2009.5 Pontiac G8 Gxp Sedan 4-door 6.2l M6 on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
|
If you are looking at this listing, you probably already know something about this car. Pontiac's last great muscle car and certainly their greatest car of the modern era. In short, it is a full size, four door sedan with enough room for the family and big trunk, packing a 415hp/415tq LS3 engine and a six-speed manual transmission. This type of car has unfortunately become quite difficult to find.
I am the original owner, non-smoking purchased in the Chicago metro area and lives there still. The interior is like-new and the exterior is in very good condition. I have never had a mechanical issue, oil always changed with Mobil 1 synthetic. It is due for some 60k maintenance but I will leave that to the new owner. It is currently wearing 18" wheels with Continental ContiWinterContact tires. I will also include the original chrome GXP 19" wheels and tires, though at least two of the summer-only factory tires have leaks and all four original wheels have some curb damage (unfortunate side effect of parking in the city). Never at the racetrack though it would be at home there and most of the miles are from traveling the Midwest for my job. The exterior paint is good, with some small rock chips in the hood, a minor scratch on the driver's door, and a scuff on the lower front bumper (see photos). The rear bumper had some marks from city parkers so I had it repainted and it looks great. Title is clear. Wheels aside, the car is completely free of aftermarket parts. I really love this car and am only selling it because I am moving to NYC. It is quite difficult to find a full size sedan with a powerful engine, great handling, and manual transmission. Handling is extremely responsive for full size, with power oversteer always on tap and very predictable. It is an absolute joy to drive. There were only 1829 Pontiac G8 GXPs produced. My research tells me this car is one of 30 with the combination of Panther Black Metallic, Onyx interior, no sunroof, and M6 transmission. Please read the reviews and do the research, it is a great car. Watch this video of Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear flogging the UK version which was sold as a Vauxhall, which I might add had a smaller 6.0L engine and does not look as nice as the Pontiac GXP trim. http://www.topgear.com/uk/videos/vauxhall-vxr8 It is a truly historic car and very fun to drive while being totally practical. I have done my best to include everything but feel free to contact with any questions. Car may be driven so mileage may not be exact.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
