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.

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem

Thu, Feb 13 2014

General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile

Sun, 29 Apr 2012

Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

Sun, Nov 28 2021

John DeLorean began his career working on Packard's Ultramatic Twin transmission, but he made his greatest mark on the automotive industry during his 1956-1969 tenure at GM's Pontiac Division. There, he helped develop the first production car engine with a quiet timing belt instead of a noisy chain, among other engineering feats, but his real fame came from the development of two money-printing models based more on marketing than machinery: the GTO and the Grand Prix. While the GTO gets all the attention now, the Grand Prix set the standard for the big-selling personal luxury coupes that sold like mad for decades to come. Today's Junkyard Gem is an example of the most powerful Grand Prix available at the turn of the century, found in a Denver-area self-service yard during the summer. The Grand Prix got front-wheel-drive for 1988 and a sedan version for 1990, but then something very beneficial happened in the 1997 model year: supercharging! Various flavors of the venerable 3.8-liter Buick V6 engine (itself based on the early-1960s Buick 215 V8 and thus cousin to the Rover V8) received Eaton blowers, starting in the 1992 model year. The Grand Prix didn't get its introduction to forced induction until the 1997 model year, but it kept the boosted option until the final Grand Prix rolled off the line in 2008 (the final Pontiac followed within a couple of years). This one made 240 horsepower, making it King of Grand Prix engines until the 2005 model year (when the GXP and its 303-horse V8 engine showed up). The very last year for a Grand Prix with a manual transmission was 1993 (there had been a three-pedal Grand Prix drought from 1973 through 1988, just to put things in perspective), so this car has the mandatory four-speed automatic. The Grand Prix lived on GM's W platform for its last two decades, making it sibling to the Impala, Regal, and Intrigue in 2001. Until the 2004 model year, every W-Body Grand Prix was built at Fairfax Assembly in Kansas City (no, theÂ other Kansas City). Production of the final generation of Grand Prix took place in Ontario. It seems fitting that this car's final pre-crusher parking spot would be between two other GM products of the same era: a Monte Carlo and a Vibe.
