    Default Newbie from Detroit

    Hello all,

    Thanks for having me here on GRRRR8! Six.tWOOOO is my handle, but my real first name is Bill. For those who missed it, my handle is a tribute to the legendary Ric Flair. Wooo!

    I'm from the metro Detroit area, and my G8 is a 2009 Panther Black Metallic GXP. I've owned it for almost two years, and I use it as my daily driver. It's got the TR-6060 six-speed manual, and it's pretty much stock aside from a set of Solo Axleback mufflers, a short-throw shifter, and 19" GT wheels for wintertime.

    Long-term goals are to reclaim a set of OEM GXP rims (since the first owner ditched them for some Niche Misanos) and get it pushing 500 HP - a "modest" bump from the 420-ish the LS3 had from the factory.

    Again, thanks for having me, and I'm looking forward to being a member of the community!

    Welcome Bill! I'm a Bill as well, and am in metro Detroit currently at Providence hospital for a mother-in-law visit. I did drive the G8 GT up this morning. Itching to remove the winter tires!
