Default The truck is gone

The orange silverado is gone now. I had a lot of good memories with that truck. But it was time for a change. Needed something for the family that was more convenient for us. So I picked up a nice 10k mile 09 G8 GT, graphite metallic on a very good deal. I plan to still visit PT.NET just for the fact most of the car sites have pretentious ******** posting on them.


Thanks for all the knowledge on here, see ya in the staging lane.

Love the color!

Have always loved the G8, they are fairly underestimated

very very comparable to a 5 series bmw at a pontiac price.
I'm loving my 6.0L grocery getter. lol. I'm probably just going to do the washer mod to the exhaust unless the drone is too bad. heard it is but do not want to shell out that much cash for the axle backs.

What's the difference between the GT and GXP?

I watched a review of the G8 vs the Charger R/T and the G* walked ALL over it in EVERY category

Main thing is the LS3 engine but also includes slightly different bodywork, wheels, brakes, suspension, seats and some other small accents.

i wouldn't mind having a G8 myself. enjoy

g8 gxp is a 6.2L w/ 6 spd manual.
