Thanks,
The sun was overhead, almost noon. I also had the camera setting wrong. Pics do no justice to the car. The car was detailed before delivery and was like a mirror as well.

Well, I was so excited to get some pics I didn't check the camera settings.
I hope to get the GTO and G8 cleaned up to take some decent pics soon.

No, I kept the goat. I've bounced back and forth on removing the spoiler.

Nice color. If that had been offered in 08 it would have been a tough choice between it and the Ignition Orange Metallic. That new deep red color is nice too. | |

Other than Black, the Ignition Orange was the only other 08 color I originally considered. I've since seen most G8 colors in person and I was surprised how good each color looked.
+1 on the Sport Red. It was on the short list when it was time to buy.

Since you still own both, I've got to ask some questions since I've been checking out GTOs, and G8s. Which car feels faster, handles better, etc.? Basically, is the 6.0 L33 faster than the LS1 in real life?

Either way, BOTH are wonderful cars. Quote:
