Well, just to make sure I had all my bases covered, I scored this new 1320 today... maybe I should start buying some more cars to put all these superchargers on?

JantzenOKC · 12-11-2014, 10:11 PM

Damn, you are a supercharger hoarder!

Jason@JacFab · 01-09-2015, 04:59 PM

Well, I can't say that this isn't going to happen, but it's never going to make it into my car. I bought a G8 GT yesterday, and will be demodding my Camaro to sell sometime in the next few months.

I do plan to keep my extra LFX engine at the moment so as time permits, I may still try to come up with a bolt on setup for one of the 3 superchargers I have... I may end up putting the engine in a rat rod I'm (slowly) starting to build.

I've got one more non-supercharger related trick up my sleeve for the LFX to try out before I send the Camaro down the road. Time will tell if it's a worthwhile trick or not.

Whaaaaaat? Pics or it didn't happen...

Jk man, that's awesome I like the G8's. Congrats, let's see it!

Well, don't go anywhere. I want to see what you come up with for the G8.

I almost jumped ship for a G8 as well. Bad ass grocery getter!

Jason@JacFab · 01-10-2015, 08:55 PM

I'll still be around. Probably won't make anything myself for the g8, it's all been done before. Just buy it off the shelf.

Firefighter · 01-10-2015, 09:02 PM

G8's are nice. I bought a sweet PBM '09 GT with 10K miles on it for my wife back in July. It's been great. You'll love it.

That's nice! I was looking at a G8 GXP not to long ago. Love then cars also.

Firefighter · 01-11-2015, 08:27 AM

I wanted an SS until I saw the almost $50K price tag. I have no regrets about saving $25K for almost the same car. My only complaint is the stereo but that can be fixed.

That's a sweet ride Jason. I know you'll have a lot of fun with it.

JantzenOKC · 01-12-2015, 08:10 PM

Bad ass!! Love the white

I really wanted a 15 M6 SS, but after a lot of though, even though I could technically afford it, I didn't think it would be financially responsible at the moment to buy (finance) one... I started looking at GXP's and they're still priced around new Camaro prices for the most part. After a little more serious thought, I decided a G8 GT would suffice, and I can throw a little bit of $$ at it and waste damn near any NA SS or GXP for a fraction of the cost of either.

I'll be selling most of my Camaro parts horde, to include all of LF3 parts if anyone is interested in anything I might have (including the audi blower

)

I'm pretty happy with the car so far... It's pretty nice to be able to turn my head when changing lanes and actually see something again.

Firefighter · 01-13-2015, 08:36 AM

I'm sure you looked into the car and know about the major mods. It responds similar to a Camaro in many aspects.

The main thing I'm doing to mine for the wife is brakes. I'm completely spoiled with the 6/4 Brembo setup I have.

The first gen CTS-V brakes are a bolt on up front and with a little bit of adapting you can do the rears. All using Camaro rotors.

There is the possibility of using the new SS rear rotors too.
