Pontiac G8 , have you seen this thing ???
 

I am in love , L92 engine with L76 Intake . I am sure this will make some nice power.

Now do I buy this or the new Camaro?
I do like 4 doors.

Yeah. I've seen it also. The car looks very nice and puts out some serious numbers for horsepower. I do believe it was 360 or 390 horses.
There is a clip on youtube.com somewhere.:thumbsup:

Ill stick with the new camaro :thumbsup:

Kinda looks like the CTS-V Cadillac??? I like it! :thumbsup:

Yeah There from Ozz
was on the news last week same thing that they did with the GTo
its based of these cars here: www.hsv.com.au

Hmmm. Not for me. Good power, but too Maxima, Altima, Camry looking for my taste.

For a 6 speed , V8 rear drive car at 33,000 this is a deal .
And not to mention the Power possibilty from it . I think 500 rwhp is easy with this one.

Its the same platform as the camaro also .

Don't forget VW Jetta. But this is the only one with a V8 and the 6spd. If I was into the new car market, sign me up.

Plus a useable back seat.

wow - GM is actually making a car i like. Weird

Wait till you drive it :thumbsup:

Very happy HSV owner here, 6,000 miles still can't get the smile off my face

I'll take a new Camaro if it looks like this:

definately what pontiac needs. They need more edgy, "classy" cars. Im surprised the GTO did so bad. I hope this brings things up!

Think it would be competitive with the new Lexus IS-F due out at the end of this year? How do you think it would compare to a Audi S4, or BMW?

Personally I think it looks really good. I'd like it painted flat black. Think i could get that from the factory?

I know someone that did some spirited driving in one and it goes pretty good....:cheers:

This post has some of my Aussie bias in it, so I apologise in advance for my patrotism.

I have an incredible passion for late 60's, very early 70's American Muscle Cars of all denominations, own a few, all Chevs, brother has mustangs, friends have plenty of the rest.

This sedan is world class, I have a HSV version, it is a great car. I'm currently building a pro-touring 1968 Camaro Convertible, LS1, 6 speed etc. I will have spent 2 twice what I paid for the R8 Clubsport and apart from what I care to modify the engine it will never offer what the Clubsport does as a touring car that I can insure and drive every day. 6 litre 6 speed auto, 19" wheels, 365mm front disk, low 13 sec 1/4, you get the idea.

Here in Australia we have probably an European/Japanese influnce due to Right Hand Drive, so I have had the chance to drive the top end BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus etc,but we still love our "muscle car" V8 rear wheel drive. As a pro-touring sort of guy I would take the Clubsport over all of others, except maybe the few exoctics. Add a super-charger to the LS2 and it's not fair to the guys who paid $100,000 more for their exotic.

I understand why there was a dislike to the Monaro "GTO", should have been called something different, but I believe those who drove it appreciated what I good car it was. Main criticism seemed to be about the seating. Lutz drove it and loved it, he has seen what is being done here.

The 2009 Camaro is being engineered here for a reason.

The smallest book in the world could be great American sedans 1970 to 2000, and trust me I've rented a few.:rolleyes:

So get out and drive one of these, you'll a least be mildly surprised at how good a 4 door, push rod V8 car can be, and they will be built in the USA.

As an American muscle car fan, I would like to thank Australia for keeping the muscle car alive during the dark days of SUVs and FWD. :thumbsup:

Seconded:yes:

Yeah, I'll sign up for one of those myself!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
