They'll run mid 13's as that is what Commodore's run. Also, they are tuned for 87 octane.

Do some more checking, the performance comes alive with just a CAI, exhaust, and tune.

+1 A little modding and I believe the G8 will get into the 12s. Not bad for a grocery getter that seats 5 in pretty decent style.

I am thinking that is what I will get her....
I want her to have something so she can be a part of the car club.

not that she wouldnt already be a part.. LOL.. but something that can race..

But still have a good little daily driver that does not eat the gas up like my camaro does.

She loves Pontiac.. She has a G6 right now, and we actually like it.. It runs pretty dam good.

My wife has been driving my up the wall about a G8. That's most likely what I'm going to get her for her next car.

We are going to trade my wifes Honda Pilot in on one. I am glad she is off the SUV kick. Gas guzzlin' brick.
With so many folks wanting the G8, it will be hard to try and score on of the 888 limited edition cars.

Gas guzzling? I am pretty sure the G8 will be thirsty as well

BUT at least you get some kick for your money
