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!

Specs on the car (includes every single option available on a 2008)
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
TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system – shows actual psi of each tire on the dash display)
Black rear OEM spoiler
Monsoon 7 speaker stereo (upgraded speakers with amp and sub)
6 disk in dash AM/FM cd changer with mp3 playback
XM sat radio
Onstar
A/C – nice and cool!
Antilock brakes
Power door locks
Power windows
Cruise control
Sport metallic pedals
Carpeted floor mats
Two keys and remotes for keyless entry
Oil has always been changed on schedule or better with mobil1 synthetic
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.

A case for Pontiac's return

Wed, Apr 5 2017

Sadly, many brands have disappeared off of the automotive landscape over the decades. Many people have imagined over the years of restarting defunct automotive brands. A few of those dreamers even made prototypes to shop around and to established connections with investors. But, alas poor Yorick, however valiant an effort, many brands are shuttered for good, rarely to be heard of again except in historical tales or maybe seen in car shows. So, what do you do when you win the lottery? Not just any lottery... In fact, it is a lottery that takes care of you and your loved ones for life? You and your family don't have to work, ever. You can give to charity, pay other people to do those projects that you've been putting off, and so on and so on. But, you're still a Car Nut right? There begins the conundrum. Do you buy and fix cars, new premium cars, old muscle cars, or classics, or maybe, just maybe, do you buy the rights to an old departed automotive brand and bring it back to life. Hmm. Which brand? The problem with the old Pontiac was that it was an additional badge engineered vehicle in the portfolio of GM. The meant the brand was diluted by competition from its own parent company, in addition to the competition outside the camp. So, if it were to come back, it would have to be different. Yet, it would still need to keep true to its roots at the same time in order to wake up its armies of existing fans. Even those that aren't fans of Pontiac cannot deny that Pontiac has a long heritage of legendary vehicles. So do Packard, and Studebaker, and others. So, why would a lottery winner choose Pontiac as the marque to bring back? That's easy! Pontiac's long heritage is closely tied to performance vehicles that made many of a teenager drool. Even more important though is that Pontiac is still fresh on people's minds. The brand itself is only recently departed. So, Boomers, Generation X, and Millenials all would all be able to identify with it as opposed to brand names that disappeared multiple decades ago and that now have a more limited appeal. The return of Pontiac couldn't just be another launch of a badge engineered vehicle. It would have to be performance oriented, yes. But, it would have to be unique in some way, a niche brand. What niche though? Look at the automotive landscape now and you see that Tesla is the one out there grabbing at the wide open electric niche with success.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
