Planning new ride...what do you think?


TTQ B4U

Recommended Posts

I've got the itch starting early this time.....I've always enjoyed the GP and came close to a GTO even though it wasn't tops in the looks department for me, I fell in love with it once behind the wheel. However, due to some feature restraints wifey and I compromised...now then....the new one is about to arrive....what's everyone think of the new Aussie Invasion?

 

I like this pic best:

If you buy it, i'll wash it for you.

 

and dry it.

 

You are going for the v8, manual trans version right?

 

Havn't really looked into those at all yet, what's under the hood?

 

I still have the motor trend with it on the cover. I THINK 380 hp v8, 6speed manual. Someone correct me if im wrong, it's been a while since i read that article.

I think the dead on front view looks narrow due to the angle...it's wide in person....wider than my GXP I think.

 

I have full specs around here somewhere....will edit post shortly.

 

6.0l L98, 362hp with DOD for fuel economy. Six Speed auto option or 6 Speed manual.

 

I'll likely go with the Tap-Shift/Tiptronic, whatever auto. Like the Solstice, the auto's are seeming to pull better times...at least in Aussie Land.

 

Would really love to have the LS2, but that's not going to happen as it would likely kill sales....guzzler tax and what not with an auto on the GTO surely hurt some sales. GM Sedans don't sell well with a manual tranny....but the tranny debate can occur outside this thread if that's okay with everyone.

 

More info....come peek over at http://www.g8power.com vs me just linking or double posting stuff everywhere. GM is watching the site like mad too. We've already had to remove and update some things at their request.

Careful, when you put wishlist cars in your sig they tend to become unavailable.

Holy shit, thats the G8 they were supposed to bring out in 2000? They changed the body style quite a bit, but I still like it. I wish they would've brought the 2000 G8 out. The AWD LS1 would've been so bad ass.

 

it was cool concept it used the AWD out of a azteck.
