420whp Pontiac G8 Feature | Gears and Gasoline

[@mainmanx9]

The music mixed in with the aspects of motors and tires topped off with the aesthetic music makes this video enjoyable. The commentary and facts were good as well overall this car is magnificent

[@ryanjoanette]

I only watched this because I have a G8 myself.... ^_^

[@Lamai73]

whats up FAM lol

[@feliperodriguez9785]

Ryan Joanette me too and mines red too and I love it never thought I would like a red car but I gotta say it looks clean lots of friends jelous

[@HORSEPOWER5280]

This video was amazing, the quality was awesome. This video makes me want to do the same mods to my G8. Great work guys!!!!! Subscribed

[@yourneighbor5396]

Cam that thing! It's about time bro!

[@LaFranceHart]

Heell yeah, you are sooo right! The video quality was awesome..... I kept saying that to myself as I was watching!!!

[@pontiacssholden2032]

i have a Pontiac ute same colour in Aus,stealth cam,heads done,otr,3 inch system,dyno 460 at wheels,great fun car,good investment

[@tombrown5586]

I wish I could see one in person

[@kyokushinkuma]

I love my G8 GT, mine is also cammed, ported rod modded intake and tb, upgraded valvetrain, and a ZL1 converter, made 430hp and 410tq to the wheels. I daily drive mine.

[@humbler1]

Right on, I have a 700hp, maggie tvs1900, cammed, full exhaust, pat g tuned, g8 myself and this was a great video showcasing the g8. Some BMR sway bars greatly improve the handling as well if they have any gripes with the cornering capabilities.

[@fredwaters3420]

I'll never get rid of my G8! Great video, thanks!

[@jakeandedgar]

This is unbelievable. My name is also Jacob, I have a 2008 Pontiac G8 GT. Bright red. Identical. Tall cam, 4000 stall converter, heads, exhaust. Beyond fun.

[@knackledack576]

I own and drive a g8 and what I’ve noticed with the handling of the car is that it will do corners and twisty shit (think mountain pass run) but for some reason any time you wanna put power done, the car wants to go straight. Even if your spinning and doing some illegal shit, the car wants to straighten its self out.

[@SmokenRubber]

I have one of these in Australia mine is 2011, perfect daily that I can have fun with on the weekends. Done a bit over 100,000 kms and still a holding up really well.

[@Denarkwaes]

Smoke & Rubber would you say its Holden up well?

[@TheTOGASS]

I bought one of these back in 08 ssv auto in silver ,about 8 months ago i bought an ssv g8 version utility here in oz i love them both great cars

[@wythetrumpet6419]

I bought my Pontiac G8 GT new in 2009. I have right at 75,000 miles on it and it has been a great car. Before I have any issues I am going to have the DOD fuel management removed and have a higher performance cam put in, along with tuned pipes and cold air induction. If the wallet allows I may have a supercharger put on as well. With a high performance tune I should be able to get 425 to 450 hp and with the supercharger around 580 to 600 hp. This car is a keeper. Enjoy that G8! Thanks for posting!

[@kylejohnson3382]

As far as intakes go, definitely look at the VCM over the radiator intake. Best one on the market hands down! I have it on my 2013 caprice and its fucking awesome! Looking at 20-50 HP gain from that intake alone! Dyno proven by the aussies. The ladder number is with a tune. But out of the box it's a noticeable difference. And the sound is amazing!!

[@mikecronis]

Pontiac rocks. GM: BRING BACK PONTIAC!

[@danielp6629]

I've gotta disagree on the handling aspect you guys keep saying straight line only.. You do know this car has a 50/50 weight balance and handles like an 2009 m5 right? By the looks of the front tires in one of the shots I'm gonna say possibly an alignment issue that's leading you guys to your outcome. Every person I've let drive my car in the twisties has been amazed at how it sticks and even more amazing is faces in the mid size cars I pass on road course events. Not saying it's the end all greatest car ever but saying a fully independent suspension car doesn't handle is like saying local cops let you off for speeding.. Just sayin =) Thanks for the video though..

[@Smithtobewith]

Who doesn’t love a badass 4door? I love walking Camaros and mustangs in my car

[@brandonh9016]

But your profile pic is a Camaro

[@ExcelsiorDDZ]

Great video, great car! I've had mine for just over 2 years now and driven 30k miles. It looks like Jacob has Corsa for the exhaust which you really can't beat for minimizing the drone and the nice sound it makes. Look me up if your ever in TX if you want to drive another one.

[@lukakapyro]

Ye his is very nice ive had mine for abt 2 months. Are you on g8board and is he up there?

[@jacobgoodwin1039]

i bought the car im feb. 2014 and have done every mod to it. the car has a cam, under drive pulley, Frankenstein racing ported/milled heads, titanium valves, vararam intake, Kooks longtube headers, xpipe, solo axlebacks, camaro 3.45 rear differential, all 4 cts-v 4 pot brakes, camaro ss front rotors, 2015 chevy ss rear rotors, camaro ss wheels, rear window diffuser, and front splitter.

[@jacobgoodwin1039]

*and bmr trailing arms

[@ExcelsiorDDZ]

+B GerK Yes. Name on there is Excelsior.

[@lukakapyro]

ExcelsiorDDZ OK THATS GREAT IM B_GERK

[@SRfastZ]

Just did headers on my g8 over the wkend. Great car and they sound Amazing with full exhaust.

[@_CashFlowTy]

Which headers did you do with ?

[@SRfastZ]

@@_CashFlowTy manzo cheap headers that i won. Direct fit to stock midpipe no issues.

[@cente1886]

My Favorite G8 video of about time!!👍👍👍

[@josermiranda8349]

Great piece.Although this car is great in corners too!!

[@nick-bx2kk]

I have a 400 rwhp and this car is my favorite to daily. Good luck finding one though, 6000 gts were made and 1800 gxps were made. I personally had to drive 4 states away for mine

[@sew04ss]

You can find one but be prepared to spend some $

[@MrLeeje713]

Amazing video

[@5ph4nx]

Automatic or manual, a fun car is still a fun car.

[@PR_GTR]

G8 is a classic ❤❤👍👍👏👏 and the best Pontiac and the GTO too.

[@zambha5446]

I love the joy in these guys! It's nice the yanks are enjoying our Aussie muscle. Respect!

[@HouseLightweight]

I only watched this to hear the bald eagles let loose when they went wide open throttle.

[@christian---7687]

Wish I can own one some day

[@joshualonshores8794]

l truly truly respect GM which has the 2016 Chevrolet ss with 417hp and 416 lb feet of torque.Seriously that is the most remarkable machine

[@SuburbanConan]

This cars' greatest achievement, along with its' brother the Chevy SS or Holden Commodore VF, was making the two door sports car the second choice for 6 days of the week. Great to get the Corvette or the Camaro or the Mustang or the Challenger out on Sunday for a coast run, but Monday to Saturday this cars keys were (and are) the ones you pick up. R.I.P Commodore 🇦🇺 R.I.P Holden 🇦🇺

[@Southerngin]

I'm so gonna copy his mods.

[@travistoole]

This is one of the cars I want most. 2nd is a 2005 Evo8

[@DillaWorld]

1:35 never gets boring

[@vezzarn]

This car is technically an import :\ But it's from Australia so it's fucking cool. I own one.

[@NEKBR8KR]

Love my G8, identical to the wheels of this one, my wheels are black and i blacked out all the chrome

[@holdenvess5736]

Time to put dampers on it.. to get more of that pop n crackle. Glad u like the car mate.

[@joeyheather6161]

clean ass intro holy shit

[@sew04ss]

@1:47 who car is that

[@Sadono]

nice short film :)

[@zbib43]

cant wait to get my gt to 400whp, full exhaust, cai, lth and a mild cam as well and I’m fine.. had mine for a month but I only got the cai lol, exhaust and headers by fall tho

[@CLANKGOLF]

Hey guys, love the G8, I am in Melbourne Australia and still love my VE SS Thunder Ute 6ltr - 6 speed auto... I've put a Group A Touring Car Cam and Higgins Stage IV Heads with bigger throttle body, bigger injectors, OTR cold air intake, tuned Genie 1&3/4 inch headers with X-Force Group A X 100 Hi-Flow CATS into solid Stainless Steel 3'inch system. It is MAFLESS tuned to run on BP Ultimate 98 octane fuel only, making 323rwkw(435hp) at the rear wheels. Being a ute - it is serious fun to drive unless it's wet, then it is a bit of a handful..... still loads of fun and sounds like a Aussie V8 Supercar... Might do a video of it and splice it with it's Dyno run at APS in Melbourne... These guys know how to build an engine and a racecar..! check them out in the Link below.. www.apsservicecentre.com.au/

[@AveryPlaysBass]

I knew I made a good decision subscribing to this channel. One of my favorite cars and one of my favorite pieces of music. Gymnopedie No. 1 FTW!

[@YNTGUNS]

I want one, im in the market for a new car and im debating on this or a 01 cobra

[@BakuganBrawler211]

Buy this it's so much better overall compared to the 4.6 cobra 2v they used in 2001 may not always beat the cobra because the Mustangs lighter and is manual plus more aerodynamic this is just newer it has a LS 3 top end and LS2 bottom end so you can mod this thing easily to say 600hp and keep a stock block so add a pro charger and eat you some rice and ponies all day long and fix the transmission for better shift points that's what I'd suggest I myself am looking into this too but as my first car I've chosen to buy

[@YNTGUNS]

+Tyler Walter the cobra comes with 320 hp stock with the 4v engine. I wish the g8 was manual

[@BakuganBrawler211]

+moneyhungryyt Still depends on if you're just performance or want something more of a higher end muscle car but I can understand if you want something purely for performance I'd probably get the 2001 Cobra if you like the old interior but I like the G8 more though interior wise

[@YNTGUNS]

+Tyler Walter ya g8 is def more comfortable and the interior is way nicer. Also stock for stock there about the same performance wise, although g8 pushes more hp

[@BakuganBrawler211]

+moneyhungryyt Yep and you could just get a super charger or pro hanger which will easily push you over 450 hp for only $5k and not have anything else to change like cans and that

[@nayjr2006]

Did you do anything to the suspension for this video with those sheels?

[@DanielLopez-ht4ov]

Sweetness...are those camaro wheels if so where did he get the center cap from

[@Danielo197]

I love my g8

[@fursol]

Daniel love my. G8 too!

[@hi-fi3889]

GM "bought in" to Holden over 80 years ago. Holden never made complete cars before they were a division of GM.

[@emeraldages]

6:00 wrong. This car is competitve with charger R/T.. Literally the only competition.

[@Gamma052]

Pretty nice wheels, what are they?

[@abdelazizali5562]

camaro 2010 - 2013 wheels

[@kuhndog52]

Ive got a G8 that makes 450 whp with a heavier hitting cam. Nice car this one is

[@DodgeandGMkiIIingFurdDaiIy]

What cam?

[@doughammett2810]

Love the song! instant like and sub from me. To bad i got rid of my g8

[@DodgerCityLos]

Fucking amazing car.

[@01OXFORDSVT]

Where's the mod list?

[@jacobgoodwin1039]

cam, under drive pulley, Frankenstein racing ported/milled heads, titanium valves, vararam intake, Kooks longtube headers, xpipe, solo axlebacks, camaro 3.45 rear differential, all 4 cts-v 4 pot brakes, camaro ss front rotors, 2015 chevy ss rear rotors, camaro ss wheels, rear window diffuser, and front splitter.

[@coopsnz1]

Wouldn't be much done to it . A ls2 came with 370 hp

[@coopsnz1]

Opps 400 hp

[@dangerousfreedom4965]

Jacob Goodwin car should be faster in the 1/4 then.

[@Dav3]

What rear window spoiler and front lip splitter? I have a liquid red gt with a maggie on it as well

[@jacobgoodwin1039]

ebay rear window spoiler and Bohnmans Customs front splitter.

[@ContrarianCrusade]

0:53 seconds "horsepowerzz"😂😂😂 wow

[@redneck405chevyguy7]

My cuz gto make 500 hp with nos it make 900 hp with no nos with drag slick it still spin like crazy

[@jamesbrady2352]

that's some quality shit.subd

[@Dylmark]

These are much faster and have a lot more torque in the manual. Much more enjoyable also. A auto is underwhelming tbh, unless it’s a turbo v8 etc. I drive the Aussie version

[@dangerousfreedom4965]

What exhaust?

[@user-fy4ow7po9n]

What exhaust system are you running im looking for that sound on my g8 thanks

[@kylejohnson3382]

Pretty much same setup as I have on my 2013 caprice PPV. Kooks 1-7/8"X 3" long tube headers, kooks 3" x pipe to solo axlebacks. Only difference is I have a Catless X pipe and he has high flow cats.

[@kylejohnson3382]

www.LMperformance.com for headers and X pipe. And solo axlebacks can be had from Amazon. Look for the coupons on late model performance's site.

[@dangerousfreedom4965]

Exhaust mods?

[@midnightflamethrower9708]

What size exhaust bruh??????

[@raulnieves8462]

questions what cam does he have and what exhaust system

[@jacobgoodwin1039]

custom grind comp cam and kooks 1 7/8 lt headers, kooks 3' high flow cats and xpipe, and solo axlebacks

[@raulnieves8462]

Thanks

[@jacobgoodwin1039]

+RAUL NIEVES no problem man well worth the investment to bring the car alive. Also has a dod delete

[@Tromero209]

Love these cars , they're nucking Futs

[@jacobgoodwin1039]

Amen!

[@Lil_boatg8]

I wish i could get a video like this i make 426 wheel with a cam😢

[@葛炎-k5p]

i want one

[@chaleboy60]

I can honestly say u hate the 2dr GTO but love the 4dr ones they are better looking to me

[@marvinnichols9998]

look up g8s of houston on facebook

[@jasonm9264]

As far as modded G8s go, this is pretty much low end power wise.

[@daleedwards9751]

As far as comments go, yours is pretty much low end intelligence wise.

[@derekrobinson5282]

so supposedly 420whp is how much at the Crank?

[@jacobgoodwin1039]

420whp is too the wheels.

[@derekrobinson5282]

Jacob Goodwin I get that Jacob.....I was asking, how much is that at the cranks/flyweight. Like an estimated guess

[@jacobgoodwin1039]

+Derek Robinson probably close to 500

[@derekrobinson5282]

Jacob Goodwin thanks Jacob. I've got a 420whp GTO it only makes 399rwtq though and was just wondering

[@jacobgoodwin1039]

+Derek Robinson since this video I've changed the cam. I'm running the rcr dragmaster and 3200 stall. it's at 430whp and 395wtq

[@cardboardrob1]

I have a 2009 Pontiac g8gt. My wife calls it my Grampa car. Lol until I smash the throttle. 440 horse hang on.

[@coopsnz1]

Pretty much hsv in Aus power train

[@mikey15red49]

coilovers?

[@jacobgoodwin1039]

h&r Springs and koni struts

[@ZoneMC4]

Jacob Goodwin Did the Koni shocks bolt right up? How's the ride quality with the Koni shocks and HR springs?

[@joshualonshores8794]

outstanding and seriously mind blowing...Now.l wish Ford could bring the ford falcon xr8 to the US seriously just think about a 5.0L coyote Ford 4-door sedan 450 horses 430 LG of torque seriously consumers will buy it like hotcakes left and right come on just to look at it I Mustang doing the powerband is doing it but if a 10 speed transmission for the 10-speed transmission rear wheel drive 355 gears or 373 gear..

[@davidu6551]

Instead of doing these mods, you could buy a g8 gxp with a manual transmission

[@RB25luv]

No ls3 I think is l99

[@Tromero209]

It's an L76 which is essentially just a detuned 6.0 LS2 with cylinder deactivation. Most people just delete the cylinder deactivation and put a small cam in it and they get this beautiful beast ^_^

[@jasonm9264]

+Tromero209 and less compression

[@Mewws]

shame the auto boxes in these are absolute shit. the manuals are bulletproof though

[@mistadigz7203]

A cam, aftermarket heads with supporting mods and only makes 420whp... smh.. that can't be real. That's a 450whp build at the least..

[@Ill06Taco]

this is an import.....

[@brandon18054]

+Ill06Taco Yea, what's your point?

[@Ill06Taco]

+brandon18054 read the description

[@brandon18054]

Ill06Taco Ok well yea technically it is an import and they probably didn't realize that, but it's still got an American drivetrain and is a General Motors car since they own Holden, just built in another country. My Dodge was built in Canada (way before Chrysler was purchased by Fiat) but I still consider it an American car

[@rubberman2006]

I also own a G8. “It’s an Australian car imported with Pontiac badges. “ But failed to mention you have Camaro wheels.

[@johnthiessen4749]

Your music doesn't suit this car, gentlemen, bad choice.

[@crazywarriorman]

Yes it does. This was uploaded on a cold December day, where all you want to do is sit inside and stay warm. The music puts you at ease when you first come to the video. Let's you know that these guys have a little bit of class VS the crazy, ear splitting dubstep that is on most review channels.
