Here's an interesting article on the New Pontiac G8 GT...
2008 Pontiac G8 GT vs. 2008 Dodge Charger R/T - Head to Head - Motor Trend
That G8 GT is runing in stock GTO/Firebird range and sure to give anyone a run for their money, no room for errors boys/girls.
It's a heavy car at 4096 lb but it has 361 Hp / 386 Ib Tq to move that beast. It can hurl itself from 0-60 in 5.3 Sec and scoot through the quarter mile 13.8 sec @ 102.8 Mph... That's pretty impressive! (Just wait until the owners of the G8 GT figure out how rotten a road gear they got @ 2:92... Once they findout what a 3:73 or 3:91 will do for their 0-60 and quarter mile numbers. All we will see is rear bumps as they leave us in the dust... Let's hope they don't start figuring out about increasing their stall converters too?)
Guess it's time to invest in those gears, now and sticker tires?
