    Tune is a little harsh light throttle shifting into 2nd and 3rd.. otherwise very happy. Barking the tires into 2nd at WOT was fun.

    Are you the sport red? I think I've only seen one BCM G8, and that was a good 3-4 years ago.

    Yeah, they came on it. Between my expectation of tire cost and harsh ride I never would have gone with 20s, but I've been pleasantly surprised with how well it rides, and after looking into tires, they're cheaper than 19s.

    I have the stock 18s for snows if that's the direction I end up going.. so we'll see how that plays out.

    You can get your Ford in any color you want, as long as it's black.

    Nothing serious for now, just intake and exhaust. I'll probably cam it with my annual bonus in a year or 2. The DOD parts need to come out sooner or later anyway.

    Which tune did you go with? I just did a Pat G tune on mine this weekend, and it's a world of difference already!

    A buddy of mine who has a twin turbo 403 G8 helped me with it. The stock trans tune definitely leaves plenty to be desired.

    I've been searching for a nice low mileage G8 for awhile, but I'm looking for something impossibly specific and rare. An '09 GXP, white, auto, charcoal interior, Nav, and a moonroof. I'd probably go for a black one, too. How can you turn down something with a name like 'Panther Black Metallic', lol.
    Nice ride!

    I don't believe a NAV is available in them at all, but theres a ridiculously expensive interior piece you can buy to integrate a garmin. When I was shopping I was tripping over black cars.

    A buddy of mine is selling a white no sunroof GXP for pretty cheap. 130K on it for $20500. I can't imagine why you'd buy a GXP in auto... just get a GT unless you get a manual. For the price premium you'll end up with a way faster car spending the same money on go-fast parts.

    Because I want the GXP trim level, and my wife will be driving it every now and then who hates/sucks at driving manual. I also hate being stuck in rush hour every day with a manual...so I'm opting for the auto. I think I saw that white G8 for sale online, but want something with a lot less miles. I know I'll be paying ~$30k for what I want....but life is short

    I'd never buy a GXP auto. For the same money spent on go-fast parts on a GT you'd be way ahead. LSA supercharger, cam package, full exhaust and a suspension upgrades, and all for less than a GXP out of the box...
