Picking up 08 G8 GT Posted By: hurley_21_07 On: 08-03-2009 @ 12:16:43 Reply | Edit Getting it tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. It's MGM with Prem package, no sport, no sunroof. Purchase price is $22,500 but when I actually get to the dealer I am going to act very disappointed to see how low they'll go. Otherwise good price. Only has 7,500 miles as well. Also, I have already ordered a SuperChips Cortex tuner for it. It's handheld but I have hear awesome things about it and what you can do with it. Also, I am not driving forever for a good dyno tune. Pics tomorrow hopefully! If it doesnt rain. Oh yeah, I am gonna try to squeeze tint out of them, or money off the price to get tint. Got used to the limo tint on the WS6. 
$22,500 sound like a decent deal? Private party's for 24k.

But they only come in auto and that really bugged me. The GXP comes in manual but its too expensive. -- 1997 T-70 Turbo V6 Camaro 1998 Firebird V6 2007 Ford Fusion SEL-V6  Posted By: Greenbird On: 08-03-2009 @ 15:33:01 Reply | Top | Edit Sounds good. How far are you from North Wilmington? Saw first hand a GT pick up 46hp OVER a handheld tune at RPM. -- Dave '05 M6 GTO 381 rwhp / 384 rwtq Posted By: Jeremiah On: 08-03-2009 @ 18:01:25 Reply | Top | Edit  Pretty much anything with an LS based motor these days can see up to 50hp when dyno tuned...I'd say its worth the drive.-- 2005 CTS-V LS6 M6 13.66@105 stock and hot/humid  Posted By: hurley_21_07 On: 08-03-2009 @ 19:10:17 Reply | Top | Edit Hmm. I will look into it. Maybe I can get it dyno tuned RIGHT after purchase.
I also kind of like the idea of being able to change stuff myself whenever though, and back to stock if I need warranty work.

Maybe I am just lazy.

I really like that car, it has a lot of style and is pretty quick for what it is.

Awesome car. Absolutely unbelievable ob that GM did on it. Of course, shifts were lazyish but that's what I got the Cortex for. However, I was not WOWed by this particular one. It really ate at me that it wasn't exactly what I wanted (sport package, onyx/red interior). This car was metallic gray with dark grey interior. I just wasn't giddy they way I want to be when I spend $20k+. I passed and came home. I will wait until spring since I also think it will be dumb to drive it for two months and garage it for 7 months instead of getting one cheaper next year. Oh well. I am gonna pick up a GTP for a quick winter beater and trade it in on a G8 next year. Dan -- COMING 8/4/09: 2008 G8 GT SOLD: 1998 Trans AM WS6 1997 Camaro V6
