Sold the Jeep. It was awesome, but I wanted to get back in an LSX vehicle. I was thinking Camaro, but the back seat is entirely too small to carry my growing family so I got the much roomier, only 100lbs heavier G8 GT. It's bright red with the red two tone leather interior and factory 19" wheels. I've already put a tune in it and boy it runs soooo much better. Great car. I'll post pics soon. Gotta change my signature and sig picture.

Congrats on the new G8.
I loved the SRT-8 too, but the curb weight and MSRP sent me elsewhere.
IMO, the ONLY intelligent conclusion anyone can come to.
If I could have added a huge backseat and giant trunk to my C6 for around 100lbs, I'd have done it in a heartbeat.

I would like to know what Patrick thinks would be a good working cam for these cars. Getting rid of AFM, and one for a daily driver with a lot of power.......

Congrats on the car! What is in the G8 GT? Ls2? I'm not in the know when it comes to these, I know more about the Firehawk G8s than the GTs. All I know is that I love the G8 cars and I am thinking that my next purchase might be one (or a re-badged chev version-whatever)

In the 2008s the engine is a L76 6.0 V8 6 speed auto (G8 GTs)
In the 2009s the engine is the same in the GT's
but in the GXPs you can get a 6 speed manual LS3 6.2 liter or
a 6 speed automatic 6.2 liter would be an L99 (with AFM)
