Re: SEMA 08: Pontiac G8 GXP Street Concept

I wonder how much this engine will go for compared to the LS7.

Re: SEMA 08: Pontiac G8 GXP Street Concept

I am with those who think that the front end clashes with the rest of the car.

I'm basing my carb. assumption off of these videos from GM:

And to be clear, I LOVE the fact that it has a carb and I am well aware this is not production. I LOVE the idea of dropping a 630hp+ 454 into a G8.

HOLY CRAP.

You guys know me, and how much I HATE v8 2 valve motors.

Overall, the G8 GXP Street concept can be summed up with one word: menacing. And with 638 horsepower on tap, it has got the muscle to back up the attitude.



This is too much for a production car, but this is setting the right example.

Sporty+Pontiac=Success period.

PS. Thats enough power to start an earthquake at the blip of the throttle.

I actually like the smaller upper grills. The lower grill on the other hand ... I think I just threw up in my mouth.

They say looks are subjective. I'm surprised that there are as many people saying that they like it.
