We are getting too old to wait any longer, since my girl is already 32 now!!
Congrats, and where to go is wait and don't lose your mind lol I would highly encourage you too not sell anything if possible, as when you miss it and buy another you'll spend 4 times what you sold it for lol

I know personally I'm done having kids around 30, I don't wanna be to old to be able to play with my kids lol

Congrats to having a kid. May you be blessed by the lord.


On a sidenote, I think I'm going to pull the trigger and just say **** it and throw a shot on the 5th gen. Going to install the 8rib to up boost to hopefully 12psi and throw a 75 shot. When I blow **** it. I'll buy a new engine.

I'm educated enough, but I was right in the middle of taking Human Resourse Management in university while working part time as a youth counselor. All that has to change now, and I may even have to sell the hawk. I have so much money into that car that I don't see how I'll ever get it back.

I had to restore it first off, then of course modded the hell out of it (all dealership done-since that's where I worked at the time). We both don't really want to let her go, but this is just so much better than I could have asked for. It's all paid off and will help with a down payment for a house for sure . I'll still have my other toys, and hopefully keep the Hawk too! So what happens happens . Just wanted to share my excitement!

We are getting too old to wait any longer, since my girl is already 32 now!! I'm still in shock I think, somehow. Even though I've been waiting for this day, it really seems so surreal when they tell you the news. I'm happy, and I'm a little worried...but mostly happy .
Congratulations man. Hopefully you can keep the Hawk so your future son/daughter can take it to high scholl dances

Hopefully you're in a better state than they are. They had me worried but I was looking forward to the twins and mom was looking forward to the grandchildren. 2 BR townhome, brother goes out to eat way too much, started a new job, she has a lot of student loans and a car loan to worry about. To top that off, a 4 year old whose dad is nowhere to be found.

I'll never be able to understand how people have kids and aren't in their lives. Definitely a confused little 4 year old girl.

G8 GT for sure. Like the idea of the new 2014 Chevy SS but it'll likely be a heavy **** with an L99. Can do a tune and straight pipe and beat everything though
That's never a good situation. Similar thing happened to my aunt and uncle.

Why would you put n20 ona boosted engine? Just up the boost more if you're going to do that. People are going to talk so much **** if you need boost AND n20 to beat something lol.

Talk all they want.
I'll still win.

Maggie is not a big supercharger. And I think I will be able to get away with a 75 shot on VP at 12psi giving roughly around 800-850rwhp. The Maggie alone would only be able to get me about 780-800rwhp.

Not trying to **** in your cornflakes or anything; but not long until the trans or engine goes bang with that much power on stock internals/trans unless the tune is spot on and you are lucky. I would start looking into a 4L80E soon. Also, are you running a stock driveshaft?

I know the trans and engine will go boom. Time to upgrade.
Stock driveshaft. Pretty sure it's already bent.

Yeah, probably is... is it the shitty 2 piece? If so I am surprised it's lasted you this long

Thanks for all the congrats and kind words guys ! We're pretty sure we are holding onto the hawk, but we might be adding a g8gt if the price is right. I have some time to think about it and shop around. However, I don't see a z06 happening anytime over the next few years. Maybe down the road a little further. Last sedan we had was the GP, it was comfy and roomy enough though.

2SSArme- "only" 780 at the wheels without the shot lol? Dang, how much will the shot even do at that level considering the risk? Good luck though man, it'll be cool to see how far the thing can be pushed!

Lol 780rwhp with about 3-4k more in upgrades for the Maggie.

A 75 shot would put me around 900rwhp. I'd be very interested to see if the motor would even withstand 1 shot.

Yup. So am I. I thought first day on slicks it would go to hell. But it has lasted what...2months now? I think I have a factory freak. I have been running at this level for WAY too long with everyone telling me my trans is going to blow but it'0s still there and it's still strong...

I don't even have a trans cooler lol.

LOLOLOL Wow you are asking for it. I broke the 2 piece one in my GTO with just bolt ons


I know the Trans in my G8 held up to multiple instances of abuse although I was nowhere near your power level. Lots of hard launches at the strip though and I drove the **** out of that car. No tranny cooler just a trans tune and synthetic oil.

I need to make a list of what I need for the nitrous.

I have the kit, but am missing a purge kit, plate kit for TVS2300 and window switch (if I even want one). Not sure what else I should get.

I just want a purge kit to show off lol.

Anyone else watching the news today and feel like the US should just nuke the whole middle east and call it a day? I mean 90% of the worlds problems would go away.

Congrats man! I helped raise my ex's two kids at the age of 21, and to be honest I just felt too young back then. All the best

I'd be very interested to see that too! I'm just glad it's your money not mine .
