Is there numbers out of how many of these GTs were built for the USA?

It seems from searching Ebay and around the numbers of these cars available are dropping pretty fast or maybe it is just me.

I really doubt they will hold to much value but the idea of having a vehicle that is a little unique is nice.

I went to a car show this week and there seemed to be interest in what our car even was as I de-bagged it. In may area these cars are around but far fewer GTs.

G8 Nation had a break down of how many of the colors were built and how many built per mont,h but no detail of how many as fas as color and packages.

Example my '08 Ignition Orange is 1 of approx 900 or so built. I'm just trying to figure out how many are with the packages I have, i.e: I have a GT w/ sport and prem with no roof. I'm thinking/hoping I'm only 1 of maybe 400 or so built. Hope that helps.

I read somewhere that all G8s combined (Sedan,GT,GXP) were around 30,000 produced (not necessarily sold yet). I don't know if it's accurate.

That's great. We are a rare breed. :D

Now if I could only figure out the stryker blue GXP auto vs. manual, with or without sunroof, I could really get what I am looking for.

So if I stated that my stryker blue auto without sunroof is 1 of about 30, I would be close.

When I bought my car, Nino had another stryker auto with roof, but I don't think he ever had a M6 stryker GXP.

Sorry Grandma C. That's only for the plain G8. Pacific Slate is rarest for the GT and GXP. However, with a lot of persistence and black paint, that could change.

It's velcro'd to a sheet metal bracket. I used the velcro that came with the Dashhawk, and it comes off pretty easily.

I can take some pictures later this weekend.

Oh yeah, everyone wants a Panther Black G8GT, otherwise they wouldn't have made so many!

I'm actually somewhat surprised black is the most common. I love black but everyone knows its such a paint to keep clean...unless you just make it a garage queen like *cough* some people *cough*

I think the most popular color among all cars in general, or at least performance cars, is black.

It's great for hiding from the police when street racing at night.
