I couldn't help myself....

Fell upon this by accident two days ago, scored a screaming deal that I couldn't pass up.

Traded in Shannon's H3, she took mine ( mine is newer and has more options ) She was happy with that so we both win.

Little about it

09 G8 GXP
Silver on black interior
10k miles
LS3
M6 trans
20 inch Enkei wheels (bummed they didn't have the stockers still)

It is sooo much fun.. (kinda sad for the fire actually, gonna have to decide what to do with it now I think..)

couple crappy cell phone pics from when I picked it up and at a local car show last night.

do want

Love the rims, just hate that they're all black. Paint 'em silver or polish the lips and they'd be perfect! Otherwise, nice pickup!!

The rims look good. I think the all black looks nice because it contrast well from the silver. I've always been a fan of the G8. Can't go wrong with the LS3. Its a nice pick up for sure.

Looks great!

Score!!

Love it!
I would put the original or hunt for some Holden wheels.

Very Nice, we seem to have the same taste in cars, between the caddy hummers and now this. I test drove a GT the other day (I did not realize at the time that there was a GXP) and was not impressed.

So im gunna try and find a GXP. I have it narrowed down to that or a CTS coupe..

cant blame you at all. I'd love to have one of these bitches in white or silver. congrats man

Thanks guys, fisrs mod is going to be winter wires and wheels, figure one winter, and I'll decide what to do about a bad weather driver..

After I secure that, I'll think about mods, but for now this thing is fun as hell as is..

Missed this one..

When I still had the CTS I test drove a GT, turned that thing around and thanked them for their time.

The GXP is light years different, I can't explain it, although I am sure the m6 trans has a LOT to do with it.

I literally fell into this one, and couldn't pass it up. Shannon got a newer truck out of the deal, so It was kind of a no brainer.

Beware....those stock taillights aren't legal in Maryland

No worries, No plans on going there.

the first thing I need to do with wheels is find winter ones..

after that short term is get the wider one for the rears, throw 275's on there, and put one of the ones on there in the trunk.

Long term goal, probably a set of 19 inch CCW's

** FOR SALE** http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php?f=24&i=110879&t=110879

thats not a horrible price....but its still a little over 6 G's lol

looks fawking awesome with the black wheels. i say leave em.

now... is it just me or is the back bumper a different shade of silver? has it been re-painted?



Oldsmobile all motor > Saab/Opel boosted

back bumper is off like woa, its on the short list of must have mods...

wheels are staying a while, there are 2mm spacers on the fronts now, looking into 5mm hubcentrics to replace, and ordering 9.5 inch rear wheels and some 275s to go with ( then I can have a spare tire too)

today was the first "cooler" day out since I got it, this bitch lights up first gear like it's her job with the 8.5 / 245s on it now..
