Pontiac G8 2008-2010 - new G8 GT owner

picking up a 2009 G8 GT stryker blue on Saturday its 100% stock

what should i do to it first? i dont want to go crazy in this car i was thinking CAI (suggestions please on brands i know nothing about G8 stuff)
and a tune

also if anyone has some pics of aftermarket wheels on this color car PLEASE PLEASE post them cus the factory wheels got to go:barf:

i am thinking about these wheels

congrats. I just picked my 09 Panther Black GT Monday. I think I am going with axle back exhaust, intake, tune, and a set of wheels too. I will keep the stockers for winter time

Cts_v wheela look awesome but 2010 camaro ss wheels look so much better. Staggered setup so no rotating tires. If you buy 4 wheels from the camaro ss front meaning 20x8. Then you can rotate tires.
As far as cold air intake roto fab is the way to go. Superchips tune is inexpensive and easy to use for the mods u have listed you want to do. Its a handheld tuner

Welcome!!! Rotor-Fab intake is awesome, I enjoy mine.

Love that color. Post up some pics.

Congrats. Stryker Blue FTW!!! Get a rotofab intake, Kooks headers and a tune and you will be very happy with it.

Here is a pic of mine with wheels

Vararam intakes are pretty awesome. Put mine in not too long ago and it wasn't as hard as some make it out to be. You can legitimately feel the change in performance right away too.

2Quik very sexy

Congrats on the new G8, Stryker Blue is an awesome color. I really like mine and it's definitely the best car I've ever owned.

Thanks guys, what is a going price for intakes? I am being offered a used vararam installedand dyno tuned for $500 is that a good deal?? I been out of touch with prices

What wheels are those?? Anyone got pics of Camaro wheels on their car?

I love the look of the Camaro wheels on the G8, but I wouldn't want 20's and low profile tires with our potholed streets. Many G8 owners have bent the 19" wheels so I would imagine the 20's would be even easier to bend.

The wheels on that Stryker Blue G8 are made by Bremmer Kraft. I think those are some sharp looking wheels.

A new Vararam goes for $340 from Maryland speed. So depending on how legit the tuner is, it could definitely be a good deal.

I have had issues as you have described with the GXP rim/tire set up. Mostly with losing tires. The rims get slightly bent but they are still balancing out. The car is too heavy for the profile of tire they chose.

You should look into road hazard coverage for your wheels & tires.

i personally am not a big fan of this tuner, i will most likely use my tried and true proven tuner "NoGo" as i have known him for almost 10 years and trust him completely:usa:

If you want a vararam I can sell you a complete one in good working order and cleaning kit for a cheap price.

glad to have a new g8 owener around
