A guy a work with just bought a Blue G8 GT. He previously owned a Monte SS. He said it was pretty comparible as far as comfort but he could definitely feel the power difference with the 6.0L as apposed to the 5.3L. Personally, I think they are pretty mean looking. I like em. ---

> [@02NismoSpecV](#): > > i think a stock G8 looks better than the one posted IMO Of course, the one posted got the PepBoys treatment. Here’s a nicer version: And of course, swaps will probably be common with this car. People are already looking to fit a 454 LSX block in it. ---

I like them. I had it up between either a G8 or GTO… but considering the prices of GTOs now a days… I don’t mind saving 20k and getting a GTO… ---

The dealer told me any mods will void any waranty on the engine, i say bs. This car is way to quiet and has so much potential for more hp. Ps, no pinstriping on this one, just taking the badges off.🙂 ---

Nice buy, I like that color. Don’t see it to ofter, alot of red, orange,gray, and that purple Mike had the shop G8 on the dyno a few weeks ago late one night, I busy porting heads. But he just had a nice serdi valve job done on a stock take off set of heads. The car gained 13whp I think it was? I don’t know what cam it was testing at the time but it was a smaller size one. ---
