#562 of 1265 G-8 GXP by circlew Feb 21, 2008 (1:31 pm)
Although the Pontiac G8 GT has yet to hit the market, its combination of a rear-drive V8 — outputting 362 horsepower — and a sub-$30,000 price tag has already earmarked it as a performance favorite. And as good as the GT version looks, the GXP model promises to be exponentially better.   Thanks to a leak by a Pontiac dealership employee — and posted on G8GT.com — we have the first indication of what engine will be under the hood of the G8 GXP. A picture of General Motors' inventory controls website reveals that the GXP version will be powered by GM's LS3 6.2L V8 — the very same engine founded in the current C6 Corvette.   Although the shot doesn't list any horsepower ratings, in C6-guise the LS3 engine makes upwards of 436 horsepower. However, look for the 6.2L V8 to be slightly detuned in the G8 GXP   Regards, OW

Replying to: rayainsw (Feb 22, 2008 1:05 am) Great links! It's 1969 all over again. Challenger, Camaro SS G-8??? Should be GTO.   Regards, OW Replies to this message: jpstax1 (Mar 01, 2008 9:44 am) edklein (Mar 01, 2008 8:21 pm) holdenguy (Mar 03, 2008 5:42 am) rayainsw (Mar 03, 2008 7:07 am) and 7 more... jpstax1 (Mar 06, 2008 9:59 am)
#566 of 1265 Getting kinda excited. by etcarroll Feb 22, 2008 (9:50 am)
So, I need to keep my '01 Impala for 1 more year, and let the initial rush for these die down, with the resulting easing of the price.   I hope the d-seat will adjust enough for a guy 6'3", 300lbs and 50" thru the shoulders.   The Imp was just fine in that regard.

Replying to: peachtree103 (Feb 28, 2008 6:15 am) With $4 a gallon gas around the corner, I doubt we'll see that happen.
