ChinoHillian Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I might be selling my truck to my brother and then I will have to pick up a new car. I'm looking at getting a tbss or g8 gt. I still have yet to drive the both of them but what do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 The G8 GT would be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAKSSS Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Either one! Both are awesome, I've driven the TBSS and its pretty awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF-03-SS Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Really depends on your needs. For me if it was a DD I'd get an AWD TBSS, but if it were for fun and not needed to haul with it would be the G8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nastyhabit Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I drove a new TBSS a couple years back at local dealer and the thing was awesome. But they're not cheap... Don't know enough about the G8 but had an 01 SS Camaro and know those can be had for less $$ and I'd imagine are just as fast. Cheaper insurance and taxes too..... If that's a concern Personally I'd love to try out a SRT8 Jeep but know where it would lead to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinoHillian Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 i'm 19 years old so i'm leaning toward the g8 gt right now because i can get a lot of power out of it and it has active fuel management so i wont be raped with my gas mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Tim Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) I still don't think your gas milage will be much better than the SSS even with the AFM. I have been shopping a bit lately as my truck will be paid off soon. I drove a G8 Gt, and was not exactly impressed. It was comfortable, but not exactly what I would call quick. And the EPA rating is 15/24, which isn't great. If you are going for mileage, it may be more cost-effective to keep the SS and baby it... I'm just saying, these may be things to think about. I am not trying to persuade you one way or the other, but just giving my impression of the car. As for the tbss, I don't have any experiences with one, so I won't comment on it. Hope this helps -Tim Edited January 23, 2011 by TXblueSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huero626 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 i'm 19 years old so i'm leaning toward the g8 gt right now because i can get a lot of power out of it and it has active fuel management so i wont be raped with my gas mileage I would go with a TBSS. AFM is a joke I'm going to remove it from my truck soon, it is just a GM gimmick to make people think it saves gas. I've had it turned off and haven't seen any difference from it being on. Also, it turns off instantly when you accelerate and when you start going uphill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverado777 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) Why don't you just keep your SS? Edited January 25, 2011 by Silverado777 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
