Default Picked up the replacement to my GXP
08 G8 GT, White, onyx/red interior, 53k miles, Kooks 1 7/8 long tubes, X pipe, flowmaster axleback, Vararam CAI, Tuned by Fast Motorsports, HSRK, rear GXP diffuser, HIDs, 15% tint all the way around. Went down to the west side of Chicago to pick her up. I am in love with it. In sport mode it barks 2nd and 3rd at half throttle . Guy I bought it from went best 12.66@110 with it on the summer tires.








I'd have to say that I love it waaaayyyy more than my GXP. . . . .

That G8 is off the charts bro, I really wanted the G* GT when I got the GXP but unfortunatley I couldnt find one for under 25k with low miles. How much did you end up giving for that beauty?

You certainly upgraded yourself, Levi!

The GT is SOOO much nicer than the base G8, it's like they're two different cars. My wife and I looked at the V6 car before we bought the Impala, but for the money they wanted, it looked and felt cheap inside, and the 3.6 was weak in such a heavy car.

If we could have budgeted for a GT at the time, I know we would have been happy with THAT!

Anyway, congrats!

Sweet ride. When I finally decide to hop out of The GXP this is where I'm heading. So many more options to play with.
