THey are changing the new daily about these cars. I think it would take some getting use to, though i like it. I worked at a Pontiac dealership, got to shuttle one around a few times. They do drive pretty nice, and have lots of power. I want to try the Vauxhaul version. They had one on Top Gear this past week that had a LSA or LS9. Those things sound ungodly with that blower whine. You dont get that blower whine here in the states with all our nvh silencers and all the namby pamby wimps who dont want that kinda noise out of their car. I say shut up and go drive a Camery or something else that is boring, This bad boy isnt for some blubbery whiney.........oh well. I think Gm does kinda need it back, even if in limited quanities, it really was a good car.

Fitted a new exhaust system old one was to loud with the new heads/cam setup. It's a KPM system 1 7/8 headers(ceramic coated) and full 3" system. I've seen some US G8 systems and some look the goods and some look really weird, this dosn't DRONE either
Ceramic headers installed
X merge
Cat convertors
Shiney
My old system for reference X force 3"
