Hello Everybody,

It was a long hike but I finally made it. I have a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT and I was shopping to replace it with Chevy SS, Focus RS, or a Fusion Sport but I couldn't part with it with everything I had in it. The perfect (hopefully) solution ended up being a 2017 Magnetic FiST and keeping the G8. I'm looking forward to learning a lot from you guys.

George

WELCOME and CONGRATS!

What kind of mods are done to the G8 (any internal engine mods; heads/cam, etc.)?
Pedders suspension parts, Pfadt dampers, etc.?

I had a 4th gen LS1 Z28 before this car, so I know how hard it is to give up that RWD, naturally aspirated, V-8 bottom end torque, and the LS series engines had power on the top end as well! [burnout] [driving]

Hi M-Sport fan,

Yanked from my signature on g8board:

Solo cat back exhaust, Rotofab intake, VMAX ported TB, RCR modified intake, VMS tune, Koni struts/shocks, Tein springs, Pedders sway bars, GPS center stack trim, Front CTS-V brakes with Camaro rotors.

Definitely have to love the LS motors. It's fun having a foot in both worlds.

Slushbox, or TR6060 (or were they only available in the GXPs)??

Slushbox unfortunately but my TCM is tuned. It shifts hard which I love. You are correct, manuals were only available in the GXP unless a swap is done.
