Greetings, everyone! Have about 3 weeks and @ 1000 miles on my new '09 Stryker blue metallic G8GT with sport, premium, everything..... Have been easy on it for break-in, but several short full throttle blasts up to @ 120 have left me very impressed. Handling is remarkable, and comfort, fit, and finish is superb! Was in a collegiate homecoming parade last week bringing up the rear as the automotive example of 2009, the year of this university's centennial. And I cannot tell you all the wonderful comments, oohs/ahhs, and questions about the car as I cruised along.... And the chicks LOVED it! Ha! If I were only younger and single!
We really do have a world class car in the G8..... when the automotive press raved about the car, and talked it being the equal of their beloved BMW... they were right on the money!
Now I gotta make this thing sound just a little bit better... The muscular tone of the stock system on my '05 GTO is what I want! Any suggestions?? The Magnaflow 'quiet'???

Drive safely!
Kev

Thanks very much, and glad to be here.... Have enjoyed forums for quite a while now----having owned C5 and C6 Vettes, GTO, and Mustang GT's over the last few years.... but I really dig the G8.. .think I'll keep it for a while!

Welcome! I hit 250 today and am VERY impressed as well...

I have done quite a few mods to it already and LOVE it!

Had a late model grand am race me today from a dig. I was sitting in the car with my buddy talking and the guy nails it and has 2 on me (wasn't racing) so I can it and have him by one before 50mph and let off. He drives by revving his engine... lol
:loser:

I agree! GREAT CAR!

Only 250?? I think we both got our cars around the same time and I'm up to 900. I didn't think I was driving that much. 200 mile trip this weekend too...
