Chest or Balt. If you on Balt you on my turf. Watch it, police try and blame you for your friend passing you and killing himself. I gotta go down to the station tomorrow to talk to the detective about that garbage tomorrow at 10.

get up biches!

ozthunder 10-25-2007 08:06 AM

I am lol

twistedlanes 10-25-2007 08:09 AM

I guess you'll do Lol..question for you since your here. What do you think of the Pontiac (hopefully coming soon so I can get one and I better be able to afford it!) G8?

CHAOS 10-25-2007 08:12 AM

the g8 is pretty nasty.

ozthunder 10-25-2007 08:13 AM

It'll never be as good as the abroad version, and this comes from personal experience. It'll be neutered, and anyone that doesn't believe that doesn't know GM and how they do things. The suspension will be softer, the bumpers will be Pontiac (ehhhh), and we'll never get their top HSV GTS/Vauxhall VXR8 version.

But it'll be a good car nonetheless; 6 speed tremec coming after launch (prolly second quarter next year).

twistedlanes 10-25-2007 08:17 AM

Isn't that why they have the gt? you mentioned the suspension being softer and there are obviously other things like power and lsd..blah..blah...bla. In the Gt version they are supposed to upgrade most of those parts right? Are you saying that even after they do that it still won't be as good as the abroad cousin?

Doesn't the U.S have tighter emmissions standards too?

ozthunder 10-25-2007 08:20 AM

No, the suspension in the HSV GTS uses magnetic waves to soften or harden it..we'll never see that. The GTO had a softer suspension due to the "roads" and "driver feel" of America; basically, we want a smoother ride, so they put in softer equipment. The G8 will follow suit, and you can quote me on that.

The GT will be getting 370hp I believe..even if it's not that, it's not the 4xx that the GTS gets (I think 405-10ish off the top of my head), and the rumored uber-Commodore with the LS7...if that happens, we'll never see it, b/c that will cannibalize stuff left and right (like a CTS V).

twistedlanes 10-25-2007 08:21 AM

doesn't that usually get overridden with some tuning and a few bolt-ons or offs Lol?

Didn't a few other cars have something like that? i'm thinking lexus and....my 87 maxima Lol.


But really I need to look into them more. I'm actually interested in the g8 as a potential first NEW car. Otherwise i'll just wait for maybe the challenger or something else that catches my eye.

ozthunder 10-25-2007 08:30 AM

Ferrari's have it..and I know a few others, but the development of the HSV version is fairly advanced.

Google HSV E-Series GTS for more info!


And don't quote me yet, but the G8 will outhandle a Challenger.

twistedlanes 10-25-2007 08:34 AM

the front is a little wild the interior is butter tho!

twistedlanes 10-25-2007 08:37 AM

ahhh..the senator signature series, what a beautiful car. If only it was a gts wrapped in signature series styling.

CHAOS 10-25-2007 08:37 AM

so far, nothing has topped the gto seats.

twistedlanes 10-25-2007 08:38 AM

did you see them?
