Chevrolet SS is where its at these days.
G8's are last decades news.
Maybe to you guys here the SS is where it's at, but to the guys in the states the SS isn't exactly loved. A lot of people still prefer the G8 over it. Not saying the SS isn't a bad car, but currently it's not at the top of peoples "to buy list"G8's are last decades news.

Hmm, not really sure where that's at. I lived in Titusville for awhile, on the coast east of Orlando. Grew up outside of Key West though. There's decent car scenes around there, and several tracks. A lot of import nonsense though. Lambo doors, major camber, etc.hammo19 said:
Arrived yesterday for a holiday in Florida - off hunting G8s later. Will post pics of any interesting cars. We have a Nissan Altima hire car with wheel trims this time.
Saw the new convertible Corvette at the hire car garage wow that's a looker.
Didn't have to run off to the US of A to find G8's. There are G8's in the UK.Saw the new convertible Corvette at the hire car garage wow that's a looker.

Not far from Kissimmee - we are off to visit Don Garlitts Drag Museum at Ocala that's off towards Titusville I think
Haven't been to that museum, but Ocala is a pretty nice place, at least years ago when I visited it. More central though, Titusville is right on the coast by NASA.Rescue56 said:

Really? Apart from the badge, I would have thought they were the same. 
Maybe as a country you just don't like change - a bit like the N/A crowd on here.

Most of the dislike is in the style. It has a lot of plus sides, but lacks the aggressive styling off the lot. As far as a country liking change, we love it. Hence why we can get 3G, and wifi anywhere we go. And roads that lack pot holes, because we constantly change them into new roads haha.

BTW, that wasn't a pop at the US, but a friendly jibe on here at some of the N/A crowd.

Probably the same as most on here, not liking the Euro-box styling of the rear on the VF.

Yeah, those subtle changes to a car can ruin everything (for some)BTW, that wasn't a pop at the US, but a friendly jibe on here at some of the N/A crowd.
No worries, I didn't take it offensively. I support both N/A and boosting crowds. I love them both, and wish our versions at least came with the option.

They're all from Upside-Down land so they're all good!
We would like even the LS3 in the SS. Ok, we do have the HSV with the LS3 and LSA. Mind you the VF Senator looks nice too!
Picked up a Pontiac G8 workshop manual a few months back, cost a bit, but has everything in it.
