Just checking in.
My local Pontaic dealer still has a few G8s left.
1 GXP and 3 GTs, so hopefully we'll get some new members.

The Hybrid portion is how I justified getting the car; it's got the V8/RWD like my 00 WS6 T/A and the 4-doors like my 02 GP GTP, so I was able to convince the wife we're helping by doing our part and getting a hybrid of those two cars. :D Cheesy, I know, but hey, it worked. Of course, it has been said by others this is a hybrid because it burns both gas and rubber.

Re: the exchange from Neon to G8: Have you already posted to the "what came after SRT-4" site located HERE (http://www.srtforums.com/forums/f106/so-you-no-longer-own-srt-4-post-up-what-came-after-520221/)?

No..I haven't posted on that thread. I haven't been back there much...unless someone messages me about some tuning questions. I had the PTP tuning software and the super60 turbo...

I bet you miss it. Sure, you like the comfort, RWD and the relative handling advantage, but I bet you miss the powah! :D I'd trade my XM, big glovebox, and paperclip & penholder for another 50 whp. Heck, I'd do it for 25 whp and 2 city MPGs.

Posting here again because won't be moving to Alabama the Beautiful after all. Was hoping to link up with others there, but Unc Sam had different ideas.

Yea...I miss the power. It also had Megan racing springs(2" drop) front and rear strut bars,upgraded sway bars and upgraded rotors.....so handling was alot better....

It'll be in the 11's soon......looking at a nitrous kit..

I do like all the features....and I get more looks in the G8.

G VIII
09-06-2009, 04:46 PM
lol it isn't the quantity of looks, it's the quality. and when you beat a vette, viper, m3, etc. in a Neon, you get plenty of quality looks. i'm sure it's even cooler for those guys beating Ferraris and whatnot. The stock G8 still doesn't handle in absolute terms as well as my autoX skittle, but it's very predictable. Of course, i'm not autoXing my G8 (yet), so it hasn't been truly pushed.

Autox in the G8? It's too big to fit in between some of the cones..:)
I have ran the hell outta mine around Little River Canyon...it handles real well. I used manuaul mode...so I could downshift going into the curves..helped alot.

lol isn't this the truth? i hate it when the Formula SAE guys design our course; they think nothing of 8' wide boxes; always have to go back over it with them and shuffle some cones around. i've never autoX'd a car that wasn't purpose-built, even if it was a street car, nor have i ever been able to run the stock class. i think the G8 should do well.

Yea I've been a member on ARS for a long time, as DavesGTP, just pretty much never post anymore. I posted fairly often when I had my dark red 4-door turbo Grand Prix GTP. I think I met you one time at Steele......I think?

Hi I'm from north alabama and I know a few others that own a g8 from my area...my cousin owns a dark grey g8 and she lives around gadsden area and one of my friends mother owns a black g8 gt that lives in my area and one of the mechanics (where I get my car serviced) wife owns a red g8 gt and the owner of that dealership has a daughter that drives a white g8 gxp (from what I'm told). This info may not help out and maybe a little useless since they are not on the site but just thought everyone should know that the girls in north alabama love their g8's.

Hold on, so for $3k if I were to do the labor on your car and swap out to stock I'd get those things eh? Hmmmmmmmm.
I have stock parts (or most of them, we'd need to discuss) and could do the labor, if you could allow me to do the labor/swap in my garage in Pelham. If so let me know and I will mull it over. How many miles on the 1900? Any issues with it?
