Check out my new car!
 
2009 Pontiac G8 GXP! 6.2L LS3 V8. 6-speed manual. 415 horsepower! Silver with black interior.

I've been wanting one since they came out and my wife finally caved and let me get one! We'll be poor for the next 6 years but man, has it been totally worth it already!!!!!

*EDIT* YouTube of stock exhaust:

Very nice!

I was looking forward to getting a G8 as my next car in a year or so. Damn it.

Very, very awesome car. Even with 4 people in it it's incredibly fast. I guess that's the difference between having a 2.0L Evo and a 6.2L LS3 ha ha ha ha ha

That seems like a very nice, sporty 4 door sedan. Congrats, good luck with it, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Have you lined up against your neighbor's F body cars yet?

ps: sorry about the PT Cruiser :(

Awesome car and color combo...one of GMs best ever sedans imo. If they made more of these types of cars 10 years ago GM would never have went bankrupt. I hear it is comparable to a BMW M5 in terms of power and handling for half the price. Are those HID headlights? What a beast!

Lestat 07-12-2010 05:25 PM

Congrats!! It's a great car and it hauls ass!

Redjake 07-12-2010 05:35 PM

I just got done with a joy ride and HOLY SHIT, I simply cannot believe the insane power. I mean I know it has power, but it's one thing to "realize" it has power and another thing to "experience" the power. I opened her up on the expressway and it was pulling strong at 120 MPH and I had to let off because it wasn't slowing down at all!!!!!!!!!

I also turned traction control off and did me a quicky burnout and almost did a complete 360 in about half a second! I was ferociously spinning the steering wheel to counter-correct the fish tail back and forth, it was like riding a damn bull!!!!!!!

Throw on a set of underbody diffusers and add a whale-tail for more downforce. The drag will slow you down when you take your foot off the throttle. And fertilize your damn lawn son.

I'm feeling pretty lazy, so can we pretend I marked up your post like a teacher grading a paper and circled the GXP badge, V8 badge on the engine, and the clutch pedal in green and wrote "correct" next to them?

Haha thank you sir!

Very nice. I never owned one but I drove a couple GT's and sold a GXP in that same color. Talk about bang for the buck.

There still may be hope that the platform will return as some kind of Chevy.

Titan_Uranus 07-15-2010 10:45 PM

Frigging awesome car,congrats.

Redjake 08-13-2010 03:47 PM

Dynoed my car last weekend! I'll post some videos soon.

Plan9 08-13-2010 04:56 PM

Sweet!

Redjake 09-25-2010 03:25 PM

My car on dyno: 347 RWHP and 345 LB/FT of torque. Not bad for bone stock and on a hot day. That's wheel horsepower - crank should be right around 400-415 HP (car is rated at 415 HP).



MEEEEEEEEEAN G8 GXP that another guy had - super cam!!!!



genuinegirly 09-25-2010 04:09 PM

Now there's an enthusiastic motorist! I love the photo of you doing a dance by your shining new toy.

G5_Todd 09-26-2010 10:02 AM
