I would love that car as my daily driver dadmobile, but I'd require a 6 speed manual. Real vents for the back passengers, Blaupunkt (sp?) stereo, lots of neat stuff. Glad for Pontiac, I'll be driving one just to see what it's like. I am a Chrysler service advisor, so I've driven quite a few of the 300 SRT8's. I have one complaint about them, the front suspension makes some crappy banging noise over rough roads. Oh, and they get around 14 mpg.

its supposed to be setup to run on 87 octane. thats the main reason its less hp than a normal 400hp ls2. or so i thought.........
im assuming if you had it retuned for 93 you would get the HP back

based on those numbers, it looks like it is going to need an additional 50-60 hp and some sticky tires to get it into the 12s. I can't figure out why is this thing so heavy when i have a decked out lexus gs350 and it only weighs like 3600 lbs

1. The Lexus most likely contains more lightweight materials especially aluminum in drivetrain parts.
2. The G8 is a bigger car. 6 inches longer overall (2 inches of this in the wheelbase), 3 inches wider, and 1 inch taller.
