6 speed in a G8?
I want a G8 so bad but; 1) don't have the cash right now. 2) it's only an auto. Anyone done a 6 speed conversion? or is it even possible with the computer and stuff? I'd like to see it!!!!

The GXP has the optional 6 speed but they are usually 5-7k more with the same mileage as a GT. Not very many made and I believe they were only made in 09 not 08. The GXP also has the 6.2L with 410hp flywheel compared to the GT's 6.0L with 365hp flywheel.
I wanted the 6 speed also in this car but wasnt willing to spend the extra 7k to have it with the GXP.
Havent heard of anyone doing a 6-speed swap in a GT but that doesnt mean it hasnt happened. Check out some of the G8 specific forums and you might find one out there. G8board .com and Grrrr8 .net are 2 boards I check out frequently.

Also none of the GXp's should have been hit with the gas guzzler tax, my car did considerably better than the sticker and based off of what I have seen I would of have been exempt of the $1800 tax on the GXP.
