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. |
