For sale is truly limited edition G8 GT. In addition to being quite powerful for a family car, this is the first 'correct' automatic to manual transmission conversion G8 GT. Every function works just like a GXP. You get all of the power, but none of the insurance penalty! I bought this car two years ago with a dead transmission and the goal to convert it to a manual. Through two moves and a deployment, I finally managed to get it done. But now that the project is done, I want to concentrate on some other projects. It is in great condition and I will be truly sad to see it go, but it's time for it to move on to another owner. Specific details below:
08 G8 GT
White with black/red leather interior
MoonRoof
Monster Stage 3 single disk clutch
GXP slave cylinder, upgraded master cylinder from Camaro5 forum
Every Factory Option (sport and premium packages)
Breyton GTS Wheels Silver 19x8.5"front 19X9.5" Rear
Khomo Ecsta Ultra Summer Tires
Comp Cam XFI 224/230
Displacement On Demand Delete
American Racing Headers Catless LongTubes and Mid Pipes
Magnacharger intercooled TVS2300 -- 3000miles on Supercharger when I bought the car with ~43k miles on it
ZR1 LS9 Head gaskets with ARP bolts
KB Boost A Pump
DBA 4000 Series Brakes w/ Hawk Ceramics - 3000 miles on Brakes
HID headlamps and matching fog lights
Line Lock Kit
CAI
Wideband O2 sensor (wiring is installed but not remainder of system)
MGW short shifter kit from a Camaro (will install the stock GXP shifter if the prospective owner wishes. The MGW takes some additional finesse.)
Tick Performance clutch speed bleeder
Will sell the car and all stock and spare parts for $28k.
Tuned by PatG (autocal will be included with sale). I'm working with a local dyno shop to verify power numbers before the sale. Previous owner reported 552 rwhp / 589 tq from the dyno in Kansas City, MO. I'm expecting the power curve may be lower since I'm at 7000 feet
Here is the list of stock parts that come with the car:
- stock intake, headers, cam, DoD parts
- stock 6L80E trans: needs to be rebuilt - have all of the OEM parts from Pace Performance to rebuild it using stock clutch/steels +1, manuals, and tools required. Also spent $900 to upgrade to Century's 300m billet intermediate shaft and reinforced clutch hub kits
- Stock G8 torque converter
- Stock automatic parts: driveshaft, shifter, engine wiring harness, other sundry bits
- probably other small stuff
- 18" Elbrus rims w/ Blizzak tires are also available but not currently included in the sale.
Cons:
- All slight cosmetic issues: crack in the point of front bumper cover, some rock chips on hood (less than a dozen) and both fenders (maybe 2-3) and a scratch on my rear bumper from an incident with the wife and the garage door. Sigh. There is also a bit of curb rash on two of the wheels.
- I am taking it to a detailer tomorrow to see about getting most of these issues touched up.
Feel free to send me PMs for questions about the car. Thanks for looking. Willing to pick up the prospective owner from either Denver or Colorado Springs airport.
