sorry yeah these got kinda eclipsed by the G8 GXPs but i wanted front drive in the winter and i payed 25,000 less for this machine, only complaint is the aftermarket, but i am a design student so its good practice at problem solving and prototyping. im just suprised about how many people dont know these cars ar V8s

Kind of ironic having a shaker on a FWD.. but it pulls it off nicely. Do you plan on painting the hood body color? Looks like a flat black, it's hard to tell with the lighting.
