Finally joined after a few people suggested I do at work and at cars and coffee. My name is Jason and I have had the G8 since January. Needed a car that I could haul my kid around in but I didn't want a minivan and I wanted a GTO so I met in the middle and found this. It got repoed from the previous owner and I picked it up for a good deal. Here is the basic mod list: Cam (224/228 .581/.588 114 LSA), Protorque 2800 stall, Kooks LT Headers and X-pipe, Borla exhaust, Vararam OTR intake, front Brembos, and some other stuff I forgot about probably. Hopefully I can get some FI at the beginning of next year. See y'all around and here are some pics:

I don't have any vids...I can make one later if you want to hear it but I can guarantee that the sound in a video won't do this car justice.

I am about to sell my stock wheels and tires so I can get a set of drag radials but until then I am not rich and don't intend to ruin my street tires but similarly modded G8's are hitting the mid to high 11's on DR's and high 11's and low 12's on street tires.

GTO 17's fit perfect... I picked up 2 tenths in the 1/8 with pretty much stock form.

Probably going to try and find some vette wheels that are 18x9.5 so I can run 285's no problem but if a set of GTO or older camaro wheels pop up at a good price, I can still run 275's and I wouldn't be upset.

Welcome! I was looking to buy a house on that street 2 years ago... small world.

Ride looks great! I ran into one in Savannah and it was cammed and had exhaust and it sounded ridiculously good.

Who did the install work? Tune?

Sure...if the tires are usuable, sounds like a good deal.

HHP did the tune and installed the torque converter. Everything else either came with the car or I installed it.

He's right, but I don't have any problem putting trucks in their place...behind me. :gears:

What is the lug pattern and how wide are they...I would only need two.

Hope your enjoying my old ride... :(

I only owed 9 more months on it before it got repoed. Obama's car company took it even though I had less than a year to pay it off. When I sent the money in to get it back they told me they sold it at an auction days before! Plus, I had made arrangements to buy it back from Summerville Chevy but the sold it the same day I got there to pick it up! Dude, I have the worst of luck! :(

Any ways, here is my proof of previous ownership, plus I can send you the other key fob, manual, and dash key if you dont have it. PM me! EnJoy It...It was built to handle 850bhp, I was going to install a 2300 Magnacharger before the economy fell. But glad your enjoying it! Drive safely with akid in the back. :)
