You know better than that, NCO's are the backbone of the Marine Corps. They say you can do anything n your last day. That pic was taken the day before my change of command.

I have about 1000 miles on it and have completed the mods on the car that Pontiac should have done. Roto-Fab Cold Air Intake, relocated the Air Inlet Temp sensor, and had the ECM/TCM reflashed about 400/400 now. I'm loving the car. It is sneaky quick..... It rides so smooth that if you don't watch out you're in triple digits. Getting about 21 around town. Like I said earlier, its not a vette, thats why I have my '80 for real fun, it is what it is...a nice sports sedan for the money. It is a sleeper though, with the mods I have the car runs high 12's.

Congrats on the car. If you haven't already done the Venom, Roto-Fab and HSRK mods, you're in for a wonderful surprise.
Popin 10-17-2008, 09:59 AM Pontiac did a great job with the G8, how does it drive? Power?
darren6114 10-19-2008, 03:28 AM My wife has a friend with the g8 she loves it and i wish my wife wanted a new car because i would try to push this one on her but she wants one of those suv things. gosh I hate those things. horrible mpg and well SLOW

It drives like a dream, stays planted to the pavement and for a 4000 pound car, its sneaky quick. sub 5 sec 60, low 13's in the 1/4 and pulls strong well into triple digits. With the mods I did I'm getting 22 around town. Certainly not my vette, but a great sedan.
