General Feature
Make no bones about it: GMHTP is hot for the new G8 GT. Gen IV horsepower, pushrod torque, and a good trans? Us GM lovers are used to that. But 361 ponies and a six-speed auto, installed in a solid and capable chassis and wrapped in sexy bodywork-with enough room to hold five adults-is definitely a new variation on Pontiac's "excitement" credo. I like it, I want it, I need to test it.
So when new Super Chevy editor Mike "Focaccia Bread" Ficacci wandered into my office to let me know that he was picking up a brand-new G8 GT, we immediately devised a plan of action: first, baseline drag testing at Raceway Park. Next, dyno testing. And finally, a tune and another track test-this time against a Mustang to make things interesting.
