I love those wheels, are they polished aluminum or chrome? To me they look like polished aluminum which I prefer over chrome.

Very nice, nearly identical wheels as the Z06 spider wheels.

Same Brembo calipers as on my 300 SRT8

looks nice but it doesnt seem to look much different than the regular GT. I could be missing the fine details. the stick shift looks much more natural in there and looks to be a short throw for an OEM piece.

that pricetag is very large considering GM is selling stuff at 1/3 off on brand new cars all over the country. for what you get, its still a great bargain.

My local dealer's sales critter looked at me like I was smoking crack when I aked when they are expecting the G8 GXP's to come in... He insisted that I ment G8 GT LOL!!! I just walked away shaking my head wondering why these guys are the last to know about what they are selling.

To answer your question, nothing plain and simple.
Congrats on the car and thank God they put the 6-spd in.

Sweet looking ride.

Congrats on one of the finest four door sports sedans GM ever put out.
