I thought the interior was a step up from what I had in my 2005 GT and even in my 2007 GT500. It seemed like a much quieter car that the previous models, too.

As for performance, that's really hard for me to comment on. When you drive a 650+rwhp car every day, almost anything you drive is going to seem lethargic in comparison. However, I will say the car seemed to have a little more grunt running through the gears than I remember my 2005 having. I'd say the overall handling was better than my GT500 was stock and leaps and bounds better than the 2005 GT.
I will say this I have driven my friends 08 and it is quicker, quieter and more agile in my opinion

Seriously though good show, well done and thank you for sparing with me it really helped get me through a boring day at work....I mean seriously it was mind numbingly boring day. How did you like me throwing that old POS buick in on the second post? I thought that was pretty funny, figured it would have been better for a laugh but oh well.
My wife used to have one and I seriously killed the car one day when I pressed the button to turn the radio on...like dead, would not restart.
