Pontiac G8 Gxp Firehawk 1 Of 9 on 2040-cars

Pontiac G8 GXP Supercharged Firehawk 1 of 9 In 2009 SLP build 29 supercharged G8 Firehawks, nine of which were GXP’s. Each had a Supercharged Firehawk build number while the GXP’s had an additional Special Edition GXP build number referred to as SE. Of the nine GXP’s in the edition (numbers 21-29), only one was red and it was a six speed manual, #23 GXP SE#3. That is the car represented here. This car is equipped with every single option available to the G8 Firehawk series. Two tone interior, sunroof, six speed manual, upgraded six piston competition brake package, supercharger, SLP Sport Suspension Package, Firehawk 19” five-spoke wheels in gunmetal gray, SLP rear spoiler painted flat-black, a flat-black hood, flat-black grille-surrounds, a body-color painted lower fascia grille and Firehawk badges and floor mats. The car also comes with loads of paperwork and a special car cover. This particular car has a few additional upgrades. American Racing stainless steel headers were added to allow for maximum breathing, the Magnuson supercharger was sent to Magnuson headquarters where it was tuned and a cog-drive rear pulley added to go with a 3.0 front pulley. 65lb FIC fuel injectors and a Kenny Bell boost-a-pump were also additional. The car was then retuned on a Mustang Dyno delivering 576hp at the rear wheel with over 550’ lb of torque on 11lb of boost. (sales information refers to flywheel hp.) Words cannot begin to describe the deep throat tune and menacing idle this car has. The torque and constant pull through the rpm range puts this car in the top 1% of muscle street cars. Before the performance mods it ran low 12’s. With a 90hp gain after the mods, it’s estimated to run mid 11’s. This car is 1 of only 9 G8 GXP Firehawks ever made. It is a true collectors prize in every way and possesses all the muscle you would want on the streets with the class and manners to be civil if need be.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
