G-8 GXP by circlew

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

Great links! It's 1969 all over again. Challenger, Camaro SS G-8??? Should be GTO.

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.

With $4 a gallon gas around the corner, I doubt we'll see that happen.
