I was car shopping 10yrs ago and I let a dealer talk me out of buying G8 GT. He was tellin me all the "problems" they have. And how hard it is to get parts and all this other bs....pretty sure he wanted it either for himself or a family member. Ended up getting a Grand Prix which I still have and has treated me extremely well over the years. STILL luv the G8's tho! Awesome car, bro. Wanna sell it?

Very nice example. New subscriber. I didn't even know about the Firehawk until maybe a month ago. I recently flew down and picked up an '09 G8 GT Memorial Day weekend and drove it back from Arlington, Texas. Mine, or my wife's rather, is the Maverick Silver Metallic. It only had 47,000 original miles on it. I just this week installed a tune and removed the AFM/DOD. I've researched and read about oil consumption and damaged and failing lifters. I bought it for its 6.0L V8. If I wanted a four cylinder, then I would buy one. LOL. I just installed a VCM OTR intake this evening. These cars were so unappreciated when they were new, but those that recognize them know what it's all about. We handed down our '08 G6 GT to my 16 year old daughter. Sense a trend here? The gentlemen I purchased the G8 from was in his late 70's and owned all four generations of Transam at one time. This was his last Pontiac.

Just a heads up the lifters will still fail with DOD turned off. You just disabled the feature but the parts are still there.

Nice Firehawk! I have an IOM 08 GT that is cammed, Magnuson supercharged, etc. Luckily, my headliner is still perfect. I've heard that the headliner detaches on the car's with sunroofs much sooner than the ones that don't.

The engine runs fine, I don't see a reason to look at it. I might remove the DOD in the future. I don't understand what you mean by being phased out the second time, GM killed Pontiac in 2009.

IMO the 92 is the best Firehawk. I have an 01 and I absolutely love it. The G8 Firehawks are, to me, a totally different beast. Fantastic nonetheless, super rare, huge power, so glad Pontiac put this out before they left. They would not go quietly into the night! Cherish that my friend, those are gonna be $$$ soon!
