Top Speed On A 2008 Pontiac G8 Gt

[ryanb555551]

@fightingisfortheweak I loled so much when I read your comment :P

[fightingisfortheweak]

everytime i come on youtube to watch videos and post comments it asks me to enter the captcha, then theres a button on the lower side saying "cant read?" i click it and it gives me another captcha! how insulting is that. youtube KNOWS i cant read because i clicked it, yet it asks me to read AGAIN? fuckin dicks... *sigh*

[deezomaxima]

My governor is coming off when I get the cash to tune my G8.

[traviskearney]

Governed that much lower than the gauge...seems dumb. My Cavalier was governed at 108 but only read 110...seems better.

[Quatermain98526]

Gay music. Had to turn the video off instantly

[PkerMechanic]

why do people put gay ass music over car videos? god its fucking annoying..we wanna hear the motor!!!!

[pongdadong]

Got mine up to 144mph before is goverened out

[pistonear]

@pongdadong police impala will do 139. I did it coming in from New Mexico to AZ. The car only cost 3000.00 call me cheap but speed is speed.

[blaum5]

i smoked two douche bags that laughed at me for having my dog on my lap. funny thing is i was in my SUV...

[frankie122]

my gto is bone stock im sure ur trans is worked

[frankie122]

got you owned i have a 06 GTO got it to 150 and it still had more but i let go = P

[atekido]

@frankie122 and my 2001 Trans am would rape your GTO whats your point. 

[Thepizzaman360]

song blows 

[simsj73]

where are you driving so you can get up there. i have a g8 but there is one rd that we can get up to 130. i live in north carolina so there are a lot of bends in the roads....

[F4LL3NBURR1T0]

top speed huh? thats funny seeing as how ive been over 170 in mine.... but hey whos judging right?

[2strokedemons]

Really? i had a G8 GT doing a 140 n it was still going but i let off

[tool5150]

Thats not fast my old 2001 540 would do 150 and that was'nt even fast or at least it did'nt feel fast in that car which was built to do that speed everyday on the autobahn

[XR1407]

@Quartermain98526: Autobahn is also a public road. Believe me or not ;-)

And 137 mph on the Autobahn ist not as fast as you think.

[Louie1462]

for those interested, i found the song after three days:

"Ronski Speed feat. Stoneface & Terminal - Soulseeker (DNS Project Remix)"

[Louie1462]

to all those wondering about the song, it took forever to find the title... it's called "soulseeker" and the original is by stoneface & terminal; however, I can't for the life of me find this particular version. Thoughts? p.s. i love the g8, i drive a 97 grand prix gtp... haven't hit top on mine. someday though!

[Quatermain98526]

Live a little? It might be called "living" or "having fun" driving at 137MPH, until you get in a car accident, hit a car, or get pulled over and have your license revoked and go to jail for reckless driving. Driving this fast is not worth it.

[Louie1462]

@Quatermain98526 haha, yeah... key word is "until" So you crash, you burn, you die but at least you went with your boots on. Just don't speed down country roads or on the interstate with other people near by. Speed and live on your own time, your own dime, and with your own life... why would someone climb to the top of mt. everest with no oxygen to die, they don't; they do it to live. Same idea....

[Quatermain98526]

@Louie1462 When you climb a mountain you are not putting other people's lives at risk, when you drive excessively fast you are.

[Louie1462]

@Quatermain98526 right, which is why you do it in places where other people are not around? which is what I said last time

[Quatermain98526]

@Louie1462 How about you do it where it's perfectly legal? Like on a drag strip, or the autobahn.

Do it in a place where people are not around? That sounds safe, how can you say NO ONE is on a certain road? Let alone cops.

[Louie1462]

@Quatermain98526 whatever, keep it to a drag strip or a salt flat but get off your horse about people who exercise the boundaries of speed, innovation and rules otherwise you'd have to hall your ass across the desert on a wagon. props to this guy for pushing to the limit, we need more people willing to take chances and fight the boundaries; who knows where we'll be tomorrow.

Just think, someday you might be able to drive across this country in less than three days. EPIC!

[Quatermain98526]

@Louie1462 Recklessly endangering the lives of other motorists on the road is not what this is about. Going 137MPH can land you in jail, it's illegal, it's wrong, and it's just plain stupid. Getting pulled over for going that fast means you may never drive again, is that really worth it? And is it worth a possible car accident where you may die? Or where you may kill someone else? I don't think it's worth it. Autobahn, salt flats, or drag strip. But public roads? No.

[Louie1462]

@Quatermain98526 It's all about choices worry wort. People will continue to make them poor or smart regardless of your estimation... avoid people, run a spotter, be as smart as possible about it but keep pushing those limits ;) Just because it's dangerous doesn't mean you should ride those brakes.

- Cheers

[tool5150]

@Quatermain98526 There is a time and a place to speed on public roads you just can't be stupid about it. on an open highway with a long flat straight and no cars in sight or people why not?

[pongdadong]

Yeah I got mine around there, I hit 144 before it shut down on me

[Quatermain98526]

Are you crazy? Where do you drive 137MPH legally? That is utterly insane and stupid....if you only knew the the sort of trouble you could get in, the damage you could cause, the lives you could take. All for a stupid frill.

[MITKO1BG]

what is the song pls

[MattHughes2011]

That's my speed in 2 seconds...

[autolover55]

WOW I am so suprised that it gos that fast. But wait what do you have the GXP or GT??

My 2009 Cadillac CTS-V has that top speed of 195mph with 556hp and 0-60 in 3.8seconds. I am thinking of upgrading the horsepower to 650 and get 0-50 in 3.2seconds!!

[DrDownBrowns]

@autolover55 Hmm.... 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and 0-50 in 3.2 seconds sounds like the same speed.

[autolover55]

WOW I am so suprised that it gos that fast. But wait what do you have the GXP or GT??

[vivalabam13542]

if you put your 4 ways on it should surpass the gov.

[sokejigga]

haha! my Tiburon has a faster top end! 142 mph

[sokejigga]

@steiger99 u r an idiot! any time u wanna bring ur POS to Houston Texas and race it at the strip let me know, but im sure ur too chicken shit to do anything but talk crap on the net! U pussy!

[steiger99]

@sokejigga... I'm pretty sure idiots drive tiburons and then then spend their spare time looking at real cars like the g8....on the net. I'm not sure how you twisted this into a race against me in texas since that has nothing to do with my original comment. So you post a comment about your gay car under a g8 top speed video...?? What are you even doing in here in the first place, let alone trash talking with a 4 cyl rice burner? I have to admit you are the first 'ra-tard' I have spoken to.

[sokejigga]

@steiger99 v6 u dumbass.

[hckystd]

not true. had mine up to 144 and still had room to go, and mine is bone stock only has mufflers

[tjohanson]

Thats just wrong, and sad that they did that. WTF were they (GM) thinking?

[RAE51308]

We've gone over 170 in ours with mods and we ran a 12.69 in the 1/4 mile.

[michaelg589]

I've done 140 in mine. I have a tune. It had more, I just got scared lol.

[dapG8gt]

thats weird.. my 09 has the 130ish limiter in D but when i am in sport or man.. mode its around 155.. i got busted by my wife on the garmin GPS i didnt know it had a top speed recorder and it was on when me and my buddy were on 101 outside of SF at about 2 am and and he wanted to see what the old G* could do.. i dont have a tune yet , only magna cat backs and tha unhook the battery for 5 mins and drive it like you stole it tune on the stock ecm.. weird!!!

[cast9275]

My Cobalt SS/SC tops out at 170 w/stage II...The G8 is a great car, its just that for the US the rev limiter and the ECM is governor limited.....This car can go over 160 easy...just reflash the ecm w/ performance settings....

[MarcsMobileAudio]

Thats not possible with stage 2, not enough torque, you would need to push 400-500 Horse to get in that range, not to mention the blower would be slowing you down by thhat time...

[triumph1974]

@cast9275 A cobalt doing 170 MPH.......you have to post a video of that, otherwise no-one will believe you.

[JellyBird12]

@triumph1974 Its actually pretty surprising, MotorTrend tested the Cobalt SS doing its max stock speed of 160.23mph, and thats Highly impressive for 260bhp and 24k.

[hirolahmanagement]

Yeah, u guys r getting done... I'm Australian where the car is made. I think u guys r on limiters... Ute's down under go 160+ mph, lightweight no limiters... lightweight etc etc... U hear the police trying to chase ute's & other holden's (Pontiac's) all the time but they can't... Feel 4 u guys. Secondly how much U.S. companies trying 2 charge 4 the ute 31k? wtf? & thirdly it's a ute = utility - why change the name?

[Cenon2007]

Names changed cause the appearance is mildly different. Do the Holden Ute's in Aus still use the Canadian made LS engine?

[GXPFiend]

Its not a n LS setup. Kind of a hybrid between LS1 and LS2. But for the most part it is an LS.

[GXPFiend]

because nobody in America would buy it if it was named that. Pontiac, in the last few years of its life started replacing the names with a G. There is the G5(Sunfire) G6(Grand Am) and then finally G8(Grand Prix).

[transamboy101]

eh dont feel too bad for us. pontiac dosnt exist here anymore. you guys got any true sprots cars, like corvettes?? and 160 is nothing special at all. i know a guy who took the govenor off his 96 cadillac sts (stock was at 150) and it went well over 160 not bad for a 4000 pound front wheel drive grandpa car.

[GXPFiend]

Oh yea. GM has ridiculous torque management on there V8's. A tune for the L76 (G8 GT) would do wonders.

[kolk5000]

gooooood

[F4LL3NBURR1T0]

its 160 ish stock with only a limiter removal tune

[enyce699]

hmmmm not bad but ive seen ALOT better

[khenry1991]

its supposed to be governed at 139

get those 2 extra mph's!!!!

lol

[Duke1822]

tis limited at what the stock tires are speed rated at for insurance rules ppl

[melvynray]

This is my car. It's not a v6. People are so stupid! Why comment if you have no clue what your saying? It's governed at 137. Willnot pass that stock. 7 times and 137 is it. Computer and gps verified. Governed. Unless it's tuned or modded. Mines stock. So...

[marcusnewtonz28]

If they are going to govern it at 137, why even govern it at all!? That has to suck. Good vid though man.

[uniquedeath]

well when a car shifts your not always about to shift at red line and since he is useing all of his rpms he goes faster but if he were to stay around 3000 rpm in the 4 he would be about 60-70 mph but if he floors it he can be going that much in his 2nd or 3rd

[fpvshitsonhsv]

@melvynray People are saying that becouse they are from Australia where it is called a Holden VE.They are exported to the states and are badged as a Pontiac G8 when that modal is a Holden R8 here.We have all sorts of modal's like the Base Holden VE and Calais,Clubsport and the list goes on. They are all of the VE range and yes the base does have a v6 in it.Its an Australian car using your American engines

[Louie1462]

@melvynray dude, seriously what is the name of this song?

[tenoR4sax]

@melvynray i have one too, if u take the limiter off it will go up past 160

[m25746793]

@melvynray people want to hear your car not listen to your gay techno music.

[thespub]

@melvynray that is bull shit , i have an 05 bonnie gxp and it is limited at 138, but it gets to 140 141

[W01Fernandez]

@melvynray I removed the limiter and with a 3200 stall tq converter, CAI, magnaflow exhaust, ECM/TCM tune, ive pulled about 160 in the interstate, for a better idea of what its capable of

[deezomaxima]

@W01Fernandez That car should be able to hit 170 easy.

[cheron60]

@deezomaxima its governed

[cskbride]

Thats a v6 car the v8 is governed at 155...He had yall fooled

[BM0NSTERR]

you are a fucking idiot ahahah

[uniquedeath]

both of them are governed

[born2makk2007]

pathetic....why did u waste ur time making this?

[MparishFsu]

my friend has one and we tried this, we were going slightly downhill and got to 139 :) i love that car

[Rainman4051]

I still say the GTO is better. I'm going to get a 05 with a 6.0. When I can afford it lol.

[GXPFiend]

@Rainman4051 No doubt the GTO is a great car. But if you sit inside a GTO then into a G8 it is a lot different IMO. The G8 is much more stylish then a GTO. The front end on a GTO is ugly as hell.

[atownmack]

i wish there was no music, so we could hear the roar of the motor!!!

[johnstall5350]

agreed... especially since the music is so fucking GAYYY

[shortndangrous]

@atownmack hell yea wtf is that shit abt

[stevenedaman]

@atownmack its fools like u that have no taste in music!! that is awesome shit that goes with this clip... have some vision son...damn!!!!

[PHSeremak]

I love the G8. Gettin my gt in a couple months :D

Oh btw G8 0-60 in 5.4 stock. Thats uber fast for a sedan! I had an 08 Challenger SRT-8 and that did 0-60 in like 5.7. Then we supercharged it now it has 600 horses and does 0-60 in 4.5. I intend to supercharge my G8 and run low 4's. G8 is a better buy, more luxurious, cheaper, handles better, better on gas, faster if you know what your doing. GM is amazing :D

Oh and i would say G8 GT max would be like 175ish with no govern stock.

[killdac]

get a gxp 40 more horespower : )

[camaro88iroc]

yeah and the G8 drops down to 4 cylinders when your going at a constant speed on the highway!!

[saleenxxx]

you should gut the challenger to weigh less thus it would be doing maybe 0 to 60 in 4 flat

[Breze84]

Uhhhhh The SRT8 does 0-60 4.7 Stock bud..... G8 does 5.2

[moiad123]

can anyone tell me what is this song?? please !!

[lamp7002]

im guessing soulseeker by ronski speed

[l0gic58]

what is song?

[moiad123]

Dude what is this song? I really like it. By the way I am really surprised that your car is electronically governed to 136, My G8 is electronically governed to 150..

Nice video ..

[melvynray]

This is a bone stock gt and they are all governed to 137 unless tuned.

[chevyboy4lyfe]

Tonyr0206 is right GM wins hands down

[melvynray]

Challenger is a different class IMO. 2 door, more lightweight, and larger engine. Mabye stock on a drag challenger will win. But when it comes to handling, my g8 takes that one. Set is a big odd handling vehicle. Looks good though.

[ludeh22a4]

@melvynray i know this is a yer old but challener lightweight serious

[challengersrt8vszr1]

dont got nothen on the challenger

[Tonyr0206]

You'd compair a G8 to a Charger....not a Challenger. Four doors -v- two door...If you want to make a fair comparison that is. G8 -v- Charger, and Camaro SS -v-Challenger... GM wins both, hands down.

[NickFormicola]

GM always made better cars. I hate dodges.

Their so called "fast" Viper can't even keep up with a Corvette Z06. Let alone the ZR1.

Pathetic.

[mikeisgod520]

ummm that was the old viper...the new srt-10 (600HP) wipes the floor with the zo6....and the viper venom wipes the floor with the zr1. Get your facts straight

[moiad123]

But the Viper venom is not stock!! it is modified from hennessey i think?? So it is not fair to compare a stock ZR1 with a modified Viper who has twin trubo i think!!

[mikeisgod520]

Its kind of like saleen adding superchargers to mustangs....Thats how they come. Still "stock"...Not really fair to compare a supercharged zr1 to the regular srt-10 viper. To me the zr1s supercharger is ridiculas...All motor or nothing on american supercars IMO. Why blend in with the imports now?

[INSAINT369]

u make no sense

who gives a fuck if a american cars have superchargers?!

u act as if it were a fuckin sin

racing without modifications getz boring after a while which is y ppl later upgrade their cars to be faster

itz way more entertaining

i mean u aint gonna sell ur car 2 get a faster 1 everytime u lose a race

u just fuckin upgrade it

[mikeisgod520]

What? lol learn how to type with some grammar, jesus.

[mtooshort20]

nah, just admit it, he had a point and owned u lol

[mikeisgod520]

He owned me? no he made an idiot out of himself by putting words in my mouth. All i said is that IN MY OPINION american supercars should be all motor. He acted like I took it to heart that it was supercharged, which I could care less. So actually I just owned you and him with this reply didnt I? idiot lol

[mtooshort20]

no actually u made an idiot out of yourself with ur initial comment. American cars have been using superchargers ever since the muscle car era first began in the early '60's, its not just starting now, idiot lol...like i said, owned lol

[mikeisgod520]

Ok ill own you again retard.....STOCK NO THEY DIDNT. lol go watch dragon ball Z loser.

[INSAINT369]

lol amen bro

i have a 1969 supercharged Mercury Cougar XR7 and its fast

but according 2 gay mike its not

[mikeisgod520]

who said it wasnt fast? NOT ME lol...you dumb ass....I said factory american MUSCLE CARS especially the vette which has been NA for 50 years should not be supercharged FROM THE FACTORY. You stupid nig do you understand now? omg hahaha...this is hillarious! wait wait...you probably dont understand what NA means do you? hahaha

[INSAINT369]

well it aint in ur gay ass style cuz u dont like cars that come supercharged out of the factory

thats what i meant dipshit

damn dude r u fuckin stupid or do u just act like it? just like u callin me a nigga

i aint black bitch

and wtf u gotta b racist 4 bitch

just cuz u behind ur computer

i'd like 2 c u say that in a black neighborhood

c if u dont come out wit ur cherry popped bitch hahaha

[solidhadriel]

Naturally aspirated...no forced induction...superchargers aren't NA

[mikeisgod520]

wow your smart ya fucktard lol

[INSAINT369]

u made an idiot out of urself by even tryin 2 talk about cars dumb ass

just go jerk off or some shit

[INSAINT369]

see u understand my point

that dumbass mikeisgay520 is just a retard tryin 2 act like he knows some shit

he just got a big mouth

all he knows is how 2 run his mouth and suck dick

cuz see? now hes talkin shit 2 u just 4 sayin i had a point

[INSAINT369]

learn how 2 read u dumb ass apeshit motherfucker

wtf r u even on the internet 4 if u dont even understand the way ppl write online?

wtf r u like 60 or some shit?!

[INSAINT369]

dirty bitch nigger?

[mikeisgod520]

dirty=something not clean...bitch= suck my cock i own you....nigger=black....it makes sense. And buddy if i could do all those things I would. thanks!

[INSAINT369]

oh ok now i get it

u describing ur mom

hey u didnt have 2 start talkin shit if u wanted her back

u could of just asked

damn if that was the problem i'll get her 2 stop suckin on my dick and send her trampy ass back 2 ur house

[polishskatr]

ya he has it right GM would win. and your name is kinda retarded a challenger srt8 vs a ZR1 wouldnt even be a race the vette would destroy the challenger i weighs less and has way more hp.

[gojomantle]

does anybody know the actual top speed of this vehicle with no electronic governors?

[unclexbenny]

probably around 165

[gmuny92]

they are electronically governed to 155

[unclexbenny]

nah, that's the GXP. GT is around 135 with the governor.

[JWI01]

Search 'G8 0-155'... I think it still had some left in it as well. :-)

[ryu1036]

180 plus

[changaboy123]

nice thats still fast

[peepod2727]

all ls blocks are same block but different bore

[tidemandave]

Tuned out the governor on my G8. It will bump 160 I believe, but I don't have the gonads to try it. 145 is as fast as I've gone.

[mohammadVTC]

you a mega dum ass no taste

[Ls2GTOmurder]

looking to get a g8 gxp with a trade in, GXP top speed is 155 and my GTO was 160 stock but now have a chip. Their is nothing better than cruising 160-175. A few hundred extra dollars for a cheap is a deal to me to get that extra top end!

[LettegusZR1]

Oh haha, so its not faster to 62mph than a 550i and not even in top speed where as the BMW will easily get to 155mph limited.

[chava408]

gxp has 415hp and lb. ft.

[killdac]

thats the gt version its v8 361 hp the gxp is v 8 too but its 402 hp

[MrPePic21]

lol we got the g8 close to 155 with the air intake installed mabe this is the v6 version

[DaAceThree4]

the top speed is reprogramable from in the car, you can turn the limiter off. my dad got a blue GT about a week ago

[tylerluc17]

nice video name of song

[stephenswickedcool]

I've gone 173 with modifications to the chip

[benrici]

138 is the top speed i got my gt to that

[xxspreewellxx]

i got to 120 mph top speed on the g8 (not the gt)

[monkeywith4gun]

ive gone 140...thats not the topspeed....

[DeltaBoyy17]

You need to G8 GXP if you want to run harder.

[ktlplxm]

And how do you come to the conclusion its a lie? You can either change the rear tire height, or remove the speed limiter, with no other modifications, and do well over 150

[ktlplxm]

Dude you really need something on this car, my G8 topped out at over 150. You are missing out on something somewhere

[TRELL5044]

YALL LIE TO MUCH,140TOPS,

[tidemandave]

MIne ran 145 and had plenty of room to spare. I just ran out of nuts to hold it to it. The superchips cortex will eliminate the speed limiter.

[TRELL5044]

WHERE I GET THAT FROM?

[efthimios]

Go get a Tune man...not just to get to 155 (dangerous) but the tune will tighten up the shifts, and give you like 30rwhp..

[whatthehell1012]

Australian car American engine allway's a good mix:D Need the song name though!

[touchmywankel22]

is an australian engine in the G8s. its not a LS2, its a L76 holdens V8 which make 40 hp less.

[godanselmo]

All Holden v8s are from Chevys.

[pbjbmw]

I'd gladly trade 40 hp if it means that the engine will not disintergrate after a short time

[lmrcobalt]

lol the chevy small block is the MOST reliable V8 in the world troll.

[NickFormicola]

LS2 baby. The LS class of engines are GREAT.

[red07ls]

LS engines are bad ass, you're right about that. But the motor in the G8 is NOT an LS2.

[ktonno]

absolutely right, ^^ the Engine in the G8 GT is a L76, 6.0L with 361 bhp. which is basically a detuned LS3 so it can accept Active Fuel Management. FYI, if you didn't know already....

[NickFormicola]

Yeah, that was my bad, I figured out it was an L76 after a while.

But how could it be a detuned LS3? the LS3 is 6.2L and the L76 engine in the G8 GT is 6.0L. It seems like it more of a modified LS2 to me. Or it's a completely different block altogether.

[ktonno]

It has shorter stroke pistons, less compression in each cylinder. its not hard to add 200cc to an engine.... Its basically a LS3 block, with different internals

[INSAINT369]

australian? wtf? ur fucked up...

[jsmithprivatedancer]

If u want to kill yourself top it out. Signup for PILOT SCHOOL. Any speed over 100mph is dangerous. GM made a CAR u can sport and make the IMPORT GARBAGE Jealous. Believe me, the GUY who trys to RACE U would either END UP DEAD or END UP in the CAR SHOP. One day his LUCK will run out.

[Jksnk101]

dude what the fuck is your problem? i've seen you on like three different videos now always fuckin naggin. your not his fuckin mom. let him do as he fuckin pleases. yeah its fuckin dangerous. pretty sure he already knows that and he can prolly drive a lot better than you. plus with a name like yours you must be fuckin gay.

[romeyjdogg]

what's the song playing?

[08g8gt]

nice video! i have to ask, song name?

[mjduell]

Yup. the rev linited top speed. Tuner can remove this, then you can run up to 169
