Made a purchase last night, 2009 G8 GT with 28,000 miles. Didn't have any plans to buy a new car for a while, but just found it and fell in love it. The 6.0 and 6-Speed auto work great together and it's a blast to drive.

LOL, No one to watch out for. Car does run good but its just a stock lt1 with headers and procharger. Guess i did a little transmission work to it to. Guy lives in new sharon and is a new customer to our shop.
Its getting close to race season again so I hope to see you out at the track and hang out a little like last year.

It is red with the black stinger stripe and a silver pin stripe out-lining the stinger, it has tinted windows, is lowered, the lug nut caps are black instead of the silver they came with. Th guy who purchased it did so from Willis. If anyone knows the current owner or can get any info, that would great. If you do know the owner and it's not for sale I would still like to see the car so I can do some personal crying with the car
Contact me with any info, Thanks!!! : 208-2681
Keepin this post in sight!

Nice looking G8 Its looks kind of familiar.

Jason let me know if you are free some day to clean up a dirty trailblazer again. If you are still doing that. Might need some gas money for the mustang. Its looking good.

No goal. Later this summer we'll put some gas in it & make some dyno pulls & maybe a pass or two to see what it will do.

Right now it is a conservative tune for break in, it is at 12psi. It can be turned up some on the pump gas. Race gas? I have L92 heads, so 20 psi is probably the most they should be pushed.

For now, I just want to get some miles on it, get used to the car, & have fun with it.
