    Just picked mine up on Thursday from Missouri Valley, but live in Omaha. I really don't see very many around here. I've seen a few, but ever since I made a decision to get a G8 three or so weeks ago, I haven't seen a single one. Maybe I'm looking too hard.

    lol I noticed the same thing. Saw a couple in Lincoln, then got mine and see none. But the ones I do are black.... I will be getting some satin black stripes to stand out some day. If you're interested, we are expanding our Grand Prix club in Nebraska to Late Model Pontiac. Go to www.nebraskaclubgp.net. We are still there until the transition, the new forum is under construction. I am SLPGTP on there.

    I also got mine from Woodhouse. Couldn't beat that deal. What did you pay for your?

    There are several on base at Offutt. I know of at least 5 others. Mine is the only sport red though One white GXP, one red GT, and I think two different black GTs. I hope there are more of us (sort of). Was looking into getting an HPTuner and spending the extra $200 to get the unlimited make/model/year so we could share the cost and the unit.

    It's only $200 to get whatever years you want?!?! Woah!!

    Jump over to www.nlmpontiac.com

    It's a Nebraska Pontiac club for late model cars to balance the ones that cater more towards the older Pontiacs. Make a newb post and get talkin! It needs more non GP chatter since we converted.

    Do you work at Offut?

    Yeah, I talked the wife into getting the last one at Plaza Pontiac in Omaha on Sun. We got rid of the old Grand Am GT in place of the red loaded G8 GT. I knew what these cars were capable of, I lived in Australia for several years and saw kinds of 'hoped' up Holdens and was just amazed at how fast these little known cars were!. I hear all these people on other boards trash talking Holdens but I can assure you that their is a crap-load of old Holdens in Aus. that would run with the best new/old model car or truck. Sure, they look old and outdated but Holden makes cars to last, period. I was so glad to see the line come to the states but what a crock that GM had to drop the Pontiac line just when I think they had a chance at something great. Anyways, these are wonderful cars and im glad I can be a proud owner of an 'americanized' Holden. Mods are already on order, just had it for 5 days....

    Man, your not joking!!, very few G8 around here in Omaha, my kids taekwondo instructor has one but dose not drive it much. Maybe their are more in 'hiding'?. Love the set-up on your ride!!. I run the alkycontrol 'meth' kit on my Buick T-Type with no problems maybe because I use the FAST EFI kit on that car. But I saw it on yours, have you had any issues with it, i.e A/F, anything?. I want to put on on my G8, these kits work great on my old Buick and would like to get the same results out of the L76. Whats your thoughts?..

    I saw a silver GT on my way to work, and saw a red V6 and a pacific green V6 a few days back. Barring that, I never see them. I feel obligated to give a thumbs up/nod, it's such an occasion when I come across them.
