I have a 2009 G8 GT and I just wanna say that there are actually 3 modes. There is standard, then throw the shift to the right for sports mode or once you throw it to the right shift it and it goes into a manual mode. You have a really nice one there.
Yea the guy in the video is a world class idiot, how is he doing car reviews and trying to explain things about cars to an audience and doesn’t even have his basic principles down 😩, he also said a 505whp car had 650 crank horse
Still love watching the video 2 years later. G8 is currently in the works so it might be done in a few months if you want an update on the stupidity hahaha
i just bought a 09 g8 gt for 2K the previous owner was convinced it was undrivable for thousands of dollars ( I told him it wasn't a serious issue before I bought it and he may want to get a tech to tell him the issues) but he said it had to go i bought a control arm and cleaned the internals ( about 400) in fixes and it runs perfect
Maybe not physical displacement... but technically it does add dynamic air displacement, the supercharger is flowing a set amount of air though it each revolution. We know that for a four stroke engine, for every two crankshaft rotations there will be one intake stroke per cylinder. So in 2 revolutions a 6L v8 will consume 6L of air (assuming VE is 100% just for simplicity) If you have a 1.9L supercharger and spin it at 2.5x the speed of the crank, In two revolutions it will flow 9.5L of air. Jamming that air in to an engine with only 6L of "space" will increase the air density+CFM aka simulating a larger engine. Of course there are restrictions and parasitic losses etc etc so its not the same as a 9.5L engine but you can just drop a pully size to compensate... ;)
Technically Pontiac Didnt Build it. GM Australia (Holden) did create that car. We just took it along with the GTO(Monaro), G8 (VE Commodore), Caprice and SS (VF Commodore)
Nice video man. I'm on my 3rd G8 right now. Currently in the process of doing an LSA build on it. Aiming for around 550ish whp as a fun daily to and from work and school. It's being setup though to handle 600+ wheel with an E85 setup
Nice review! Love the SOUND! (The Last of the Pontiacs. Like Tony mentioned, sure-footed and it brings unlimited power when you need it. Otherwise, a silent cruiser!) See you on the asphalt ribbons! ;-)
Pontiac G8...exported to the US from Holden in Australia. The G8, in reality, was a LHD version of Australia's Holden Commodore...totally designed and manufactured downunder. Enjoy what is left of the G8s and Chevy SS ...Holden is no more and you will never see these cars again.
I vote..yes 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 black out looks good and that power delivery your experiencing is linear sc power for daily driver and sound sc ftw...twinturbskies for big topend
Pontiac didn't build this. General Motors did. And they still build this car (until 2018 that is...) It's called the Chevy SS. And both cars were built under Australia's Commodore by Holden. Australia has a HUGE market for powerful sedans. As a matter of fact Fiat/Chrysler STILL produce and ship the 300 SRT to Australia (and the middle East)

Yes. I am getting 25 almost 26 a gallon. If I get it tuned I am sure they could squeeze out more. I had a GTO getting 28 a gallon while pushing close to 500 whp
My man Pontiac did not go out of business. The racing division of GM was cut as a deal to get money from Uncle SAM. It was part of the bail out money given to the Car manufactures. How do you say goodbye to American racing heritage like Smokey and the Bandit?
I have 2 - 96 Buick Roadmaster’s the governor was set at (lol) 108 I reset one to 140 they were Impala SS sleepers never beaten a late model GTO but surprised them
Says dont get this car for gas mileage but then names some numbers thats better than my maxima's mpg lol. i want this to be my next car. I love the maximas power but i love this cars look and power as well.
Are you dumb or stupid? These cars, being 4000 pounds, handle very athletically. You clearly know nothing about cars. Stick any performance sedan (within a 20k price range) from 2009 against it and it will lose.

Very Welcome!
That pull on 4:20 was crazy ! Love how the transmission is simple and durable .
6 liter engine + 1.9 liter supercharger = a supercharged 6 liter engine. not 7.9
Kyle Herman did someone rrally say that

@@alteruser6910 on this car its around 622 HP at crank.
@@alteruser6910 crank horsepower will always be more then whp brotha. A hellcat is 707 to the crank and 625 to the wheels, factory.

Great G8 I Personally Love Me A Big Powerful American Sedan I Would Love To Own A G8 GXP One Day Or A Charger SRT8
Indeed!
Liked this review a lot as always Tony Sanch!
Thanks bro!
DAAAAMNNN, This makes me miss my G8! Although, I wish mine was a GT like this!
Superchargers fix everything :p
That now how displacement works.. only way is to bore and stroke motor.. super charger doesnt add liters or displacement
Maybe not physical displacement... but technically it does add dynamic air displacement, the supercharger is flowing a set amount of air though it each revolution.

Bad ass g8 gt
They actually weigh 3,800 to 4,000 pounds not 2.5T. Wonderful cars!

The more videos I see the more I want one *sigh*
Its badass bro

Have you had the steering wheel shake issue?
145 down a ramp to get on the highway in my 09 G8 GT
Lol lets good
Nice review! Love the SOUND! (The Last of the Pontiacs. Like Tony mentioned, sure-footed and it brings unlimited power when you need it. Otherwise, a silent cruiser!) See you on the asphalt ribbons! ;-)
Pontiac didn't make it. Holden did and shipped it to the States. Holden was a sister company of GM in Australia.
Dat whine doe:)
Ikr?! I loved it!

It's an Australian built car.
It's original badging is holden commodore.
505 horse to the wheels 650 at the crank. Where the hell do you get those numbers?

I raced a Cammaro SS2 in mine and I did a burn at 60. So yeah man giant power bands from any rpm. Btw I beat the SS .
Lmao nice 😄
Hey that was in Lake Olympia, Missouri City!!!
Ayyyy I love it dude
Thanks man! Glad you liked it!
That's my boi TFS
lol, thanks pinch
I have the same color but making plans for the Maggi...😎🔥🔥💯💯💯

Loved the video as always! Let me be you 😂
Thanks man! Keep up the edits your doing! If you ever need any help just let me know!
Danh sent me here :) Subbed
Thanks man for the support bro!
Came to see the car and all we seen is him talking
I need that front emblem for my G8. Where to buy?
Amazon, g8only and there are websites that sell badges specifically
What offsets a lre you running for the wheels?
How is it on ⛽️
not any worse than a G37 with it's paltry 6 cyl and 269tq
My 2012 f150 5.0l on a flat highway i get 13.67 mpg going 75 mph
What wheels are those
Dont g8s only come with a v8 in the g8 gt model?
J 117 GT has a 6.0 GXP has a 6.2
J 117 Nope it also came as a V6 . There are 3 versions the V6 the 6.0 and the 6.2 and some of the 6.2's came in a manual transmission .
G S and there's the supercharged firehawk
So is that mpg specific to that car?
Yes. I am getting 25 almost 26 a gallon. If I get it tuned I am sure they could squeeze out more. I had a GTO getting 28 a gallon while pushing close to 500 whp
👏👏👏👏

Monsta Saleens I wanted a 2014 Máxima but then I got a 2008 G8 and I had ZERO regrets .. love the freaking car 😁
Lol I have a Crown Victoria and this gets about the same
155mph in my GXP, stock
Oh shoot thats dope. G8's never disappoint :p
Earl Flynn 155 in my 2016 ss stock fun shit
It'll go a lot faster than that if the speed limiter is turned off. Perhaps you NEED to be limited though? Haha
My stock GT hits 140mph before the computer shuts it down....damn speed limiters.
I heard the owner is doing an engine swap 🤫
ooooooo
Does he wanna run a little white hatch back?
Haha not sure. Ill ask him
Tony Sanchez what's this run?
DranTanh probably 9-10sec with driver mod
Denton Henry hnh
I had to stop watching when he said it takes corners like a pro. That's a lie. This is a straight line car no matter how you look at it.
SirLoock no mate, holden designed these cars to handle, I should know I have 2 of them
SirLoock watch videos of the Commodore on a track doing laps no in a straight line. It handles well.
Are you dumb or stupid? These cars, being 4000 pounds, handle very athletically. You clearly know nothing about cars. Stick any performance sedan (within a 20k price range) from 2009 against it and it will lose.
Adam Moretuzzo why do you get so butt hurt?
These car's have the same suspension as a Camaro SS
Pontiac didn't make it,ahh hello it's Australian
More Info on the rims & tires rim size ect.
Forgestars f05 19x9, 19x10
Radio is what sucks in those cars though
The motor and blower whine all u need 😁
You stole our Lake Olympia spot smh
How can I still something that's ours?
turn off the damn radio!
Wtf my 2006 impala SS gets 10mpg and its stock😂😂😂
Oscar Guajardo those cars are horrid
Oscar there is something wrong for sure. If its stock and your not just beating on it, there is a defect or leak.
There good cars but faak they make you act like a hoon
