with corsa cat back, k&n intake, and dod delete and tuned. The 04 is completely bone stock and from the pics the interior looks like 9/10 and the the black exterior the same 9/10 with 97k on the motor. The 05 is 8/10 interior and 9/10 and is silver, this one has kooks headers and full cat back with wicked flow exhaust no cats,drop on h&r springs, and new nt555, the chassis has 190k with a rebuilt motor with 35k on the rebuild, the diff has been changed to next gen I believe but the tags are due in November.

There's definitely something to be said for a car with less wear on it. Those are things that aren't easily replaced.
However, with that mileage and being bone stock, do expect to be replacing a lot of bushings and mounts. My advice is to get the full creative steel bundle and do it all at once. It'll be a big project, but worth getting it all over with. That way you don't come to despise the car for having to always be replacing something like I have done a little at a time. It wears on you.

Thanks guys! I'm pretty excited about the car, with a family and all I couldn't get a Vette but this pretty damn close to it haha! Gonna do a tune up and start looking into a stronger diff and start to mod from their. But I really need to get these windows tinted and some LED's and hid's for this beauty!

Got a few things done last night, went ahead and changed the oil and did the rear breaks( new rotors and pads). This wknd will be doing front breaks and flushing out the old break fluid and I plan on doing plugs and if I have the time drain the coolant. Any recommendations on front pads?
