I got a G8 After debating on and off for about a year I finally decided to sell the Camaro. I just picked up this G8 GT last week. Just had some wheels put on now looking into some bolt-ons and tune.

. Not to metion it has the L76/L98 intake/heads setup being an L76 not an LS2. Its got some potential The catback is nice. Makes the car sound like a V8 rather than a Park Avenue LOL. Now that the mufflers are broken in, I do notice some drone at hwy speeds when DOD kicks in. I am currently researching getting the DOD turned off via a tune. No big increase in power. But MPGs are much better...when I drive normal of course. LOL. I have a mail tune from Vector and that made a big performance difference. I am working with A shop right now (SNL Performance) to get my car dynotuned.
Best mod so far, though, was the pedders suspension. Save the money you'd spend on exhaust and invest it in the new suspension. Rights great, handles better.

Verdad Gallardo My tune is a 93 octane tune. It made a world of difference in performance. For such a big car I am very impressed with its quickness. I have not put a CAI on mine yet. Still shoping around for a CAI that I like and one that is worth the money.
In my mind the G8 goes into the same category with the GTO: nice performance and all, but kind of blah overall. Just IMO. 
But if the prices keep falling like this, then I might actually seriously start considering one in the near future.

It does remind me a lot of the GTO. I was really close to buying a 2006 GTO when I bought my 2002 ss a little while back but I just didn't like the body styling of the GTO. I loved the interior but hated the body. I guess different strokes for different folks. congrats on the purchase though.
