In April of 2008 Scott Cook, original owner of INTENSE-Racing.com, sold his 2004 Pontiac Bonneville GXP and purchased a brand new 2008 Pontiac G8 GT. A lot of hype had been leading up to the release of Pontiac’s latest RWD powerhouse vehicle and that alone was enough for Scott to purchase the vehicle without ever having seen one in person. The decision was made, the vehicle purchased, and the first modifications began development in the span of about three days.
Even though Scott’s goal with his G8 GT was not to make it a 1/4 mile drag car but rather a pure street speed machine it did hold the records for quickest and fastest turbo'd Pontiac G8 GT on the planet for more than two years. Intercooled twin turbos along with a host of other modifications help the 6.0L V8 produce nearly 900 horsepower and a ten second mile time. Pedder’s suspension upgrades and custom CCW rims sporting 305 tires on the rear help keep this insanely fast supercar under control even under spirited driving. With 0-60mph times in three seconds, a top speed over 200mph and handling to match this awesome street car is to be respected and feared.
This G8 GT looks just as good as it runs. Scott’s OCD nature makes sure that this G8 is kept in mint and immaculate condition inside and out. All of the custom gauge work was designed to blend seamlessly with the interior and even the included Valentine One and GPS system have been hardwired in to keep a clean appearance. The custom fuel system needed to keep up with power demand has been artfully and thoughtfully installed in the trunk, out of sight.
This unique Pontiac G8 was featured in the August 2012 issue of GM High-Tech Performance magazine. The article can be read here: http://www.gmhightechperformance.com/features/ghtp_1208_2008_pontiac_g8_gt_letting_go/viewall.html
All of the stock equipment for the car is included except for the original wheels tires and exhaust system. The original window sticker and all maintenance records are available as well.

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
