Well I don't own one, but I did test drive one before buying our G8GT, In comparesion to my Wife's 99 GTP it seemed to lack low end, but it did feel strong on a mid range run up a freeway onramp. One thing we considered was MPG, and there really wasn't much to chose from. If you do mostly city driving you will probebly get better MPG with the V-6, but the 6.0 and 6.2 V-8's have a 6-speed trans (compared to the 5-speed on the V-6) and the V-8's also drop cylinders at highway speed to increase MPG. So the highway MPG is about the same. Also the insurance costs was only $32.00 a year cheaper for the V-6. And at the time the purchase price for our Stripper GT and a loaded V-6 sedan was basicly the same. So we decided to go with the 6.0 liter V-8 GT.

One thing to consider also if you decide on a GT or GTP they do not come with spare tires or the jacking tools. The V-6 cars do come with them. So for piece of mind I ended up buying a 10,000 mile full size wheel and tire (yes a full size wheel fits in the spare tire well) and the stock jack/wheel changing kit from a vender. both cost me under $400.00 total.

Either way you will probebly really enjoy the car if you buy one. We love ours, and so far the only issue we have had was the onstar back up battery failed, and was replaced free of charge.
