Post by: Racer X on December 31 2008, 03:00:47 PM: TS, with sooooo many car buying options, why that? :question;
Title: Top Speed! G8?
Post by: Top Speed on December 31 2008, 03:07:47 PM: Well, for starters I like it. Second I need a four-door sedan to carry folks around in because my wife's car is a two-seat convertible. Third I can get it fully loaded for less than $30K.

Do you have any suggestions oh wise one?
Title: Top Speed! G8?
Post by: Racer X on December 31 2008, 03:10:08 PM: Not since you put all those limitations on your purchase. Are they really less than $30K? What is the HP for one of those?
Title: Top Speed! G8?
Post by: Top Speed on December 31 2008, 03:15:14 PM: Yes, I am currently below $30K in my negotiations.

361HP / 385lb-ft on 87 octane

Should be able to squeeze 400 HP with a little tune for 93 octane.

No dumbshit! Just goes to show you that when you say everyone has ten fingers, someone shows up with nine fingers.

Title: Top Speed! G8?
Post by: Racer X on January 01 2009, 03:16:58 PM: I believe the Pontiac is only 60 pounds lighter than the lamers choice.

I was checking out the specs on the website. I love that Pontiac has never lost the split grille.
