Sounds like one hell of a machine.

Did you manage to get any pics of the brakes on it?

Sorry, Nino I didn't. We came up with the shoot on pretty short notice, and that said I forgot some of the small details. They are very impressive though. You wouldn't think any factory brakes could fill out 19" wheels, but these do a pretty good job.

Looks like an excellent car, as well as article

I only fear it's too late for GM to produce a luxury sport car

Very impressive vehicle, and very well written Jacob.

I really wish the "foreign cars are better" stigma would wear off. This car is an amazing performer.

Thats cool. I have the parts guy researching the calipers for me. Im hoping they are bolt on to the G8. This could be an alternative to the stoptech's I was thinking of using.

Looks like a badass car though. I may have to go see if I can get a drive in one at some point.

Nino, when you get bored of the GXP Brembos, I'd be interested in taking them off your hands.
