Thanks all, when I first saw and read about these they sounded like a cool DD to have. The used market is pretty good (price to pay) and you get a lot of car for the $. Should be a fin car and it seems like if I wanted to put like $600 in it you can unlock 40-45 rwhp. They are tuned to run on 87 octane and with a tune and intake it really wakes them up. I doubt I will do it though I want to enjoy putting in 87 for a little while considering the GTP took 93. The color is what I liked, I looked it up and it seems there were only 700 or so made and that includes v-6 models. Then add in I wanted heated leather so it is a really lucky find for the deal I got. Smokeyassturdface: bring on the slobalt…but no twisties 🙂 ---

why? that G8 should handle fine in the twisties? and fuck it, run the 93 tune. what are you saving running 87? under $2.00 a fill up? ---

The new Cobalt SS is crazy fast through the twisties…it had the FWD record at the ring. It is designed to handle badass, where the G8 is designed to be a good handling 4 door sedan. Maybe a GXP could hang with the Cobalt but not a GT. Stock 1/4 mile dudes on the G8 board are running 13.5’s so that is sweet and one guy with the tune and intake ripped off a 12.9. One thing is I would want to keep the warranty, so I think the tune may void it. ---

Nice. Have you checked flight prices to Albany? I drive there all the time. 45 minutes north of albany will be about 1100 miles round trip plus tolls both ways on 90. Don’t go I-80. Go to Erie and hang a right. Best way to get there. ---

I may even be able to get a buddy pass from a friend but I would risk not getting on my flight. Something like $12-$15 total one way. There is a small toll of a dollar or so after you cross the pa/ny border, then another big one that takes you all the way to I-87. We got ez-pass so I quit paying attention to the exact amount. To take a car up and back will be about 100 in gas and tolls.

Cool thanks man. It looks like I may end up flying there and driving home myself.

Well it being a GM I didnt want to get new because of that. Then you also have to figure the new ones are going for around $27K with all the incentives, so it isnt too bad. But to get a one one year old that is nice for $6K less than new is good enought for me. ---

I ain’t ‘giving’ it to no one (it only has 52k - we’ve put 10k on it in 1.5 years). I can just keep it & run it into the ground. It has given us very little trouble & has a Chrysler warranty until 2012. She likes it, but I can’t stand it. It is too cramped for me. I told you I’d sell it to you.
