I hate those fake hood scoops. Put a carbon fibre hood on to get rid or them.
They remind of the hood scoops rednecks put on their pickups, bwaahahaaaa.
I could live with the grill though.
Don't worry about the wheels they are 20's for the show car only.

 http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=125393New coupe maybe. As before, I think this would look great with some different type of c.f. hood. |

I read somewhere a G8 sedan GT automatic with a tune did a 13.1 sec 1/4. Impressive!!!

Is it worth $2-4000 to avoid looking like a Pontiac? Holden VE front conversion kit |

I would do it.
I read that the G8 and the Solstice will no longer be produced / sold in the US after the current generation. That leaves Pontiac with ZERO rwd cars in their line up...

I hope what I said will not come to fruition. Otherwise, Pontiac will have lost its identity as the sportier division within GM. Having just a bunch of rebadged Chevys is kinda meaningless

I've always liked the look of this car on the outside. Never was a fan of Pontiac's interior. Something...just urks me about the interior. XP

Bump from the past. I filled up gas this morning near my house and to my surprise there was a guy filling up his black G8 GT sedan. I was in the pump beside him and he acknowledge me with a "nice car" comment. I returned the favour, in obvious jealousy haha. He said so far he has done a chip and intake, and the car has dyno'd 380whp. YIKES! Even without an exhaust, the car sounds like a beast. Unreal.

To get a collector plate after 25yr, the car has to be stock.  I really hope GM will keep the G8 under other brand. |

Will the manual transmission ever be available in Canada? It said a manual transmission with the more powerful 6.2L engine is available but I haven't been able to price one. If I had to buy a domestic car, this would be the one.

There's a 2-door version available here with a 6-speed and 427 bhp. It's called the Camaro.
