500 HP Supercharged Pontiac G8 Firehawk | TIRESIDE

[Audio Hopefully Fixed]
Darrel shows us his awesome Pontiac G8 pushing over 500hp to the wheels with the help of a Magnuson supercharger that is included in SLP's Firehawk package for the G8. Only 23 G8's received the package making this car a pretty rare ride.
The Pontiac G8 is the North American version of the Australian Holden Commodore.

[@fredwaters3420]

What a badass car! Thanks for the video!

[@johncollins7423]

Oh wow, never knew SLP did a Firehawk G8! One bad-ass Poncho right there.😎

[@smokedawg7630]

Something about this guy gives me a feeling that he's not really a car guy, looks more like he should make videos about gaming or something Great car though i would love one

[@TIRESIDE]

smoke dawg lmfao maybe check out our other videos.

[@No-vm7go]

@@TIRESIDE Are your other videos also overwhelmed with tacky-ass music instead of focusing on the vehicle? Like the guy said, you're not a car guy, clearly.

[@calebyoung1579]

Uh, uh, um, uh, uhhh, um, someone uh before me, um, uhhh, at a certain speed and rpm, uh, its um, like a slot car, uhhhhhh. Sounds like he rehearsed this. And its auto. Both of these dudes wish they knew a fucking thing.

[@bferg9264]

@@calebyoung1579 No disrespect but don't be so negative! By the way the g8 gt generally all have automatic transmissions its the gxp trim that has a manual option!!

[@TheFarmersLife]

The dealer we bought our GT from had a G8 Firehawk in the showroom for a few years. Drooled over but never tried to make an offer on it. Still have the GT though!

[@joshseiter8526]

Owner - it's got about 500hp to the wheels 2.5 min later Interviwer- so how much power is it putting down

[@ZLwh1ne]

Then proceeds to say 530whp 🙄

[@priestofmegatallica]

He said it came with 500hp, not that it currently has 500hp

[@ZLwh1ne]

Something about this specific car and video is unimpressive..

[@josiahthibodeaux]

I got my heart set on a gxp, but if I could actually find a firehawk it’s over. Super rare car.

[@Yz85rider338]

This is for sale on 500+ hp facebook right now

[@phogetta1]

buy a g8 gt and put a supercharger on it. just a few upgrades and boom! u have something better than a Firehawk.

[@sciberplays1177]

Same bro I recently found a g8 gxp 155 OG miles fire $70,000 and I’m honestly thinking about it …

[@daves_craft_bbq_n_grill]

Nice video and bad ass G8. Just found your channel, will be subscribing and checking out your other videos.

Where did you get your paddle shifter set up at? I’m looking to get paddle shifters on mine as well

Why do people keep getting it wrong there's 25 500hp ones and 9 570hp GXP ones

[@SpikedTea_]

Under wow I didn't know that

[@4yules]

500 of the slp firehawks

[@KGsGarage]

They believe what they read on the internet.

[@travkeyes]

i put a after market supercharger on my brothers v8 g8 with new muffler system cold air and such and it ended up with around 595 to 625 horse power. depending on what it was set for that day. that car was so fucking powerful. it would freak people out seeing a 4 door stomp their mustang or camero into the dust. amusing to me

[@Toobclip]

I’ve only ever seen one fire hawk g8 my entire life. But we have a TA fire hawk in the garage.

[@VNOMVE]

Would anyone know where to get those tips?? They fit fricken perfectly

[@vincentwilliams354]

What's the name of the company that makes the paddle shifters and can I order the kit?

[@thomasnew8606]

super classy and clean looking car from the outside. Inside is a bit dated...but the outside is wonderful

[@billness2635]

As an 09 G8 GT owner (same Color as yours) that’s all stock and looking for a GXP, I was unaware of the SLP offering! I have a 94 Firehawk #142 and an 04 GTO (with a 6.0 TVS1900 and too many other upgrades to list), I’m going to search for a G8 Firehawk!

[@rcairforceone]

Bill Ness Super rare! I've had 2 G8 GTs, and am working on acquiring a three pedal GXP.

need to get rid of DOD on them for sure!

[@pontiacmaniac7772]

anonymous DOD destroys engines though

[@dnsean03]

Pump gas as regular or premium, cause the car stock uses regular 87 octane

[@FXIIBeaver]

This has a supercharger so 93.

[@FXIIBeaver]

@anonymous I know. I own one. I was just answering dude buddies question.

[@ThisDangCar]

Did anyone else hear the Cleetus McFarland reference at 12:24 lol I'd love to have one of these I'm quite happy with my Grand Prix but give it another 5 or 10 years maybe I'll be lucky enough to find one of these some rich dude bought for his kid to beat the shit out of and then get it on the cheap at police auction when he totals it 🤣

that slow goat the l76 is LS based as it has LS3 heads on basically an ls2 block. And I kinda doubt the Firehawk has dod.

[@mwb52888]

They made 250 of them, not 23. Still very rare, and (with inflation) it would have been about $70k today ($56k at the time). Insane performance for now, let alone when it was for sale.

[@christopherclaure6689]

the dialogue and production needs a lot of work.

[@iamasmurf1122]

Love ya VE commodore Australian built !! Assembled and built then shipped to the states !! These cars were best known for handling they made these 50/50 body weight ratios , nothing at all American really about this car in fact these cars are everywhere you turn here in Australia 🇦🇺 the front on these on the American version are UGLY !! If you want to be different change back to the Aussie front , the AFM (active fuel management ) on the 2009 model should be removed it’s about as gay as anything it shuts down 4 cylinders after only 60klm/hr however it does give you very good gas mileage for a V8 , these essentially an Aussie V8 not really Pontiac’s these are General Motors assembled under General Motors subsidiary company holden here in Australia VE holden commodores !!

[@heribertoabrego4429]

This is an abomination firehawk should only belong to the firebird

[@groovygrover190]

Ruined by " Huh, gay" music

[@TIRESIDE]

Tim Grover sorry you feel that way. Didn’t know 1 min of music can ruin a 13 min video. Have a good Christmas.

[@groovygrover190]

Merry Christmas ! Yes, if it was music? Production value is achieved when the music matches the tone of the video being produced. I guess "whatever that noise" is would match some chick in a G6, but this car is far from a G6. Do you actually listen to whatever that is? And if so, I commiserate

[@TIRESIDE]

Tim Grover well I like it. And I try to keep the music we use relatively consistent throughout our videos. I could have used some heavy metal or harder music to go along with the obvious v8 muscle car stereotype, but felt like something different. And it seems most people who have watched this video don’t mind the music.

[@pyrojason]

It’s funny- he said commiserate. Suppose he does like it after all.

[@calebyoung1579]

Hes talking about how many times this guy says "uh" or some variation of.
