My G8 GT tranny shifted fast and was really responsive.

I drive a lot for work so I put 37k miles on the G8 in 11 months. Had it from Illinois to Oklahoma city as well as Illinois to Naples fl.

The trip to Oklahoma I averaged around 25-26mpg with Intake, DT Tri Y's and axle back. 4-5 people in the car at times and trunk full of luggage. My uncle was driving his explorer and getting pissed when I only had fill up every other time he did.

a month after getting the G8 was when chicago got hit with the first large blizzard 3 years ago that shut down lake shore drive. I was in bloomington IL (2 hours from home) and got caught in it. Took me about 4 hours to get home but it just trucked right threw the snow. Besides the AWD equinox I have now it was the best car I drove in snow on the Stock RS-A tires.

If I could afford it I would have the G8 and the Camaro.

Id love to get that color! Stryker blue is my next pic. for the most part everything with in 400 miles that doesnt have 60K+ miles on it is red, black, and white. lol
