Well I got the car February of 2010… Was not used to the power at all, Not saying its crazy but I went from a base Monte Carlo with a 3400 that my father got me (Most likely so I wouldnt ask to drive his vehicles) lol, It wasnt that bad of a car though very reliable. Needless to say I went to the dealership for the G8 basically just expecting not to get approved cause I was 21 at the time and the car was like 27,000 out the door, Ended up getting approved. Mods as of right now (In order)- Roto-Fab Intake Solo Mach Shorty catback Future mods (In order)- Kooks LT headers Dyno tune Magnacharger TVS1900 ---

I’ve seen/heard of many OBX headers cracking… Just a forewarning… Most people seem to say once they crack and you weld them back up they are great, but its a bit of a pita ---

the OBX stuff has proven itself on the F-bodys…hearing about them cracking is news to me. nice looking car…the only thing that bothers me is how ugly the wheels are. ---

It would fit the flare out on the rear fenders alot more and if the wheel was wider, you could put a fatter tire on it. Big tire + wide wheel = bad ass stance. ---

Ive seen a lot of photos with dished wheels on the g8 and I dont think it looks as good as you think… I believe the no dish look fits the car best… And if i had the money these would be the wheels… But I’m kinda worried how the Black and Orange would mix ---
