Post your pics of your non-Bonneville, and If you have video footage, we want to see it. Videos must be hosted on external web space and hotlinked to PontiacBonnevilleClub.com. Also discuss mechanical problems regarding your non-bonneville (this is not another lounge, but posts don't count, random car vids not of your cars should be in the lounge)

Added another one to the fleet --

Post by silverws6ta »

Last summer about this time I ran across a 2008 Escalade EXT, new sitting on a dealers lot -- drove it home for $44,9 (cash incentives, GM Card earnings, went invoice and all but $300 holdback $$$, Pontiac Owner Loyalty Certificate) -- I can still sell it now for more than I paid for it :) -- Just hit 6200k miles. You can the see Bonne is kind of out to pasture sadly..

Nice truck!! I bet that really moves with the 402 HP plus intake and exhaust. Does GMPP have a tuner for it too? That would really wake it up.

Those are incredibly fast for what they are, and quite a beautiful truck. One of my all-time favorites. Let's see some more pics! I want interior shots, I find that to be the best part!

Its 403hp and 417lb ft tq stock -- Definitely for its size and AWD its no slouch -- My mom has a 2008 SUV in Quicksilver and she has about 12k on hers and I think its a little quicker than my truck (I broke it in RIGHT :) ) -- A Predator or Custom Tune GREATLY helps out these trucks -- they have rediculous torque nannies and err toward rich as any GM tune. But then again, they run fine on 87 Octane too..

I'll have to take some better pics outside of my garage; My Bold isn't too good at dealing with that light differentiation --

I've only gotten to drive the regular Escalade. EXT is god to me. I envy you. Versatile, and luxurious. What kinda power with some mods you think you can get out of that beast?

I wish I could afford one of those. I have always liked them since they came out.

Ditto, that's an awesome truck. I've always dreamed of getting one after college, hopefully I'll get a job that'll allow me to do that!

All EXT's have the L92 6.2L VVT -- Its a torque monster -- I put the GMPP Intake, and Exhaust on it -- I will probably do a tune once it gets more miles on it (Predator is the most common)
