The car runs solid with no issues. The car has never been to a race track or drag raced or anything like that just normal spirited driving. When I purchased the car about 3 years ago it was a certified pre-owned car and had a warranty which has since expired but this means the car was gone through with a fine tooth comb by a GM dealer just 14,000 miles ago!

2008 GXP 2.0l turbo engine
5 speed manual transmission
Limited slip differential
Black exterior & black top with Premium Acoustic Headliner
Black leather interior (seats, shift knob, steering wheel) with power height adjust on driver seat

I have the manuals and all service records for the car, it needs nothing right now

Mods on the car (Everything below was done within the last 5,000-10,000 miles except the tune)
GMPP stage 2 tune 290 hp 340 ft lb tq (20-22 lbs boost) (done at about 35,000 miles by GM dealer)
Replaced stock silver headlights with the all black Street Edition Headlights from 2009 (brand new not used parts)
Silverstar headlight bulbs (for a more white color headlight)
Added the Bluetooth On-star module from a 2009 (still have stock one if you wanted to revert and remove Bluetooth)
Optima dry redtop battery (last longer, better voltage, will never leak, can handle vibration unlike standard battery)
DDM Backbone mid brace (the middle thickness of the 3 they make, still have stock thin one if you want to revert)
DDM Probeam rear brace (makes a huge difference in handling)
DDM Venom front brace (made a considerable difference in handling)
BC adjustable coilovers (can adjust ride height as well as the firmness of ride easily, still have stock shocks if you want to revert and sell coilovers)
Staggered 18x9 rear & 18x8 front OZ wheels (just 16lbs each that is 10lbs each lighter than stock, these are made in Italy & have NO CURB RASH AT ALL)
Hankook EVO v12 275/40 rear & Hankook EVO v12 245/45 front (still have 80-90% of tire tread and grip way better than the stock tires did)
Debadged back of car (removed “solstice”, “GXP” and Pontiac arrow, chrome pieces on back)
tinted front blinkers and rear tail lights (looks so nice on black car black car & light still gets through just fine)
blacked out the A-pillar around the front window as well as the 3 Pontiac arrows with plastidip (easily removed if you want to go back to silver)
Shorty antenna (still have the stock one if you want it)
Modified stock Airbox w/K&N washable filter (removed front noise baffling for better air intake and more turbo noise)
One step colder NGK iridium sparkplugs
20 gorilla lock nuts (to protect the OZ wheels from thieves)
T-bolt clamp upgrade (all clamps replaced with stronger t-bolt clamps so no boost pressure leaks out)
Car cover (the car is black, you need it!)

I have both original keys and remotes and the car has never been smoked in.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Pontiac 6000 LE

Sat, Dec 2 2017

Sibling to the Chevrolet Celebrity and Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, the Pontiac 6000 sold pretty well during the early-to-middle 1980s, but had been relegated to the dealership bargain bin and fleet-car cul-de-sac by the time of Operation Desert Shield. Here's a final-year-of-manufacture 6000 LE that I photographed in an Arizona self-service wrecking yard. This car was sold new in Arizona, and it will be crushed in the same state, 26 years later. The LE was the cheapest trim level for the 6000 in 1991, but the original purchaser of this car sprang for a few options. For example, instead of the utterly miserable 2.5-liter Iron Duke four-cylinder, this car packs the 3.1-liter V6. That meant 140 horsepower instead of 110, plus an engine note more like a vacuum cleaner sucking up a spaghetti spill than an ailing blender chewing on walnuts. AM, FM, and cassette. Not only that, but the auto-reverse feature meant that your mixtape cassette wouldn't stop right in the middle of your favorite Roxette tune. This content is hosted by a third party.

Even the wretched Daewoo-built Pontiac LeMans gets more screen time than the forgotten 6000 in this 1991 TV ad featuring the voice of Captain Picard.

2.1 million vehicles recalled again over faulty airbags

Sat, Jan 31 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda and Toyota will recall 2.1 million vehicles to fix faulty airbag modules "after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles." These vehicles had all previously been recalled, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the airbags could still potentially malfunction. This recall will cover Acura MDX, Dodge Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Odyssey, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix and Toyota Avalon models made in the early 2000s. NHTSA has reportedly received about 40 reports of airbag deployment in such vehicles, even though the vehicle had not been involved in a crash. Roughly one million of these same vehicles, all from Honda and Toyota, are also subject to recalls due to faulty Takata airbag modules, though this particular recall is for "an electronic component manufactured by TRW" that is separate from the actual airbags from Takata. According to NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind: "This is unfortunately a complicated issue for consumers, who may have to return to their dealer more than once. But this is an urgent safety issue, and all consumers with vehicles covered by the previous recalls should have that remedy installed. Even though it's a temporary solution until the new remedy is available, they and their families will be safer if they take the time to learn if their vehicle is covered and follow their manufacturers' instructions. A hassle is much better than a family tragedy." If you're the owner of an affected car, expect to hear more from the official automaker and government channels in short order. In the meantime, we'd suggest getting your car checked and fixed at your local dealer. The official statement and recall information can be found below. Previously Recalled Vehicle Remedies Not Working as Designed; NHTSA Announces Follow up Recall of 2.12 Million Cars and SUVs Saturday, January 31, 2015 Contact: Gordon Trowbridge, 202-366-9550, Public.Affairs@dot.gov WASHINGTON – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced today the recall of more than 2.12 million Acura, Dodge, Jeep, Honda, Pontiac, and Toyota vehicles for a defect that may cause airbags to deploy inadvertently. The recalls will provide vehicle owners with a new remedy after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
