My Pontiac G8, and 2005 GTO.
Hey guys, I'm new here. Had a 2005 GTO, and now a 2008 G8 GT. I know how most feel about the GTO. I did love the car, however. It brought me to learn and respect the real old school GTOs. Now I go to car shows whenever I can. They both have a few bolt on mods. I know how most real Pontiac guys fell about the GTO, but how about the G8? Grocery getter? Family car? Lets hear it?

The G8 was a fantastic car. In usual GM fashion, when they get a product right, they discontinue the model, or the entire division in this sad case.

Thank you guys. I'm loving some of the rides I see on this page. I actually recently sold the GTO, and I do miss it. It's a very different car then the G8, but I love this G8 too, and it's only a couple tenths slower then the GTO was, so it's still fun. Thanks again for the welcome.

Welcome to the board. I am a big fan of the 06 GTO and the 08 and 09 G8. I owned both the G8 GT and a GXP. Sold the GXP and kept the GT which is now my wife's daily driver. Pontiac/Holden hit a home run with the G8 - too bad that GM gave them the ax.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
