New car

[Joeb6812]

So I bought a new car last Wednesday. Traded in the Impala SS which I liked but fell in love with this when I saw it. Had to have it. The one in the picture is the same exact color and wheels as mine. I just dont have any good pictures of mine yet.

Its not a Mark VIII but that will be my next purchase. Mark VIII is the toy, this is the daily driver. The G8 GT has a 355 HP 6.0L V8 and is RWD. Its basically a new style GTO with 4 doors. Its different than what I'm used to driving because it was designed in Europe so it has foriegn car feel to it. The key is even one of those flip out type like a VW.

The last owner took really good care of the car and it even came with a matching color car cover with the Pontiac symbol on it. There isnt a scratch on this thing. He also replaced all the speakers with JL Audio component equipment and a 10" W3 sub and amp in the trunk. There is a seperate control knob that apparently controls the sub itself. This thing is cool and its fast.

Congrats Joe! I'm not a GM guy at all but the Aussie Holden's are nice vehicles.

Good luck with it!

Very nice! I just started making hoodliners for the G8 too, I have the G8 logo, Holden Racing logos and Pontiac logos for the decals.

Does yours have the metallic pedals and the 19 inch wheels?

Except Pontiac doesn't exists anymore so it's not that new of a style.. Good luck hope it works out for ya.

I always thought of them as a 4-door Mark.

Blasphemy!

I always thought of them as a 4-door Mark.

Except they have pushrods and are a GM product.... You know how you know when a GM is out of oil? When it stops leaking. :thumbsup:

My buddy has a G8 GT. He has cams/bolt-ons and is shooting for high11s already. They are indeed quick. The torque comes on quick and early without delay even with highway gears. Those cars get nasty real quick when you start modding them.
