Your wish shall be granted in late summer/early fall. The G8 GXP model will be released with the LS3 and M6 tranny. Start saving a down payment now!!! Lol.I know I am.

I'm back, no big deal. I'll be back again, I have lots of plans for this ride and I need to finish my 95 short bed with the 6.0 on my engine stand. I've got to have my rotator cuff repaired tomorrow, that will set me back a few weeks. I'll try my hardest to get some pictures this weekend. Its been raining here at the lake and I just got back from the pontiac dealership to see if they can figure out why the tranny won't shift in to second like it supposed too. Its probably a computer problem, but, when he checked it with the scanner, no error codes were displayed. I'll keep you updated.



thanks again

Dude, it's a big four-door...not a sports car. Have you checked the weight of a BMW M5? MB S-class? Lexus LS430?
