An SHO will be JUST as bad of a money pit as a DSM, especially an auto.
In all seriousness, don't put a penny into the car, just drive it.
Especially if you are buying a G8 in April, there is no point in spending money for mods over winter if you are getting a new, far faster, car in spring...
they can hold an 8,000RPM Redline without issue, and handle some pretty serious boost with stock guts.
The rumors always were that the original motor design made 300hp, but they had to dial it back as to not make it faster than the mustang. It is claimed this is evident by how over built the bottom end is in these cars, and how throttled things like the intake manifold come from the factory.
These cars need to breathe as much as they can for the best output.

I thought the SHO motor was detuned a lot?
