New Owner 4.8is
What up Guiys,new owner here.
2005 4.8is
Love this Car,after owning many nice cars like
clk55 amg
s4
saleen s281
300CSRT8
300ZX TT
Infiniti G37s coupe
C5 Corvette
C6 Corvette
etc etc.
This is my first hi perf. SAV.
So far i love it,i have an issue with the car leaning to one side,don't know if it's the strut or the Control Module,but whatever it is,im upset about it because i don't wanna be already wasting money on fixing the car.
Also sometimes when i let the car cruise at low speed at around 1500 rpm's it feel like it hesitates every few seconds,as if it was between gears all the time but it does it only at 1500rpms when crusing slow....weird...

Otherwise the car looks great and it drives great,i have so far blacked out the rear signals and painted the grill satin black.
Also i have used an M6 resonator in place of the oem resonator,gave it a slightly more agressive sound.

Here's some pics from when i got it.

Looks great.

Did you get this strange hesitation sorted?

Mine does the same thing.
