Who built this G8? Hey, all. To start off, if this is in the wrong section, please move.
Secondly, looking at buying a G8 GT but after actually viewing the car in person and finding out it has quite a bit of mods, I'm looking for the original owner or whoever it is that did the build. Let me say this, it is at a dealer. The dealer does not have receipts for work done or anything but a few friends of mine know the car from either doing work to it after the PO sold it or tuned it. Shane @ FAP Tuning did the most recent tune and, as far as I was told, the tune he pulled off the car was for a big LSx 418-427CID, low compression motor. I do know the car has: long tubes to straight pipes, FAST 102/102, cam. Also been told there is a Yank 3200, comp valve train throughout, AFR heads, ARP everywhere. To stop talking, in just looking for the details on the motor (CR, valve train details, trans details, converter details, gears, etc) to see if I should buy the car and if I have a good shot at atleast having a decent driver (not daily, but reliable to not break shortly after buying it.) the car is currently located here in STL but I was told it was a Texas car.
Here are the pictures I do have of it. If anyone knows anything, please post them up with any other info you might have.
