All I can say is WOW.

After finaly have our car delivered to my wifes work on Friday and driving it over the weekend all I can say is man I love this car. The ride quality is better than I thought is was.( the test drive did not do it justice) all the amenities are so nice. Just the craftmanship of the interior is great and I'm so happy my wife walk away from the Lexus IS250. She is too she was so surrprised that the G was better than the IS. We both were also surprised on how much power the car has I know it states 306HP but feels likes its more that that and the DS mode is nuts!! acts like DSG shifts so fast it accully jerk me in the seat.( Only did this once car only has 185 miles on her). I can't wait to get to 1k miles and start to get on her more.

Ahh, I can attest to that.
Had the car about 2 weeks and already tinted the windows.

Was going to try and remain stock but after going to a meet this weekend I am sold on Tein Basic Coilovers (to raise and lower car in winter/summer as its a daily driver), new wheels (19 or 20"), and a Clear Bra to start out with. Will most likely add exhaust down the line.

So much for keeping the car stock.

I don't think you can find a wastegate that'll keep the boost low enough to 'only' get 400whp

GTM's kit at 9psi is roughly 470whp....

The auto tranny will be fine with a valvebody upgrade and cooler

Does anyone even offer twins for these yet. I was stoked on it when I first got mine in nov.06. I got tired of waiting for good hop ups for these. Still love the car just bored of waiting and kinda lost interest in the twins idea.

The valve body and cooler upgrade will be fine.. But I thought there were issues with the GTM Kit( Smoking) and did he post a price, I may have missed it.

That is just Terry's particular kit. There have been other installs of the kit that went without a hitch.

Keep in mind, Terry's car was the prototype
