I've always held the G8 on a high pedestal, so I hoped that I just happened to test drive a lemon because the car just felt like a cheap piece of ****. It was just hard to compare that car to my loaded GXP that, brand new, cost the same as the G8 GT. Now a G8 GXP on the other hand...

I didn't make the quote, but it was in reference to a post someone had made earlier about his bolt-on LS1 being a "faster" car than a stock '07 GT500.
I'd even take a 2005 GT500 over a 2004 Corvette LS1, only 1 year of difference there. GT500 is still a better car.
Of course the C6 is far superior, but it was never about all the cars out there and which is better, it was just about the GT500.

I don't have the options memorized or anything, but all I know is the GT I drove didn't even have a power driver seat. WTF? I had to lift the lever to slide the seat back on it's track. That's bullshit on a $30,000 car imo.

Thankfully most G8s are down to low 20's now, some even cheaper. I would love a G8 GXP if I could find one for a decent price. I would hate to pay close to what they stickered for for a car years old and with miles on them. For once GM made a vehicle that can retain its value at least

A cam only TBSS put down almost what you put down, an intake and it would have. Heads it would have it 30Rwhp more than you make. Add a small 100 shot and it is making 125+ more RWHP.
You ran a **** setup.
Only slightly better than an ls1.
If I had to keep it, there is no way I would trade my pewter car for one.
I don't even consider mine bolt ons and I would put my money on my car against his GT100.
