its a gm engine, get your facts straight. and who gives a fuck? did you watch the video? faster stopping than a lambo murci?! and the faster acceleration than a new M5, this car stock will eat most euros in the straight for sure and quite a few on the track.



and all that for about 35 grand...

[HIERLEVELZ]

For 35k ill take one for sure!

It is sold as a Pontiac G8 GT (GXP coming soon) 360 horse, the GXP will be about 410 HP. They are built by Holden in Australia so much better quality on the build then any other Pontiac. I have a 2005 GTO that was also build by Holden not even my Corvettes where built as good as that one. I have an Audi S5 on order so no more GM cars but if I had not bought and Audi I would have gotten a G8.
by the way the start at $29900 here so a total bargain.

I went on Pontiacs website and the G8 GT sports package (i think thats what it was) comes with stock 19's...thought that was pretty cool...the only thing I don't like is it's only automatic....hopefully the G8 GXP will be 6 speed manual...

it will come in 6 speed in '10. idk why GM does that but first year should be only auto.
im def gonna be at the dealer to test drive it when we get one here.

Update to the G8 GT.....the 09's will NOT be manual due to the Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation....GM can't figure it out)....10's are questionable.....the GXP, however, will be offered with either AT or MT, but won't be out until late '09.....and no AFM

as you might be able to tell.....i'm in the market.....
