Appears to be the GMPP Air Intake kit. link

What's the GM Performance Parts sticker for under the hood? Did you get a performance air intake/airbox installed?

What is GM's strategy for making bluetooth integration available on all models sold in North America to make them competitive with other manufacturers? (OnStar does not equal bluetooth!)

Option 1 Option 2 Option 3

OK, how 'bout something like this combined with this ?

Not perfect, but a start. link

If it helps, the PMD center caps I have for the Pontiac Rally IIs (1968) are 2 3/4" in diameter. That's the bolt-on repro cap anyway...I had to pull them off and find an NOS set because the repro's didn't clear the dust cap on my front wheel hubs. Front discs likely wouldn't be a problem with that design.

How 'bout something like this? link

Sunroof appears to be a product of Webasto (same as the G6). link

Nice truck! Does ordering the 6.0 liter just get you the motor or did it add the rest of the MAX package as well (rear disc brakes, beefier rear axle, etc)?

SUV with mind of its own wins robot car race Sun Nov 4, 2007 4:03pm EST By Peter Henderson VICTORVILLE, California (Reuters) - A souped-up Chevy Tahoe sports utility vehicle with a mind of its own was declared the winner of a robot car race on Sunday after it traveled without help from humans for six hours and 60 miles around a California ghost town. Nicknamed Boss, the vehicle from Carnegie Mellon University of Pittsburgh won a $2 million prize in the third such race sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense, which wants robots eventually to drive military supply vehicles. The entrants -- including station wagons and a huge green military truck all decked out with flashing lights, warning sirens, spinning laser range finders and cameras -- looked like mini-versions of the "monster" trucks that duel at arenas around the United States. Only six vehicles out of 11 finalists finished the course on an abandoned military base on Saturday. The winners were determined overnight based on safety as well as speed. Stanford University, which won a 2005 race, came in second and Virginia Tech finished third. "Yesterday (was) a very historic day," said Tony Tether, director of the defense department's research agency, after handing out checks on Sunday as the winning cars, with humans at the wheel, took off for a victory spin. The effort has brought together some of the top talents at U.S. universities and corporations to work on a big technology challenge. Science fans have followed the robots' progress avidly, but the biggest benefits are in the future. The U.S. military aims to put robots behind the wheel of supply vehicles -- with a goal of making a third of its supply fleet robotic by 2015 -- to keep soldiers out of danger. And automakers see intelligent cars helping people drive and eventually taking over the task altogether for better safety and comfort. Article Continued

Can I ask the seemingly obvious question: Why didn't you just buy Camino's GTO when he was selling it a few months ago?

I'd worry about something more basic like BLUETOOTH capability before worrying about offering NAV.

Autoblog has more pics and a video where you can hear the motor. LINK

How 'bout this one ? It's in PA! They have a Corvette LT1 with 6-speed trans too...

Will the wagon be getting resprayed the same silver color? Staying stock other than the wheels?

Ooooh, I like it! Thanks for the find GMTG! The Denali molding makes it look a lot better in red. I can't wait to see an Extended Cab. I've been checking local inventory and no one has one I can see yet.

I drive my 6 speed manual in freeway gridlock, traffic and stop lights every day. If GM doesn't want my money, I'm sure BMW won't mind taking it again when the time comes. Catering to the lowest common denominator and dumbing down their products as a strategy hasn't exactly helped GM in the sales department. RWD with a manual trans has become a differentiating characteristic that some people (like me) are willing to pay a premium to get. And if everyone drove a stick, there wouldn't be gridlock! (everyone would be motivated to keep moving) Put down the bagel, coffee and cell phone and concentrate on driving the damn car! (and quit putzing along in the left lane)

How 'bout this ?

Neat. What color will the wheels be?

This does eerily remind me of the GM truck tailgate cable situation. Both cables on my tailgate snapped while I was standing on it loading my snowblower into the bed. The recall letter arrived the same week. The GMC dealer replaced the cables as part of the recall, but didn't do sh*t about the crease in my tailgate caused when the cables snapped and impacted into the bumper. Don't even get me started on the ABS sensors...even after they were replaced, the brakes still suck. Toyota screwed up, but GM had their fare share of dumb moves too.

Found this from a GT500 review: link

The Nov Motor Trend article said the G8 GT would use a Tremec 6060 6-speed manual paired with the Gen-IV 6.0 liter. Is that the "improved" model? From Wikipedia (TR-6060): The gear ratios on the 2008 Pontiac G8 GT: 1st: 3.01 2nd: 2.07 3rd: 1.43 4th: 1.00 5th: 0.84 6th: 0.57 Applications: * 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (remote mount shifter with dual braces and single linkage) * 2008 Chevrolet Corvette * 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 * 2008 Dodge Challenger * 2008 Pontiac G8 GT
