Re: pontiac G8 GT
M3 destroyer? They run the same theoretical 1/4 time and the G8 has 50% more engine. The only thing it destroys is the price. But there are distinct differences between a quality German auto and American made autos.

and the new M3 is slow. i beat one easily in my camaro. i seriously doubt you'll see one run 13.1 and/or trap 106mph stock like the G8 GT ninja edit. keep holding on to your unfounded beliefs that BMW is great. BMWs are unreliable overpriced slow peices of junk |
Re: pontiac G8 GT
Is that the one with the sweet Spy Hunter commercial?

Re: pontiac G8 GT
I made an edit. RS... we get it. GM makes good bang for the buck 1/4 cars. But it's like comparing an R1 to a Harley... They're completely different.

The car looks nice and hauls ass. I'd be curious to see what kind of problems they're going to have with it. How many "performance" cars have D-O-D? Doesn't sound like a good combo to me. I'd still much rather have a CTS-V, even if it's slower/heavier/more expensive. :6 __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |

Do you have something against every single non American automaker? What will hold it's value though in the end, the M3 or the G8... ::) Not to mention when you sit in the G8 it's still a Pontiac. Kinda like SRT4 and Neon issue. Not to mention the G8 is two liters bigger then the V8 in the M3 but still kicks out nearly 50 more horsepower but 100 lbs of tq less from the smaller displacement V8. Compare something that's atleast somewhat equal numbnuts. I don't even know why I'm even trying to debate with you cause your just like a caveman banging his wooden club and grunting argghh...chevy...bowtie...blah...blah..blah...noth ing else matters...
duurrd urrrr durrr the G8 is faster durrr durrrr durrrrrr they aren't equal. the G8 is 29k fully loaded and the m3 is 56k base the G8 is 2 liters bigger and gets much better MPG... durr durr american engineering... durr dudrrrrrrrrrrrrr |
Re: pontiac G8 GT
a guy i worked with a couple months ago had a 5 series bmw. he was about 70 years old. babied the ---- out of it.
it was constantly in the shop and he was always complaining about it the funniest problem was the gas cap sensor would always trip even if the cap was on. his wife loved the car and thats why they kept it. he said their early 90s beamer was more reliable. |

Re: pontiac G8 GT
Per motortrend:
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...fications.html 12.7@ 111.3 stock. .97 on the skid pad. However, the g8 will be MUCH cheaper to mod. I guess if you like low end torque the G8 is for you, but if you like the 8300 redline on the 4.0 v8, then M3 it is. The cts V is a better comparison (closer in price) |

BMWs are unreliable overpriced slow peices of junk i can half agree with you on that. the new M3 is worthless, if i were to buy a bimmer right now it would be a 335i or 135i. out of the box they are a bit sluggish but it doesnt cost much to open those cars up. 300hp/300tq from teh factory is nice but the gearing sucks. and it doesnt matter which german car you talk about they are all going to spend 1/2 to 3/4 of thier life in the shop the G8 is a nice ride, plenty of go and room for the kids. my mother has owned grand prix's since i can remember, and she like my lil bro's mustang so it shouldnt be hard to convince her to get one, she is due for a new car anyways. |
