The New Pontiac G8 GXP

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Ryan_Kelley]Ryan Kelley

Make no mistake about it the new Pontiac G8 GXP will come out of the gate fast and hard. This is not your dads Pontiac. There is already a GT version of the G8 on the streets and it looks fantastic. It has a dual ventilated hood, quad-tip exhaust, and 367 ponies under the hood. Sounds neat right? Well buckle up, the new GXP model is comin to town.

How does 402 horsepower and 400 lb ft of torque from the new corvette LS3 power plant sound? That's right just like the GTO this little devil will have the all new award winning LS3 engine. It will put that power to ground via a Tremec 6-speed manual gearbox or a HydraMatic 6L80 auto. A fully-adjustable suspension made by MacPherson. MacPherson strut front and multilink coil-over rear carry forward with a direct-acting front anti-roll bar, decoupled rear stabilizer bar and lateral ball joints on the rear. Caster, camber, and toe are adjustable in front, and camber and toe are adjustable in the rear. What does all this jargin mean? This car is fine tunable for the the strip, street, and track.

It sports 19" HSV wheels wrapped in P245/40R19 summer tires. These tires will take this car to 150MPH. Don't fret for those that live in imperfect weather there are 3 other choices including a set of all season tires. Lodged in those wheels are huge ventilated 14-inch 355mm front and 12.76-inch 324mm clamped by Four piston Brembos in front and Single pistons in the rear.

Lets talk performance: 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds 0.2 second quicker than the Dodge Charger R/T, and 0.6 seconds quicker then the G8 GT. The quarter runs by at 13 flat and 108 MPH.

Interior styling should be nice with well bolstered seats and leather trim available. You can also get xm satellite radio, and a 230 watt blaupunkt system to add that thump. All this should make for a very fun ride with gobs of horsepower and torque anywhere in the powerband. Once again there will always be the great debate Chevy power or Mopar? Well! You be the judge.
