I have a 2000 GTP with a rebuilt 3.8 SC, it has higher compression then a normal 3.8 making it faster then the stock about 95k on the rebuild, it also has a spectre cold air intake, a aftermarket computer and a blower that's been ported, the car is around 280 HP which is quite a bit more then the stocks and it still has a lot of performance left to be done. I've been told she's pushing 300 HP. It runs with 5.0's and my friends 300 HP Vette, THIS CAR IS FAST. The tranny has also been rebuilt with a shift kit, it has abut 20k on the rebuild. Has a ws6 hood, new halo headlights and new led taillights. The halos need wired in. It has gauge pods that need wired up, they show a variety of colors when there hooked up. The A/C blows VERY cold, just had a full service oil change.The car has a lot of new parts: front wheel bearings, rotors, brakes all the way around, tires all the way around, tie rod ends, camber, rack n pinion, power steering lines & pump, transmission pan gasket, front end alignment, the motor mounts and rear struts were replaced when the engine was rebuilt. I have all the paint for the car and there's a lot left, blue leds and gtp emblems that will go with the car. The rims are just factory ones but painted black. The body is pretty close to perfect just a couple little things, one of the pics show a spot on the passenger side door but you have to get up really close to see it. A piece of the trim is a little off on the passenger side because of a broken clip, and then on the back bottom piece where it says Pontiac in black there's little scratches but otherwise the car looks great! When it was painted 5 coats of paint were put on then 3 coats of clear coat. The door jams do need finished but like I said I have all the paint left over. The color is metallic sonic blue. The inside could use a little cleaning up but nothing major. The carpet needs shampooed or replaced due to previous owners leaving stains primarily on the back floorboard. The leather is in good shape no tears but a little wear on the front two seats there custom with Grand Prix stitched in them, the backseats look great. The headliner is newer but it sags a tiny bit on one side it just needs adjusted, and only one of the door panels matches it and its in the back the other 3 are the original cloth panels and the front two have a couple small cigarette burns in them due to previous owners. It does have working power locks and windows but there is no remote for the car just 2 keys. The blue dash could have been painted better but it looks good, the window tint is old and the car needs a rearview mirror. Under the hood around the edges is blue but the motor was never pulled out to paint the inside of the engine so its still maroon. Other then that this car is AWESOME, I have over $8000 in it and am selling because I have 2 vehicles and need to get rid of one.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.

This KITT replica sold at auction for $32,500

Thu, Apr 23 2020

UPDATE: This 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am KITT replica officially sold for $32,500. Here's hoping the new owner has a blast throwin' it into Pursuit Mode. Let's get one thing straight right off the bat: This isn't a perfect KITT replica. The original KITT used in the Knight Rider TV series was based on a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. The one you see above, which is currently for sale at auction site Bring A Trailer, is a 1987 model, and since it's a GTA edition, it has some extra body cladding that the smooth-sided television car lacked. That aside, most casual observers would probably never notice the difference, and even those who did (like us) are still likely to be impressed by the car's transformation. This KITT replica is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. It ought to be fairly quick, though quite a bit shy of the fictional car's very fictional 300-mph top speed. We're not exactly Knight Rider experts, but some quick Google sleuthing suggests that the Knight Industries Two Thousand supposedly cost more than $11,000,000 to build in Hollywoodland. This one will surely command a significantly lower sum — as of this writing, it's been bid up to $18,000 with four days remaining on the auction. This content is hosted by a third party.

There are several videos of the car that detail its modifications inside and out, but suffice it to say it seems to be a well-sorted replica. Here's hoping its new owner keeps it well clear of other KARRs. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
