got to remember, it's a 6spd Auto and an IRS rear end.
2 more 'gears' and 'stuff' to turn in the auto and thought the IRS was more difficult to turn as well.....and I did not look under it to see the exhaust system but I am sure there is opportunity there as well....

it ran 8.75 last night at the local drag strip :D

lol.....just an extra pair of door and lots of leg room behind the driver.

The G8's are heavy but run very well for what they are

I agree. I hope to own one sometime but it will be when there are some used ones, not going to pay sticker for one to go beat on...
