2min vid of G8 on the road! MUST SEE!

Can't belive that this is out already, but here it is. He only romps it once, but it sounds GOOD! Can't wait to get a set of Magnaflows on this puppy!

Very nice. RED does the G8 well. When the engine does rev its sounds nice.

Too bad he didn't nail it from a stop. That would have been more amusing and fun to see.

That video about drove me up a wall until I heard them boot it and could finally turn off the volume. Whomever that was, needs a new chase car!

The profile really reminds me of the new 5-series and even a bit of A6 from various angles.

So much for whoever said the silver car at Chicago was "the only G8 in existence"...

The car needs work, IMO. Though from what I've heard some things will be added to it, so it won't look as bland.

I think it looks fine. The only things it needs added are an LS2 and a manual transmission.

Honestly, as a daily driver sedan, I have no issue with it having an L76. A torquey, efficient V8, that requires nothing more than 87 octane to run optimally.

The manual trans is a prerequisite however.

Good God. I never realized the back end was that ugly.
