Pontiacs are heavily slept on. And I love it 😭😭😭😭 ppl don’t even know what these cars are. Get called a cavalier or a G6 😭😭😭 hear that all the time. My GTO even gets called a G8 😭😭
My family sold Pontiac’s for about 80 years and I can’t stress enough how happy it makes me to see the Pontiac community alive. My grandpas philosophy was to always order the cars with the larger engine option. Worked great because his small dealership outsold many others simply because he knows everyone wants a nice big engine! (Before gas mileage was even something people would think about before buying a vehicle) Kept that business model till 2008 when gm ate shit and dumped the franchises. Was a great childhood playing around the showroom, g8 was my personal favorite. Would love to build an old gto in memory of my grandfather. A true American immigrant who went from sharing a single piece of bread with the family for dinner, to being able to die knowing his family would never again experience the starvation that drove them to America.
Not necessarily. I drove my ole ladies back in school and it was very disappointing and I’m a Chevy fanboy. I have a LS3 and a LSA camaro now that took my breath from day one. It was probably turned down but still heavy asf.
Unfortunately I missed seeing this event by one DAY. I arrived in Omaha on the 9th. I did get a chance to do a test and tune here the following Friday though, that was fun. It's a really nice track and I met a lot of cool people. Would've loved to have seen this action in person, but I'm glad I at least get to see it here. Thanks!
Thats pretty badass. 1400hp runs 8 second rwd quarters has 4 doors and doesn't have a cage. Gotta give a lady props when shes been carrying around bowling balls instead of ovaries all along. Lol.
Pretty sure I raced her a few years ago at LSfest east (she beat me, haha) Awesome car and really cool to see a girl that is knowledgeable and passionate about her car!
@anonymous Actually I'm in my 30's. Thompson Motorsports built the 427 and Koza Performance fabricated the turbo kit but my husband and I have built the car in our garage over the last almost 7 years.
@anonymous I think he just meant that it wasn't a shop built car which is correct. Lots of shops and companies have been apart of it but like I said my husband and I have been building it for the last 7 years in our garage. Awesome! You Aussies have all the cool cars over there! I'd love a Ute or VF Wagon.
Even more impressive is the Audi he raced against. Dang it man talking about a sleeper. That car was rollin', i would like to know what mods were done to it.
What people don't know about her is that she is anti-influencer. She is all about the car and doesn't want to be looked at as a youtuber "look at pretty me" generation. I fact she has stated that she does not want to make a TH-cam channel at all. Gives most of us pontiac lovers hope
“It hurt worse when the second set of doors passed you”
That’s a great car/driver combo.
🤣
Thank you 😘
Lol😂 true lol
Absolutely!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣👊👊🤙🤙👍👍✌✌
Great Shirt
As a G8 owner. I love seeing our cars get some love.
Bang for your buck I’d probably rather have a g8 than a hellcat
As an Australian I like to see our cars get some love aswell mate!! 👍

Getting rid of Pontiac….gm’s biggest mistake.
@@badhombre8383 biggest. And they capped it off with closing holden down fully. Bunch of stupid corporate ppl

Even stock or slightly modded the G8 makes people go WTF especially when the second set of doors pass you
Never had a lightly modded LS motor mated to a slush box make me go WTF
Unless I was cursing the shit transmission

@@tomboy1875 exactly
That Poncho is the last of a dying breed.
Awesome to see her drive the hell out of it.
LITERALLY THE CRAZIEST G8 I'VE EVER WITNESSED DOWN THE TRACK 😱😱😱
VE commodore*
@@floki1664bruh an Audi RS3 costs $80 000 and that VE commodore would of costed $50 000 not really comparing apple to apples are you
@DILLIGAF2 how’d I guess this comments section would be full of Australians being annoying
@DILLIGAF2 I’m West Australian you moron. I go to Motorvation every year and I’ve been to Summernats
@DILLIGAF2 so an HSV is faster than a V10 Audi R8 Yeah righto mate
Saw this car in person when I was getting some work done on mine. Cool to see it on the channel!
Yes! Always love seeing Pontiacs get some recognition!
You mean a Holden.
Pontiac in the states, Holden down under, a rebadged holden if you will.
@@MJTAUTOMOTIVE ^
@@MJTAUTOMOTIVE the bottom comments will tell you
Always love seeing Holden get some recognition in the states
This girl is a killer!! So proud of you Lexx, can't wait to see what else you do!
love you!!!
Great video. She's come a long way since the LSA days.
What's better than a young women with a badass car who can drive and know all the technical stuff? Awesome!😎👍
Lexx is very popular in the G8 Facebook groups. Happy to see you guys feature her on here
Love seeing more and more female racers, everyone is welcome into the racing community
Only if they’re atleast semi hott
Drag racing always has been an inclusive sport! We're all spending stupid money going fast, brings us together.
@@daveclark3829 agreed
I second this!
Is it hers tho or just because she has a mechanic boyfriend? I have yet to see a woman race on her own and not just because her man does it.
Thank you for doing Australia proud. Awesome build
You go Girl! Just needs to learn the tree.
Honestly having an interview with Fred is a goal for me at this point. Now I need to get a race car 😂.
Unfortunately I missed seeing this event by one DAY. I arrived in Omaha on the 9th. I did get a chance to do a test and tune here the following Friday though, that was fun.

Man, seeing her *shaking* after the pass in the intro
Thats one hell of a SALOON BEAST, right there
Shout out to all the car girls 💪🏽
Her shirt is the icing on the cake
Glad to see the fast South Dakota cars be featured
Awesome seeing Jamie featuring in this one lmao
G8 squad 😤🦅🏁
Oh the G8...the last of the Pontiacs! 👍
She's awesome. Annnd 6:36 that sexy Camaro though
Get the holden grill/bumper on the car. Looks way nicer imo
Dont let fred see this comment 😂
In Australia we want your grill/bumper
@@jasonhorvath4272 don’t lie
This car left Koza then my car was literally next in line to get built. Watching this car makes me super excited for the outcome of my SS!
G8 for Life! Go get em Lex!
Have the same set up in my GTO just smaller Turbos.You go girl!
G8s have my heart even when they’re stock it’s a super fun car to drive and surprises a lot of people
Hey that is just an Aussie Holden built V8 actually having grown up in Australia with mad arse V8's!
No, the cars are Australian built but the engines after 2000 are American Chevy LS
@@lvpo8866 Yes that is right! I remember now about the Commodore SS /G8. Thanks mate. I remember the Holden Commodore V6's had a Buick motor in them
@@Epsillion70 The only Aussie motors that were put in commodores were the V8s prior to the year 2000 which had the Holden 5L motor
@@lvpo8866 Yeah the classic Aussie 308!
4:50 that guy thinks he is going to hold that gremlin back hahaha.. damn no cage and running 5's. Ant like the tech up north here.
4:45 gotta put like a second before or right on time, so people can click and see it 👍🏻🤙🏻
@@NovaRedHead haha that shit funny i was like wtfff
What can I say just keep doing what you do!!!! Always enjoyed watching, informative, entertaining and exciting!!!!
Beautiful with a fast car. Great driver. Love the g8
I read her shirt right after she gave the specs on the current setup. That had me rolling!
Ahhh shit!!!! G8 community proud af, great job lexx!
Thats pretty badass. 1400hp runs 8 second rwd quarters has 4 doors and doesn't have a cage. Gotta give a lady props when shes been carrying around bowling balls instead of ovaries all along. Lol.
💀💀😆😆
The more I see these g8's the more it makes me want it. Such a sleeper and makes some crazy power
That’s a nice VE commodore 😂
Pretty sure I raced her a few years ago at LSfest east (she beat me, haha) Awesome car and really cool to see a girl that is knowledgeable and passionate about her car!
@anonymous herself ig
@anonymous Actually I'm in my 30's. Thompson Motorsports built the 427 and Koza Performance fabricated the turbo kit but my husband and I have built the car in our garage over the last almost 7 years.

@anonymous i wouldnt call it a shop built car because owner didnt build engine, thats abit harsh
@@xox_misslexx1426 I doubt any of these tools commenting could ever have the skill to build or drive what you have. Amazing work!!!
MG... She's soooooo cuuuuuute
That pass with the green car was insane
Good Lord that car is fast
Even more impressive is the Audi he raced against. Dang it man talking about a sleeper. That car was rollin', i would like to know what mods were done to it.
That thing RIPS! Fellow White Hot G8 GT owner here! Except mines mostly stock 😂
How can you not smile ☺
G8 love from Austin Texas
The car she lost to was MOVIN. That thing was sick. I wonder what his time was.
Fred said he qualified with a 5.01(1/8th)
That RS7 having half the horsepower kept up pretty well 😅
You mean the guy that left before her by a full second and immediately got passed, because this is qualifiers where RT doesn't matter? Sure, I guess.
Ok. Im now gonna save up for some turbos for my G8
Some guys get all the good ones.
Wow I want to see more of this car, let’s see more runs I want to see what it can really do!!!
I’ve wanted one of these cars so bad after my first car (g6 gxp sedan) I’m 20 rn I’ll get it eventually
Love G8s never underestimate them!!she’s definitely not scared of it!!
I sure was the first time I took it out on this set up LOL
Best interview 🙌 it's just like she was speakig to a friend.
Perfect family sedan!
its a sedan...
@@Da808Boii which is why I edited it straight away 😁
Well done Lexi, cars a weapon
LEX is BREAKING hearts all over the World!
HER SHIRT AHHAHAHA
Wasn’t expecting her to jump out the driver seat 😂🔥
Holden Commodore in USA, 4 Door GTO. Cheers from Australia.
It hurts even more when the second set of doors passes you
Badass shirt for that car
She's going to need one hella tire sponsor.
Local shop to me has the world's fastest G8, thing is an absolute monster.
It needs a Holden front end and Holden steering wheel
Her car just got done at Koza. My SS is next in line right now for everything also
Love that saying on her shirt !
Awesome Lexx!
Is that Jamie’s wife from PFI Speed?
Cute chicks in fast cars is always great! Especially when they know about cars!!!
Put her on Street Outlaws: Gone Girl
She even has the stock steering wheel in that, true grocery getter family 4 door!
Great job Lex!
I love g8’s. Hell of a car i wish they made more
Such a badass builder
She looks like Velma from Scooby-Doo haha love it
Link to the build? I’d love to see how the turbo plumbing it setup
Nice little grocery getter!
In a straya (Australia) it would be a Holden 😃..
Nice one..
Looks like Commodore, work out which year and there is a world of aftermarket for those.
Yooooo I wanna know more about the jeep in the back @1:40 please of anyone has a link or something would be much appreciated
She a beast with a beasty g8
She said oilless turbos but there’s an am fitting on the turbo what that line for if not oil? Just coolant?
What people don't know about her is that she is anti-influencer. She is all about the car and doesn't want to be looked at as a youtuber "look at pretty me" generation. I fact she has stated that she does not want to make a TH-cam channel at all. Gives most of us pontiac lovers hope
I LOVE THAT SHIRT
I love me a fast 4 door. 🇺🇸🤘🏼
That car is Australian
The world needs more women like this!
That t- shirt kicks ass!!! #G8 #pontiacallday 🔧🧰🚦🇺🇲
She's pretty..FAST!!
I love the t shirt she is wearing
So badass!
My friends though it was a fwd i4 or v6 eco sedan when I showed them Mines
Plaid ran 5.97 in the eight......only 1020 HP, so not far behind. Plaid also has that second set of doors and you can drive it to WalMart.
simp equality video yes my favorite from 1320!......
Yeeaaa. It runs decent I guess. 🤷🏻♂️
I mean I’ve got a an okay tuner 👀😂
