Did the G8's coming with beefer half shafts then the GTO? If they didnt then if your idea of keeping it stock is the same as mine i'd invest in some lol I plan on grabbing some this spring if the other car doesn't start to work its way back together lol. Its the only thing keeping me from throwing the DR's on it this spring o an the clutch lol.

not sure on the half shafts but....when i say stock, power wise its staying stock. im tired of the whole mod thing right now. i will be doing the suspension with some coilovers, Baer brake kit, wheels and a CAI and that'll be the extent of the mods. i have the TT to beat around on when i get the speed bug.

all G8 GT's are 6 speed autos. only the GXP models can come with an optional 6 speed manual.

Gotcha I'm probably the other way around simple mods no appearence this time around god forbid i miss washing the car one weekend the next one i'll pay for it lol that an going over speed bumps that wasnt fun either lol. I'm still trying to figure out what CAI i wanna grab the one everyone says is the best makes you cut your shroud which i'd prefer not too. I'm sure if my camaro was done i'd have no urge to play with the GTO either an probably do the same thing some wheels brakes an suspension lol.
