Pontiac G8 GT 6sp So I was on a car site and this crazy price came up for a Pontiac G8. I am curious if anyone has heard any real-world purchase prices for this car. The base V8 (365ish HP) version retails for about $35G's as far as I know, but seeing as new cars are basically free from domestic and Korean car makers right now, I wonder how much lower they would go... Also I am curious if it can be had with a manual transmission. I have found conflicting reports. Would be an awesome car if you ask me, basically a Holden SS underneath. |
I can't answer any of your questions, but I've seen a couple on the dyno and they all made good power. They look quite good as well, and interior is really nice. I thought it was a pretty sweet car. Then at college I was talking with a student about cars, and this girl who knew a ton about cars said she had driven one for a week, and thought it was one of the most awful cars she had ever driven. Said its handling was horrible, really uncommunicative, and just totally bland... I was surprised. So my suggestion is to go take one for a test drive right now before you invest too much time into it. I'm sure the Wheaton has a couple on the lot right now. |

the G8 GT is only available with a 6 speed auto and the GXP is available with a six speed manual. a guy here in Vic dynoed his stock G8 at 294whp. with simple mods like a cai and an ecm tune bumped that up to 334whp. you can get headers, cams, full exhaust systems and suspension systems to make a killer ride. |
wasnt it only 314 after the mods ? still a sweet looking ride for the price . sitting on peat rd in langford debaged looking killer from every angle .. maybe the hood scoups a little much |

G8 Is Aussie (Holden), with GM powertrain. MSRP on the GT with leather, roof, and a few other goodies is just north of 42k. There is a $7500 rebate right now, and i'm sure the right dealer will flex a bit more (i would). The G8 is surprisingly quiet when it runs (which tells me exhaust restriction & free horsepower). Its also ridiculously quick for a sedan, and all reviewers praise it, especially against the likes of the Dodge Charger etc. Look for Top Gears review where Jeremy Clarkson drives the Holden version, even he praises it. |

I've seen some decent dyno gains from just a reflash , as the are tuned on 87 octane stock. I've seen as high a 330whp on intake and tune. |
