Pics of your hooptie (G8 owners)

Thought I would go ahead and kick this off since I had not introduced myself yet and mostly troll the for sale section since our platforms are fairly similar.

ah man... that's exactly the car I wanted to get.. color and all... before the Camaro... I LOVE IT!

Is that the V6? GT? or GXP? I can't tell from the angles.

Looks to be a GT.

TheCaptain · 03-01-2012, 09:22 AM

Clear taillights indicate its a GT. I can't remember the differences between a GT and a GXP (visually).

That is my fav colour of G8! It looks beautiful!

Thanks for the comliments!!

Aesthetically, differences in the GT and GXP are the front bumper, rims, front brembo brakes (I have the CTS-V conversion on mine), rear diffuser, GXP embroidery on the seats and the badging that goes on the car. I just wish they would have made this car with a manual option.

That's a sweet car.
I almost bought one last year.

There is currently a GXP for sale out of Hawaii that has only 1,016 miles on it.

Very nice! Love the Stryker Blue....a rare color I believe!

Manual GTs were in the works if I recall correctly. Died with Pontiac.

rocket69GTP · 03-01-2012, 10:46 AM

^^Slang term for your ride.

FenwickHockey65 · 03-01-2012, 10:49 AM

Regional thing? I've never once heard that.

rocket69GTP · 03-01-2012, 12:04 PM

I heard this from a forum based out of Chicago so not a regional thing :dunno:
