Yeah that's exactly what I did. GM does a free one time turn and then that's it what the hell I took the free turn then after that when they started to warp again I just changed them out for ceramic

ok so next question WHERE the HELL!! can i find rims this bolt pattern on the G6 is a pain only the colbalt is the other car that has the same pattern so I was told by my dealer and so far the choice I have for rims is VERY slim like 5 types all look like they belong on a van

You hang around a bunch of liars LOL go to discount tire or tire rack.com there are a ton for your vehicles.........

That's what I said, haha.

Grand prix= for the hot ladies

Dude, my grandma drives a Grand Prix GTP. LOL.

I can tell my rotors are starting to warp, I'm starting to feel that tapping when I'm driving/braking... I'm hoping I can put it off till the end of the month so I can buy all new rotors,tires, and rims...

Haha my friends mom drives a POS 97Grand Prix haha
Serioulsy when it comes to the shitty rotors on the G6 just invest in the new drilled and slot lined and ceramic breaks I've had no problem since then and I tell ya it go to the point where I was not even wanting to drive fast because as soon as I'd SSSTTTTOOOOPPPPPPPP iiiiiii wwwwoooo you get the point now like glass

I'm definitely going to get those drilled and slotted rotors. I just need the money... Which I won't have till the end of this month. I want to get my rotors/rims done all at the same time. I'll paint my calipers while I'm at it too.

You will find they do not support the G6 platform.
There are only 3, in my 5 yrs of experience with this car, that
do tunes for the G6.

Westers is up in Canada, Vector and the last is Chris White.

They will need your car to tune it. HPTuners does not support it. Chris wrote the tune for Vector so go to the source. He is on here at GTPPrix. Contact him and take your car to him with lots of cash and Ill bet he would be glad to help you.

No one else does it. Do like MJ says and go to your local places like that and listen to them laugh at you. Try it and if they say they will then post up when they do because not only will they get no help from the software people (its now unsupported remember) so they will be navigating tretcherous ground blind. I recommend you have the car tuned by people with experience tuning the G6.

I wish you luck as once people find the only way to tune it is HP and that HP doesnt support the G6 anymore then your screwed outside of the 3 who have navigated these waters back when it was supported.

Chris is also the least expensive but you will have to take him your car. Lots of time, expense and quite a PITA when you can go turbo a different car for 1/2 the hastle.

Hense....no turbo for the G6.

Dont believe me?? Go to the source and ask them: http://www.hptuners.com/forum/

I already did and Im sharing that knowledge with you now free of charge.

http://www.dynotuned.com/

These guys are in Madison WI and they do G6 tunes on LZ9. $800 and takes 2 days. They also said they can turbo charge it. To too sure if they ever have done a turbo before but that is what they said.

They suggested a E85 tune to gain more power. Apparently they can install a switch to run 93 or E85.

Yeah for the amount money there charging I would go to the best, and if you used that link to find dyno shops you would have found them...

If you don't know who ams you must be living under a rock they are the small engine tuner in the Midwest, probably one of the best Evo tuners in the world.... and not only do they tune cars...They make parts for them

Yeha when i was looking at tuner i though about that palce on in Wi but umm yeah but they didn't have much of a track record.....

No but they have tuned My 08 Impala,05Gto, and My 96 bretta gt. All were great. All had more power They know what there doing.

I think Hennessey Performance is closer to you in Texas(if you don't know who they are i will have to hang myself), unless you have an evo I wouldn't bother driving that far unless your just in the area

I emailed them to see what they have to say about one of our beloved G6's. Thanks!

who?

Lampoon

Your asking for a track record and that was my point. There are only 3 who have extensive experience with the G6.
