Dave's Supercharged 2009 G8 GXP on the Dyno

[benno5151]

Pffft. that car was designed and made in Australia.. Holden Commodore is its real name.

[doubleaaaron]

Nice car. love the color.

[MrAristes]

Awesome car. I still mourn the Death of Pontiac. Livernois is top rate. Their customer service is outstanding. I have their Stage II heads on my Z28 and they answered all of my questions and sent me a bunch of stickers. Good job!

[powercamaro87]

im sorry but how is it a poor mans cts-v other than being both branded by GM, cadillac uses more sophisticated engineered motors than there lower end vehicles which might i also add, are extremely expensive to maintain. At least these simple minded folks working the LS projects at GM know the back of there hand and at least think of consumer reviews before going back on the drawing board. Not like cadillac where we put an alternator in a place where removing the radiator is essential for access

[nyp213]

@powercamaro87 i agree with you a 100% man

[onebadg8]

@powercamaro87 cadillac uses the EXACT same engines found in chevy/pontiac lol. there is nothing mechanicaly different with the engine or transmissions

[powercamaro87]

@onebadg8 ..........im sorry if im out of line here..... but are you seriously that fucking retarded?

[powercamaro87]

@onebadg8 Northstar motors are Dual over head cam V8's, and the crank case is completely different. you are seriously making an idiot out of yourself

[playbass0612]

That sounds amazing!

Where did you get that "R" badge, anyway? Looks pretty sick on its own.

[meblack07dodge]

I hate that I lost mine in the divorce. What's worse is that she couldn't afford it and had to trade it in... :.(.

[rnfall9]

@meblack07dodge Bitches!

[2bidfilmsguy]

ita a poor mans ctsv

[getitboi89]

@2bidfilmsguy i would say poormans Corvette being its the same engine.. But still there's nothing cheap about $45,000 plus mods

[2bidfilmsguy]

@getitboi89 yea but used there not bad for what your getting

[Bobbyeagle]

@getitboi89 For the man who wants to fit 5 people in his corvette

[KPY33]

@ledbetterbrothers I don't get people who try to make their trucks fast. Fuck sake, they aren't for racing, they are for towing and hauling. If you wanted something fast you shouldn't have got a truck in the first place.

[KPY33]

@ledbetterbrothers "My next vehicle will be a car." What the fuck? You say all this GREAT shit about having a truck, then go on to say you'll get a car next. It's obvious that you regret getting a truck in the first place, dumb fuck.

Dumping money into a truck is an overall waste of money. Instead of pouring money into a truck that wasn't MEANT to be fast, you could have just started with a fairly quick car and added mods to THAT. Use your brain, it's obvious that you like to piss money away.

[JonathanGuthridge]

Oh my Gosh that was awesome. I had never seen a dyno before. Wow. Engines are amazing. I loved the sound!!!

[bigrudeth]

omg that sound is so beautiful and just a lovely car bad ass that thing is a beast good video man. hey just wondering because i have a grand prix gxp with the 5.3 ls4 v8, i want to supercharge it but would it fit under the hood? if anyone knows please let me know

[GXPFiend]

@bigrudeth There is none. I wanted that for my GXP too in the worst way. I sold it and got a G8 GT.

[bigrudeth]

@GXPFiend ah alright thanks, im just gonna save for a new 2012 camaro z28 when they come out. :D

[GXPFiend]

@bigrudeth Yea those are going to be sick.

[1omfgorz1]

that car sucks my friends car i a Pontiac g8 gxp and it has 840hp to the flywheel and 710hp to the wheels and its only magnacharged boosting 10 psi and tuned and its the first supercharged g8 gxp in the united states

[xbladerunner]

@1omfgorz1 please show us all this 840HP GXP car you speak of. With video of the dyno run. If not then you are just another troll hating. LOL!!!

[lcurtizz]

@1omfgorz1

[99LS1SS]

Bad ass car Blade! I'm getting my 2300 in 3 weeks and I can't wait!

[08turboSS]

Really why did you slap fake R badges on it? It's supercharged, put an S on it or something or put the Holden badging on it to be truly proper.... 100-140 in 4.5 sec... Not bad at all.....

[xbladerunner]

huh thats funny, I thought they badges looked pretty real the last time I looked at them. Maybe I should go back and see if they are still there. Yep, still there. Nothing fake about a 620HP G8.

[bjmsamrlm]

What's going on around 5300 RPM?

[xbladerunner]

I dont know but I sure dont feel it in the car.

[650hpG8GXP]

Stryker blue is an awful color along with the liquid red. It reminds me of the rally/rice rocket blue on the STi's.

[xbladerunner]

The R is not for everyone I understand. Many may not realize that a GXPR does exist. Its called the G6 GXPR and is apart of GM LeMans Racing program. However I did the "R" as a tribute to the Bathurst VXR8. I thought about adding the R after doing the supercharger. I figured that if Pontiac would have stayed around they may have called this car a GXPR. I just beat them to it. LOL!!! But really, I like all the comments good or bad at least people are talking. Take care.

[mrpig286]

Well, as long as you have a good reason for it. :-)  Perhaps have some custom badges made so it looks more the part than the boy racers who slap fake Buick portholes and an "R" on anything and everything. Sweet car though, my buddy Dave has a GXP the same color, still stock for now.

[650hpG8GXP]

Not for everyone? It should be for no one! Laughable.Cheers

[mrpig286]

Beautiful car, sounds amazing, but I had a good laugh at the "R".  Please tell me you are kidding...

[salio34]

damn! very niiiiiice

[xbladerunner]

Thanks for the comments guys and yes that car is mine.

[fredturd]

I have one, too. (Silver M6 Roof Onyx)

I am not crazy about the add-on 'R' thingy. It means rice unless you are talking about the 60's Ford R code 428 on the VIN or the 2000 Cobra R.

[bnbssll]

that is beautiful

[xbladerunner]

Hum I know that car. LOL!!!! Great job guys I can wait to get her back!

[thegoof529]

thats yours?

[JoeBird76]

.....:O

[nebdrummer]

hell yeah! look at that speedo climb!

[triplexxxsatyr]

Holy hell...
