Default New DD - G8 GT

Picked up a new daily driver.....

Wasn't really looking for a new car but I got $5K off from my GM Mastercard and then another $4,500 off for GM loyalty discounts and some other incentives plus got them down off of sticker and traded in my Chryco 300M I didn't have to finance much.

We love ours, Get it tuned ASAP, the difference in the tranny and the gas pedal is worth the cost alone

Thanks guys, I'm pretty stoked about the whole deal.

Can you elaborate on the trans / throttle issues?

You can say that again. GM really screwed up the G8 tuning.

Talk to Don, but they have an out of control torque management. It pull most all the timing on upshifts.
The throttle is "drive by wire" so the comp in incharge. Our car would lurch at light throttle from a stop then bog then pick up again. tuned its as smooth as glass
