LOL, don't you mean "haven't seen ANY of them"? You know since aside from magazine & web pics they aren't even at the dealers yet?

Also, not to get sidetracked, but would you be able to get your hands on a set of those 20" HSV wheels to ship over here?
I will pm you when the G8 twin turbo system is released, I don't have any contacts for the 20 inch wheels though you might try sending an email to HSV direct.

I have over 4,000 miles (in just over a month) on mine so far with no issues and lots of smiles!
I should have some underhood pics up on the web site within the next few days and awesome to hear that you like the F body twin turbo system, all good.

Not interested in trading up, the bird will stay FOREVER. The G8 is badass and will fit the family a ton better than the new camaro.

FI makes anything better...especially up here. Just hoping that the price isn't much more than the F body twin kit....the G8 GT is going to be a hair under 30 so its quite the bang for the buck in regards to how much car you get for your money. More $$ saved is $$ for mods

I'll post up pricing as soon as I have a firm MSRP and I suspect that the G8 twin turbo system price will be very close to the F body twin turbo system price.

We use a dyno dynamics load based dyno which tends to read about 8 to 10% lower than a dyno jet dyno.

We have tested the twin turbo G8 through the winter period and water mist has not been a problem...................the air cleaner position certainly delivers the coldest possible air to the turbochargers, all good.
