Well i've been a die hard GM nut for a long time and i've been driving a 2009 G8 GT for awhile now and been happy with it, but this car came available and after one drive i was hooked, I drive ALOT for work and this car is just phenomenal, i can't say enough good things about it lol

I'm sure I'm speaking on behalf of everyone on the forums, but I'm glad you finally saw the light!

Was a Bowtie Guy for many years myself, even built an LT-1 for my Z28. Switched to BMW many years ago and haven't looked back.

Welcome and enjoy the Ride!

Had a Vette years ago and even drive a new GMC Sierra truck now. American quality just isnt in the same league.

bimdo · 05-10-2013, 09:57 PM

welcome,you're going to have a great time,i have the same car.i can't see your pics on my computer,you might try those again.

ZZebes · 05-10-2013, 10:22 PM

Appreciate it guys, i fixed the links, for some reason my IMGUR links were not working so i switched to photobucket

FVM3 · 05-10-2013, 10:25 PM

Marioalex24 · 05-10-2013, 10:48 PM

I feel you bro. I was or still am alil a big GM fan. I still support chevy in the NASCAR series. But after owning two camaro s, one was a z28 and a SS. I never looked after having my first e46 M3. You'll enjoy and welcome.

Big fan of the G8. It almost likes like it was the template for the current CTS-V. With that said, Welcome! The M3 is a pleasure to drive.

Was also sad to see the G8 go. I guess they're building a new car on the Holden platform that will just be called the SS.

Congrats and welcome to a fellow SSII E90 owner!

Welcome man! Glad you made the switch, the m3 is a whole different animal. BTW what track is that?

I heard that, but was disappointed when i saw that there was not going to be a manual option

That is the infield road course of Texas Motor Speedway

I was working an event there and meandered onto the road course on a break and snapped those pics

Alen E90 · 05-11-2013, 12:51 PM

congrats, SSII is a great color

ZZebes · 05-11-2013, 12:54 PM

Yes, Yes it is

The combo of SSII and Fox Red is just fantastic

mjposner · 05-11-2013, 01:05 PM

I had a G8 GT as well, great car, would still love to try a 6mt GXP, never one for sale here.

Nice car! Out of curiosity, how did you manage to get a track cleared to do that photo shoot?

lsmkr01 · 05-11-2013, 10:48 PM

Great color choice, welcome!

Timing, I was helping at an event that was being hosted on that infield circuit, and we had gone cold track because of a wreck, so I drove out to clean up some marker cones and check on the wreck and as I was walking back to my car I thought it would be a cool photo
