Re: Ackattack's Pro touring restoration thread

With the truck being gone for awhile and having sold the corvette about a month and a half ago, I got bored with my vehicles at home....so I went and did it. I bought a new Pontiac G8 GT.

OK, the real reason I got it was because my Jetta TDI is just too small for the rear facing kid seat and us to sit in it comfortably. (the first reason sounds cooler though )

Some people haven't even heard of a G8. Basically it's a full size 4 door car that looks great, could sit 5 adults comfortably. The GT model comes with a 6.0L L76 engine (similar to the LS2 but with active fuel management, different heads and a few other things) that makes 361 HP!

There is also the GXP model that has a 415HP LS3 in it. I decided to pass on the GXP.

I'll throw some pics up later. Hopefully I can also get some pics of the progress on the truck from my paint guy.
