Well I took a bunch of pics as well but being that I just swapped my 3G with a 3Gs iPhone I hadn't used the camera yet... Ugh... I didn't know it focused... All came out blurry.
Thanks for posting up your pics Tom and it was great to meet you both. Tom have you thought about the red V6 tails on your car? That may look totally bad ass!
Hey Kim, Don't be surprised if you get a knock on your door from a sales person from here. I think you'll be impressed with what we can do for you. If you're not and don't want to make a change I TOTALLY understand.
I would love to see your other toys though... lol
I say we all meet up for an SCCA day event and represent the G8 community!
I have yet to try it with the G8 and probably will wait until the new radius rod.

It's not really something one likes to brag aboutAlthough over the last several years it has improved vastly from what it was 12 years ago.

I thought I would pop in to this Iowa thread and see if any of you are interested in coming to the dragstrip on Sunday Sept. 27. I am driving down from WI with my GXP to race at Tri-State Raceway in Earlville, IA. I have never been there before, but I hear very good things about it. I would love to see some other G8s there that day, especially other GXPs. Anyone up for a day at the track now that summer is officially over?
