yeah i think it's awesome you guys get this car.. it's a great platform. The Supercharged G8 version is a beast as we don't get this over here as an option.. you can however go aftermarket with some nice twin screw superchargers.

Thanks for the comments ;)

I'm really loving the design of those wheels. Very nice looking ride!

I'd definitely look forward to seeing a full shoot of this car. Very cool.

+1 I would love to have those wheels on my G8 :drool:

[AusCurt]

The wheels were silver originally..

Had them painted in Chrome Shadow..

:thumb: i love the aussie LSx cars, the color combo looks great with the red pin stripe on the rims

[JayplaySS3]

Wow, I love the red lines on the tires/wheels. Nice car

[Kingcater]

Amazing!!!! Nice color choice as well

[AusCurt]

Bit of an update, just threw in these new Pedders XA Extreme Coilovers
into the car and all I can say is what a transformation! The car turns in so much better, gets off the line smoother and has reduced axle tramp quite significantly..

I had shorter shocks and King Springs in the car prior to this and could not believe the difference over the two setups.. no more crunching out over bumps!
With full height adjustment, and 30 settings for hard and soft at just
over $2k Aussie you can't go wrong..

Thanks for everyones comments.. I've run mid 12's down the qtr mile.. very hard to get these things off the line on stock rubber.. next run will be with
some sort of semi slick on the back.. problem is finding a wheel to now fit over the rear brakes.. 18" is the smallest I can get on the back now.. but yeah as a street/strip car it's just right :)

[STiG]

Yeah... That car is badass. :chug:

[LEO]

Good looking car, nice upgrades.:cheers:

[Ragtop 99]
