The basis of their excitement is the 415 pony-extractor under the hood of the newest Pontiac. The Pontiac G8 GXP also has enough room inside to contain four adult men, until the driver opens the throttle and this 4-door family sedan turns into enraged bull. In that case, three of those men will probably start crying for their mommies and want out. The G8 GXP will put down a 1/4 mile time of only 13 seconds, which means that the Pontiac G8 GXP is a steal with an MSRP of under $40,000.
We've also been hearing some unconfirmed reports of the G8 GXP putting down some impressive numbers on the Nurburgring as of late. The last timestamp we received was a lap time of 8 minutes and 30 seconds while being driven by GM engineers. This unconfirmed time is good enough to best the Honda NSX, C5 Corvette and Porsche Boxster S and is only two ticks off from the 993 Series Porsche Carrera time. We'll reserve our final excitement until there is a pro in the saddle and the suspension isnât burdened with all the extra weight of testing equipment.
To check out what all the fans of the Pontiac G8 GXP are so excited about, head on over to Autoblog and Jalopnik.
