2009.5 G8 GXP Mini-Update Pg 16.

[SSEiMan01]

Meet Sheila. Those with a keen eye will note that I have already taken off the GM badges from the fenders as well as the (redundant) Pontiac script on the decklid. Also removed the engine cover, which is big enough to use as a sled I swear...





















Surprised how much more room there is here as opposed to my 01

Beautiful!

[GoldenBullet]

Nice dude!! I'm very jealous. My car is missing 4 cylinders.

[SSEiMan01]

Thanks!

Also found out this is originally a Virginia car. The dealer owner I got it from went out of his way to bring it here. She also got a 91 on the carfax/autocheck rating.

Jelly! Great looking car Will!

[SSEiMan01]

Thanks guys!

I'm being spoiled by it so far. Have to really keep my foot out of it too. Cruise control may be surrendering but I don't need a stack of speeding tickets.

[deano55]

very, very nice, glad for you. Haven't seen those rims I don't think. That should never see a salted road

[SSEiMan01]

I don't want it to. The wheels are GXP specific.

[Hotwheels]

Looks fantastic. What an awesome car.....would really love to drive or even ride in one sometime, but they're just not real common up here where RWD cars aren't plentiful due to the climate. Maybe sometime you'll have to do a little acceleration video or something

Nice car Will! Anxious to ride in it when the day comes!

So, so clean!! I'm going to have to make a trip all the way from Ohio just to take a look at that beauty and ride in it. The GXP has to be a beast compared to the GT. Mmm, such nice, big brakes!

I know how you feel, Will. I try to keep it easy with mine most of the time, because I do not need attention from the cops. However, this guy in a Jeep tonight would not get off my bumper, so at a red light, I unleashed the power and left him clueless in a cloud of dust.

Oh yeah, those back seats are so awesome. I still get surprised by how much room is back there, especially compared to a Bonneville (although I still think the LeSabre has the most room).

Again, that car looks so amazing! Be sure to have some fun in it when you can!!

[SSEiMan01]

I'll give anyone a ride who wants it.

Ben, I need to get a go pro or something. I fear I wouldn't be able to hold the camera with the ongoing thrust.

Those are GXP specific wheels. The GT's optional 19's don't have enough positive offset/backspacing to go over the Brembos.

Also, they are not the same ones as on the CTS-V. They have slight differences, namely in the center mounting pad area and the spoke style.

Same here, need a Go Pro. Tried one night with my phone - punched it and the phone flew out of my hands, only to be found once I got back into town.

[deano55]

I was reading that these do 13 flat 1/4 mile times stock, assuming that is correct?

[SSEiMan01]

Actually closer to 12.7-ish. 0-60 in 4.6

The one thing I love the GXP's for over the GT's and V6 models (other than big engine and brakes), is that front bumper. I love the way it looks.

I'd do a front bumper swap if it wasn't for the fact that it's dang expensive ($600 unpainted from Summit Racing - and that doesn't include the fog inserts and all the little parts).

Also, I really didn't like the GXP rims at first, but the more I look at those pictures, the more I'm actually liking them!
