I was shocked! I am use to Turbo Buicks and Mustangs for years and this car will shock anything if you dont bring your A game. As soon as I get the motor work done a mid 11sec sedan will make a few shake their heads.

I'm loving the grey / silver color on the right, nice looking ride, it'll be fun to see them start laying down 11's

Not doubting you but that seems extremely impressive with the G8 having less power and weighing more than a GTO? All the times I have seen are mid to high 13s with 2.0+ 60'. I would think you would need at least the mods you mentioned + headers and exhaust to be in the 12s.

Perhaps they're underrated out of the factory? Wouldn't be the first time a company has done it. Any video links to some runs Larry?

There are many with basic mods + converter and DRs that run mid 12s. Wait until spring when MANY N/A G8s will be high 11s-low12s N/A

That's pretty much in line with what a lot of SRT8's run with the same mods. The G8 GXP will be a wolf in sheep's clothing. I want to race! :D

We don't have too big a target on your backs? Do we? lol ;)...besides, we're swamped with some of the TBSS boys as well. Bring more guys over man...there's no way they'd leave your site anyways.

I might just work out a deal with you on that. G8 Boards banned me again and now it is a small war so I am looking to increase membership on the site as well. You have done a great job on this site Milan!

Milan is such a man-whore!!! I'm interesting in seeing what a lightly modded GXP can do. It seems that The G8's can beat any published performance number rather easily.

Last friday 1 ran 13.0 with a tune and CAI only! Factory tires 2.16 60 fter. Thats another 12sec car with a better 60 fter.

Cool cars but does pontiac have only one designer? They all look like Grand Am's? Maybe its just me but they need to break up the exterior styling a bit more! I would love to see some of these at the track though.

Anybody ever see the G8 they did for 50 cent-it was on Unique Whips. That one turned out nice-it had some hot rims. I'm not big on all the interior BS(system, tv's, etc) either but Unique did a nice job with that G8

Bone Stock, my GTO ran 13.3 @ 108mph. The G8 times seem right. High 12's cant be far off
