RE: spied pontiac g8
Let me see here....
4dr full size sedan
362hp
Rear Wheel Drive
6 spd automatic transmission
6 spd manual transmission - available in Spring 2009
It's utilizing a 6.2L OHV V8 - new Corvette motor...
What's not to like? It's giving GM more then what Chrysler has in the Charger R/T and 300C without needing the SRT model. It's giving US what we want in a MANUAL transmission in a performance sedan....
Honestly, its a really GREAT step for GM....and the car is a rebadged Holden Commodore from Australia....its a very popular car down there...and I expect it to do well here....the GTO just never fit the bill because it was trying to be something it wasnt....this car is not replacing an icon.

keep in mind that the actual performance numbers from the SRT8 engines are closer to the G8 stated numbers than their own...
in the end, its another bulky, slow sedan, and ill start worrying about them when one beats me...

14.1 seconds in the 1/4 mile
Comparable with the SRT-8's with less HP.....it's about a second slower then an SRT-8 in the 1/4, but faster 0-60...
And it weighs 3900lbs, which is about the same as a Charger R/T....
Overall, for $35k in a sedan, I'll take the 6spd......because it's really the only thing lacking on the LX series cars...

keep in mind, guys who have gotten some seat time (like stripper motorsports) have gotten their SRT8s into the 12s...stock..and theya re well into the 12s stock with just better skins...those huge wheels slow them down too much. not to mention, with some shopping and connections, you can get an srt8 for not much more than 35k...
i actually expected alot better than 14.1...i would hope that the mtx is quicker than that when it comes out...
