Anybody have any experiences with G8's?

GXP Clint lol. GTP were grand prix like the wifes car. GXP came with the 6.2 from camaro's 6spd, or autotragic. 415hp or 400 from the factory. The GT's were 361hp form the factory. With bolt on's the wake up alot. Hell just a reflashed ecu gains about 30whp. There great cars okay on gas but have the power of a V8. If i was to replace the GTP we have i would get the G8 they have way more room inside plus it has a LS based motor even though the gtp 3.8's are very strong too.

That's what I meant. Lol

I drove a few at when I worked at the dealership. Never got to drive the manual v8 unfortunately. I liked how they drove. They do ride pretty stiff though but still comfortable.

I used to own one, a 09 gt. Fun cars had small issues with it but all in all it was good. The wife wanted a lexus so i now own my first import lol

As long as the car is in as good of shape as this guy says it is we will probably be driving it home. This will make Our(her) 5th Pontiac. The sour car deal here took her 2009 G6 GT, fully loaded with 12,000 original miles. We have also had one N/A Grand Prix, two GTP's, and a Grand Am GT ram air. This will make our bought vehicle count 33, since I was 16.

Not yet, it's at a dealer in Houston. I haven't seen it in person yet. If we don't like it they do have a 2011 6.2 2wd ecsb.

Yeah I don't stay happy long, the G6 made our fourth lost to unfortunate events. For the most part most of them weren't the nicest and paid for in cash. 7 different fox body mustangs, her pontiacs, a 2dr 2wd Tahoe, a suburban, a VW GTI and the rest were trucks.

Man you sound like me too many cars.

They're on the odd Australian built GM of Europe Opal platform shared with the Craptera and GTO. This means most GM techs hate them because they are not common in build to anything but the Craptera and GTO. I replaced the driver seat side trim on one two or three times and replaced a failed cam in one too. There's hardly been an LS engine vehicle that has not had a cam fail though. They are very heavy and are hardly performance cars despite the good power. You're on an island if you buy it and need help other than engine and trans. Electrical, etc. is a lot different than "real" GM cars and trucks.
