Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

WTF?





I like that sound! both coming toward you and going away!

factory supercharged?????? that almost looks like a shop threw a kit on it, and they were out behind the building testing it.
 
I saved that video to my YouTube favorites almost a year ago. ;) They don't come supercharged, that was added on. But I never get tired of hearing those things roar.
 
good god....... if GM actually did this they wouldnt need a handout!! i think i just creamed myself... yep i did....
 


If GM did that here for the US market, they wouldn't sell. People are already complaining that $32k is too much for a G8 GT, and the GXP coming out in a few months STARTING at $40k is "a rip off". So what would people say to another $2k - $3k for a supercharged model? Americans are extremely unreasonable. They want a 500hp car, they want it to get 30 MPG, and they want it all for $20k.
 
Heck, I'd like to get a decent station wagon. I will NOT buy a mini van, and US car companies only sell "sport wagons." It's a freaking station wagon - it gets the decent gas mileage that cars get, with much of the room that mini vans have. I almost got a Magnum before I got my Impala, but since Chrysler doesn't give a crap about gas mileage, I skipped it. I'm disappointed the G8 station wagon was canceled; I would have picked that up. Just because you have 3 children under 10 doesn't mean you don't want to still have fun when you're driving!

Click to expand...

agree with that completely!
 
YEA...from what I have heard it is just a mock up from the Magnacharged G8. Pretty universal and it isn't new technology as they used it on the GTO/TB SS, etc. with the LS2 ;)
 


This doesnt make sense...

House of Boost has 638HP, while Intense has 723................

I wonder who has the fastest G8 now? I think that video is a bit old...
 
Well, funny thing is the HOB G8 is running on pump gas...a fly by night tune AND 14 psi

What is Intense using? Just wondering really...btw that video was made a few weeks ago, he ran it @ KCIR and I was talking to the guy the 30th of Nov. It aint old.
