no mods on the G8 yet. saving my dough. I just bought a front drive kit (19155067) for the T/A, and that is on back order from GM. he T/A is a work in progress and has some pics available. It's being set up for me to learn road racing. Teaser pic is below.

Picture of Father and Daughter (watch it she's 15) she actually did help in taking the engine apart.

A set of axlebacks is definitely high on the list since I want it to sound better in the worst way. I'm thinking a little 75-100 shot might follow shortly after along with a tune.

Don't go too loud or you might hate DD'ing it...I wouldn't though.
A guy around here had LTs, X and a stock axleback I think it was pretty quite under normal driving and was pretty loud at WOT. I'd say intake, axleback, tune and call it quits. You'll only want to keep going further, so start off slow.

Nope, 19155067 is the GM part number for a kit that includes all the doodads involved in the belt drive on the front of the engine. In this case, it is a Corvette-based accessory drive, with the alternator high and to the driver-side of the engine, but not high enough interfere with the hood.

Sounds like my girlfriend (also 22). She was sending a text in the passenger seat at a stoplight the first time she felt WOT in my car. I rolled off the clutch and booted it, spun all 4 in first, grabbed 2nd and kept them spinning until 60 or so, slammed 3rd and stayed in it until 100 or so (not a main road).
What did she do? Nothing. Nothing at all. I've never seen anyone act like nothing was happening. Most non car people laugh, scream or both.
"Seriously? No reaction?"
"My father has 2 (restored classic) Camaros, he's been doing the same thing to me since i was a kid."

. I start pulling on this stang when I start to hear, very faintly over the radio turning up, stop Stop STop STOP STOP! STOP!!!!!! She starts flailing at me and hitting me cause that seemed like the right thing to do at WOT. I had to get out of it around 60 so I was just a little ahead of the stang. She yelled at me some more all while I stopped at two more lights IN A ROW lined up with this guy and didn't try again. I was fuming
