I have a Pontiac G5 Gt sedan and I love it. For mods you should do air intake and exhaust, they should net you about 15whp. Heres my cardomain site for my car.

If you aren't buying used.. remember the 2008 SS turbocharged will be coming out in a sedan version in the coming months...

I thought he said sedan? White looks like a rental car on a sedan IMO. The purple is a no go because....well its purple! Silver you CAN NOT go wrong with! VERY SEXY! Black is PRETTY but a BITCH to keep clean! Orange is a coupe color IMO and just seems out of place on the sedan.

Here's alink to my 2008 January car of the month winning spread and a few pics. The car was traded in on a 2003 BMW M3.

The motors are great on these cars, not to mention i believe they have 100,000 mile powertrain warranty on the 07 and up. I think mine only has 65,000 powertrain and its an 06. They aren't screamers but they get up and go pretty good and get close to 30 mpg if you aren't getting on it all the time.

Lol, I might. I don't even notice it to be honest. I shaved my trunk entirely when I went wingless however. But me and NamedGobalt took some sick snaps today with a professional camera, so ill get those up later tonight.

I highly recommend not running a straight pipe for exhaust.......it does NOT sound good.

The 2.4L is a very good motor. It can handle a lot of power stock.
