Default Black G8 GXP

Well i just laid eyes on my first one. I work at Flow PBG in Winston Salem and the GXP weve had ordered forever finally came today. The wheels are imo better looking in person than in the pictures and the shifter has prob the nicest feel from any stock shifter i have ever felt. I cant describe how happy i am to see another performance oriented,rwd,V8 pontiac with 3 pedals in the floor. Any body in the area should really come by and take a look at this thing while its still here. We also have 5 more GXP's coming for anybody who wants to see one.

Sounds great! I'm a bit far to come take a look, but it's good to hear that they are going to be as badass as they should be.

In all seriousness, I think the GXP is going to end up being absolutely badass and the new Camaro is going to be totally overhyped (45 years of telling us about it without the damn thing coming out will do that).

I got to sit in one today at the NC auto expo in raleigh and I have got to say the clutch feels AMAZING. It's the smoothest clutch I've probably ever felt and the shifter had a good feel to it as well. Nothing like the clunky Hurst shifter I'm used to in the Camaro.

The G8 GXP is everything I would ever want in a car. And oh-emm-gee...it has 4 doors?!

Seriously though, as soon as I graduate from college this December and I get myself a nice paying job, I'm scooping up a G8 GXP. No new Camaro for me. I've already got two Camaro's, don't need another one.

The calipers are painted. They are silver.

I stopped by Flow Pontiac last Wednesday to check out the MSM GT on the lot. Talked to a woman who asked if she could get me a salesman. It was about closing time and raining so I passed, but I'm definitely going to make my way back up there. Justin, what do you do at Flow? Salesman?
