Well maybe for the R/T. Weighs in at 3800lbs.

A Notable Feature of the 2008 Pontiac G8

The 2008 Pontiac G8 V-8 engine will put out an impressive 362 horsepower and a robust 391 pound-feet of torque. That combination should move the car from 0 to 60 mph in under six seconds, which is muscle car quick.

It is based on the new Holden Commodore platform. The old Commodore platform is the same as Pontiac GTO. So I would say yes this would be competition. At least for the R/T's.

When I say Commodore I really ment Manaro. Sorry for any confusion.

I actually like it. Have to see it in person though. As for direct competition, I will say yes, without a doubt. Unlike DCX that neuters our tuning abilities, GM has a open door policy with the aftermarket just like Ford. I would think with the proper dynotuning, they will probably be quicker... We'll see, its still to early to tell!

Read about it in Road and Track... RT competition, SRT8 should have no problem. But, we will see when it actually comes out.

Just wait for the GXP which will surely have somewhere around an LS6.

I wish GM would make a good looking muscle car already!

I want to play too!!!

So far, the only good looking hotrods are Lxs. And, we all know about the turning capabilities of these cars.

Well, I guess were at a good point now. Only getting better too!

It looks clean and fresh, I have to give it to pontiac for making a come back, I am sure that V8 will scream. And the 6 speed manual. We will see.....

People down under are running mid 13's with the normal v8 version...not the hsv. If/when they make a gxp version, it should be insane.

Sweet car! Nice body except for that grille there. Pontiac models got an impressive Pontiac oxygen sensor... as my buddy told me based on his experience. I would hit that one!
