Anyone else here have one these fine 4 door cars, please chime in.

I test drove one. It was very nice. Fast for a big car too! I like the silver color too.
 
a buddy of mine has one. nice cars for sure he has been low 11's at almost 125 with his and should be in the 10's next time out...i like the look of the cars for sure
 
GM does have a winner with the G8. Consumer Guide Best Buy. Have 16 new 09 G8s in stock ready to go! 415 hp GXP anyone?:eek:
 
the G8 is a beautiful car, inside and out!!! would really like to replace my wife's '01 GTP with a G8, but not right now.
 
Yes, as Ronbuick, how about yourself??
85GN, what has your buddy done to his to make it run like that, all I've done
so far is install a OPG CAI from down under, nice kit for the money and a oil catch can from Jamesbiz, similar to a condsensator but made from billet alum.

I seen the video of that one, and it also has some very interesting turbos, they are all self contained needing no oil supply or return lines or water lines, something like that for our cars would be great or at least I was thinking that,
what are your guys thoughts on those turbos??

Ron
 
I did a search on them an didn't find much info. If they work right they could be an interesting replacement on a Buick.
 
ronbuick go to youtube and look up TuneTimePerformance, the owner of that place is a good buddy of mine...i beleive at one time he was the fastest and was also featured in GMHTP when it was going low 12's but not sure if anyone has dipped into the 10's last i heard no one has yet. i beleive he has a magna charger, headers, convertor, tires and a killer tune but thats all i can think of of the top of my head i know when it was bone stock and with just a tune and 100 shot he was going low 12's when it only had about 200miles on the odometer
 
I actually just bought an '09 GT about a month ago, it's an awesome car! I got the black and red interior which I think looks awesome. Car's definitly pretty fast stock for a big car.

What kind of mileage are you getting?
 
I have not really checked the mileage, but by doing the math in my tiny brain win I fill up and reset the trip anywhere from 19-23, not bad really for a big sedan with a V-8, and I really think a torque converter will really wake the car
up, but I will keep it like it is for what it is, a powerful road car, IMHO.

Gotta love the 09 GXP with the 6 speed stick and 415hp/415tq.
 
i test drove an 09 what a nice car drives well handles nice and runs GOOD! I sold the gtp last fall id like to get one this spring.
 
I've been averaging probably around 20 or so, like mentioned above. It could be 18 or it could be 24 (I have actually seen 24 in mine). I think it's pretty impressive mileage, especially the way it's been driven the whole time I've had it. Stop and go traffic through Dallas, and then get to open it up every now and then. This car will get up and go for sure!
 
Watching The Marine movie on FX and just saw my first advertisement
of a G8 GT on tv, pretty cool.
