Pontiac Builds Excitement!

[Boss Hogg]

Nice ride. Are the rear brembo calipers a direct bolt on? My wife has a SRM GXP (M6). Been wanting to put brembos on the rear.

No, the rears are not a direct bolt on. The CTS-V calipers require Camaro SS Rotors ($70 takeoffs from SLP) and a $50 bracket. http://www.squashperformance.com/cat...products_id=55

Since the Camaro SS Rotors are larger, the parking brake no longer works. Shoes with a larger pad for the parking brake to work are ~$270.

I spent a little over grand for the entire setup (4 x calipers, pin kits, pads, rotors, bolts & SS lines).

Thats a bad ass car man, love the upgrades that you did to it. I wish Pontiac wasn't killed off. I would've love to see them come out with a retro firebird like GM did with the Camaro. Also I did like the hardtop Pontiac Solstice.

I don't know if I've said it in this thread already, but a G8 is the only GM product I'd buy outside a Corvette.

Car doesn't suck at all.

Just fine, but it's only been a few days. The tips are so far back that they won't get too hot.

How is the powdercoated exhaust holding up, David?

I'm going come check out your new GT, Rich. I love the new 5.0's

I'm usually home by 5p every day, stop by anytime. I'm on Stanford.

I have to say that is one nice looking fucken car man!
Im jealous!

[Boss Hogg]

Seen it. The story is that the guy buys G8s that are wrecked in the rear. He imports the rear section of the Ute and splices them together.

There it's a Ute for sale on Ebay

[crapstang]

I dig that pontiac a ton...do want!

This is what killed Pontiac.

That thing is badass. I don't think it ever came over here, but was (still is?) branded as a Holden Ute in Australia.
