Hey G6P!
Name is Connor and last October I picked up a 2007 G6 GT. My profile pic is the first night I saw her. This is my second car (only 19 years old), not only my second car, my second Pontiac, before this i purchased a 2002 Pontiac sunfire. I had been shopping around for a few months because it was getting close to my birthday and i felt the need to reward myself for being the youngest Harley Davidson salesman in the country! aha so naturally im 19 and wanted a sports coupe of some sort, but when i saw this on the lot...whew... I knew that was the one. This particular one is a 3.9L lz9 four door sedan, and its got every option on it except remote start ( however only due to the fact that its a six-speed manual). I know a thing or two about cars, and more than that about bikes, but I've got big plans for my 6! so far the collective of anything ive done was just a clutch cable replacement in march, and i replaced the stock resonator with a 32 inch thrush glass pack. Theres a laundry list of things to do for me to ever be satisfied with this car heres just a few:
Second half of exhaust: option 1) cut the silencer off the glasspack and let the glass pack be the exhaust ( would leave silencer on so the tips still show)
option 2) replace the silencer with a flowmaster 80 series, so it flows from glass pack to flowmaster
Spyder projection halo's: the chrome ones, led turn signals, 6000k HID lows, undecided on highs and fogs(taking suggestions)
LED Tail lights: this is a maybe, really depends on what products i can find, haven't seen much out there as of yet
Third Brake light vinyl: just so people behind me understand in lighting that its a g6...lol
ice white interior led's for the dome and map lights
as far as interior goes, eventually ill get g6 floor mats, was thinking about nice seat covers with a red insert in the center, looking into trim options as far as the pieces around the radio and on the door and the wheel( i enjoy carbon fiber, but i dont want to wrap my interior in it, might be a little too try hard)
definitely want to do the badges, either a gray that matches the paint or a black maybe
been on the lookout for a used car dealer with a g6 gt on the lot, Im going to try to trade them my rims and maybe some cash for the chrome gt or gxp rims, but i would have to take my tires, cause the dealer i bought it from put brand new hankook high performance summer tires on it for no reason
gonna do the trim in between the door posts in chrome
already have plans in the works for the cold air intake, apparently the cai is a match to the 3.9L and doesnt need any tweaking for it to work properly with that engines fuel management and other delicate electronically controlled functions
tints are going to happen, i want a fairly reflective titanium tint if i can find it around here, that way i wont have to go too dark with it because the reflective film would help a lot
it may sound like im doing a lot by the way of looks and not performance, but there is an added this is my daily driver factor, with the maybe 255 hp it has it slips the tires if im pulling into traffic and i need to high tail it
OH big one, need to get rid of the limiter...these cars are easily capable of the 140 on the speedo, its a shame they gotta cut these cars off at the balls, so if anyone has insight into that it would be appreciated
so thats that, ive got a lot to do on this car, and im still half and half on upgrading the sound system, partially because i dont want to give up a six cd changer
im from central CT and at this time i work for a home security firm as a resoloutions manager, feel free to ask me questions, i do have a fair amount of insight into this car. there are a lot of interesting things about G6's, i personally believe this is a cut above the midsize sedan market, theres almost nothing to complain about( cough* cupholder placement on a manual) but these dont get the recognition they deserve, a stock 3.9L GT will smoke a subaru sti, evos, bmw 3 series and m3's, and my personal favorite to smoke is my friends mini cooper S, for the record, 3.9L GT models will do 0-60 according to the factory in 6.2 seconds, which is a full second faster than almost anything else in this class of sedan, its a second faster to 60 and a second faster on a quarter mile than a mini cooper S.
LEND ME YOUR OPINIONS ON ANYTHING SEEN ABOVE, I am ecstatic to talk to other G6'ers because i dont know anyone who owns one besides me
overall pontiac g6 gt: interior 8/10 exterior 7/10 performance 8/10( for what it is) ride comfort and quality 9/10........but that ability of the gt models suspension is that unlike anything ive seen on a car thats worth less than 40g's my parents have an acura TSX that doesnt stick to the road or stay as flat as my 6
