Modified Pontiac G8 GT - (Texas) One Take

[@matthewd6306]

That guy is super chill. You know he probably smoked 2 joints before this video.

[@squeezylemons8357]

Nah he's fucking nervous about letting someone else driving his car

[@julianjohnson4844]

😆

[@LongRon6969]

I think the G8 and SS are very under appreciated. Big sedans with big V8s are my favorite type of car.

[@DamianSabre]

I would kill to own an SS. And then insurance would kill my wallet. lmao

[@BigDavoNorriwong]

+Dubya Bush Not underrated in Australia...It's all you see here

[@atrixmatrix]

+Dubya Bush agreed.Also I always thought the jeep SRT8 was sick.

[@BigDavoNorriwong]

bardownaint $22, 000 with about 80-100,000km

[@ValenNitto]

The ss is way expensive though, I've only seen one in town but that's because the owner loves bowties.

[@ronniehardaway]

Are his knees weak? Are his arms heavy? Is there vomit on his sweater already?

[@banjo556]

riding passenger in your own performance car takes your anxiety over 9000. I did it once and It was a sketchy feeling, not relaxing at all lol

I delayed buying a G8 GT for 3 years due to the auto transmission. I now own a white G8 GT and regret not buying one sooner. Bogan 4 life!

[@Erichilli]

Finally! I've been waiting for Matt to do a "One Take" on a G8 GT. I wanted to hear his constructive criticism on it. Thanks Mike for letting him take yours for a good run. The Aussies made a great balanced RWD V8 as usual. I drive mine year round here in the Northeast and love it.

[@EVGrinds]

I've been wanting this for a loooonnnggg time! Thank You Matt!

[@harpella]

I just sold my dark grey metallic G8 and this makes me wish I didn't! :( You know you have a nice car when every time you park it you always glance back at it as you walk away. I live in Canada and with winter tires it was a great all year round car. The traction control worked great in the snow.

[@Treeman5744]

I'm about to buy the manual wagon version of GXP. Good to hear people still appreciate these type of cars.

[@mitchellmitchell6938]

Dang. I weighed my g37s purchase with the g8. I went with the g37s because the performance was close. But g37s can't be tuned easily. This guy is easily making 100 more whp with very little mods. I chose wrong lol

[@grocerylist]

+Mitchell Mitchell Maybe chose wrong for performance but those GM interiors are cringe and though the LS is pretty reliable the Infiniti is probably better for overall reliability. Sad that the G8 with all that power probably gets way better mpg than the G37s.

[@bUtMyRiGhTs]

+grocerylist The G37 Coupe gets EPA fuel economy figures of up to 19 mpg city, 27 highway. The G8 gets 15 city / 24 highway. He also turned off the DOD...

[@jashy66]

never too late to trade in

[@Jarpo_L2]

+Chris P. Turning the DOD off hasn't really impacted my mileage as with many other G8 owners very significantly, a few MPG drop overall. I'm still averaging 19 and I drive mine rather harshly

[@Simple_Cory]

+Mitchell Mitchell If you enjoy the driving the car then you didn't pick wrong.

[@WrongFromWright]

I absolutely love this car. In the market for one right now!

[@stuna101a]

I loved the 6.0 liter GTO. The interior was amazing for it's day and it had serious power for late 2005. Having 400hp for a relatively affordable car was unheard of back then. I remember driving one and the tires would chirp everytime the auto tranny would shift and was in utter amazement.

[@scanspeak00]

It's very sad that the Commodore is about to go the way of the dodo.

[@DaddytechEnt]

+scanspeak00 Don't count them out yet. every time you think they are gone or about to be they have this insane ability to rise from the burning ashes once again.

[@wuzihuzi]

And with the SS-v Redline we say goodbye

[@MrCrowart]

And now mate they have closed the factory, no more cars being built in Australia no Holdens, Fords and now Toyota

[@CycleMaxx]

I feel this guys the king of pointing out the obvious... you watch the videos and are non the brighter about cars afterwards. Its most interesting to see the types of individuals that own the car. Hear what they know and their actual opinions and facts about ownership. Aside from personal opinions and experience driving a broad range of cars its always good to have actual substance and factual knowledge to share in quality Automotive videos geared for this type of entertainment.

[@chrissorreda4982]

Regarding the shifting, when you accelerate, you get pushed back into the seat hence pulling back to shift up's more logical. That's why sequential gearsticks work that way. Vice versa when breaking, you get pushed forward so pushing forward takes less effort or balancing with your body.

[@Wtrxprs007able]

EXACTLY!! why can't manufacturers see this and not have shift up as forward push

[@robertjdm]

Thank god someone else gets it!!! My BMW is the right way around. Pull back to up shift and push forward to down shit. Well if I don't use the paddles.

[@krisrawk1817]

Gotta respect true car people that literally understand & know/learn things about there car.. Like this guy stated having the ls2 bottom end with ls3 top end & unique cam shaft vs you asking some one "what makes the car so special" & your like "hell idk" then you Are not exactly a car enthusiast if you honestly can't tell some one the difference of the models & what yours does have vs not have.. Take the tme to research & learn your cars & you might be surprised. Awesome video i love seeing the owners facial expressions when you really begin to lean onto it as if there worried there car is going to break down out something lol

[@grenmastermike]

my name is mike, and I drive an 06 GTO, I LOVED this video!

[@colbyperry3325]

Hell yeah mate good for you

[@MrSoxVictory]

+mike grennek Hi mike

[@ut2k4wikichici]

if any yanks or Aussies are thinking about getting one of these even the older ones from the 90s do it they are great cars thanks for the awesome video too matt Farah glad you haven't sold out like all the other journos

[@RPProductions]

Hey Matt, if you ever find yourself back in Texas and want to drive a Scat Pack let me know. I'd be more than happy to let you drive mine!

[@TheSmokingTire]

I already did one. Airs next week

[@RPProductions]

Ahh gotcha! Looking forward to it!

[@jimm5091]

and all fellow Australian subscribers come to preach the mighty VE commodore

[@DaddytechEnt]

+Frankly Ratratiano it's only too bad they don't sell it in the UTE version here. i know there are right and left hand drive kits you can order here and have a company in California "build" them for you here but it's not the same. plus it's way more expensive going that route too.

[@Wtrxprs007able]

I wouldn't call the VE mighty but patriotism does bring us to this video

[@coopsnz1]

Hsv the real deal

[@Gnik4144]

I enjoy watching these types of videos. Great job.

[@rblbatb]

Cool car. great sounds. I always liked the G8 GT and GXP.

[@jasonroth376]

I know people want the gxp but this is probably one of the best dailys. Great looking, enough power to leave the engine mostly alone and still have a lot of fun, room for the family, and for stop and go city traffic that auto transmission... and I still want the gxp

[@thecamlog]

His palms spaghetti, knees weak arms spaghetti, there's spaghetti on his spaghetti already, mom's spaghetti

[@K0E0M0O]

1:25 .. Well, that was a nice fly by !

[@05EVORS]

You guys worried about G8 supply in future dont worry, Chevy SS is just the newer GXP G8 currently being sold w LED lighting and nicer guts, Also US police 'Caprice' (Saudi Luminas) L-76 cars will be at auction for $8-10k all day long pretty soon for the ultimate rental Sleeper

[@iancole85]

Sweet ride, looks and sounds fantastic. These things are current and future classics, I really doubt you are going to lose money buying a clean, low-mile example.

[@spaided]

I always wanted a G8! Too pricy for a car that old though, bc, it'd have to be the GXP!

[@nino6926]

The Gxp only has 50 hp more, the difference isn't huge 0-60 for gt is 5.2 0-60 for gxp is 4.5

[@everydaysurvivalgear]

Like every other aussie i am here to represent!!! Its good to have products that are recognized across the world!

[@holdenrbest]

Ooh nice. I do love when people drive aussie cars and like em.

[@doctorlobsteroctopus]

Keep coming back to Texas Matt, we've got a great car culture.

[@TheSmokingTire]

+doctorlobsteroctopus I like going to Texas, the people are very nice. Too bad there are so few good roads.

[@doctorlobsteroctopus]

+TheSmokingTire If you ever have a meet here or go to one, I'd travel down there. There's some surprisingly canyon-esque roads a little north west of San Antonio, heading out to Comfort, TX. Surprisingly new, and in the middle of nowhere.

[@iancole85]

+TheSmokingTire Definitely a lot of love for you down here dude! Have you driven any of the hill country routes nearer Austin?

[@doctorlobsteroctopus]

+Ian exactly what I was thinking and just saying, there's some really bomb roads over there.

[@TheSmokingTire]

+Ian yes I drove the COBB Ecoboost Mustang on a very nice road outside austin. We did the /DRIVE Texas Special last year there as well; it was good. But like I said, so few.

[@TheBuntajames]

if you have steered one you would understand the comparison. sweet turn in. chatty steering, sweet powerdown, excellent damper control. and loves an arm full of oppy lock. well the commodore ss does. and that's what this is.

[@re20bt]

Showing the love from Australia :D

[@HMVEE]

What a great sound! I like it.

[@jp5402]

Thanks for the Flyby's/exhaust clips.

[@skagerstrom]

Nice to hear that we share the sama opinion about the up and down on the shifter :D

[@flyacrosstexas]

Next time you're in Texas you should stop by the DFW area!! I know a lot of people that would be ecstatic to bring their builds out!

[@403Pantera1]

sounds real nice. don't get me wrong i would walk right past it not even look at it...but the sound is there.

[@BboyMobster]

G8 gt to this date is the best car all around that I have driven. Power and balance like no other car in its class/weight for the price.

[@dlee6985]

I wonder what the 8 Mile time is.

[@Mrnoodlezxd]

😏

[@christianfabrizio525]

haaaa

[@BornToBeFamed]

All they need is bolt ons and tune, and some 342 or 373 gears and its good to go.

[@hang10surferz]

Iv wanted a g8 for a while now but I'm only 17, I hope theirs still some in good condition when I can actually buy one myself

[@Willster7471]

Look for some on an online insurance auction. I've found V6 8's for as low as 5-6k

[@Kvndy]

+Willster7471 that would be a waste to get a v6 g8....

[@ForTheStyle]

As a current V6 owner I would advise against getting a G8 with the V6. The worst part about the car is the Slow, Sloppy & Inconsistent Transmission. It's practically unbearable without a Tune. The Interiors are also prone to squeaks & rattles. It is otherwise a very reliable car in my experience.

[@dangerousfreedom4965]

I agree his shifter is set up correctly "up is up"👍

[@RandomInternetDog]

Houston Texas? I've got a 86.5 Porsche 928 just down the road if your itching to drive another one. Its the last of the old body cars. I might even be able to throw a line out and find a GTS with a cool owner to put you in touch with.

[@TheSmokingTire]

These were shot over a month ago

[@RandomInternetDog]

+TheSmokingTire I thought as much. You still need to get a GTS on the show. There's only a handful in the US and they were an amazing swan song for the 928.

[@RandomInternetDog]

+Vee-Inline "Hurrdurr so funnay with my shitty vw golf."

[@marccaruso1351]

absolutely, Matt, that shifter is backwards! way funner to kick the auto-stick backwards for the next highest gear, then trying to push it forward. much more natural feeling the other way around. almost a deal-breaker for me, and i'd take the auto-stick (in the right config.) over a couple of stupid paddles as well! and that's that, jack!

[@DanielGeerts]

I've been waiting for the G8 GT one take for some time, glad a fellow G8 owner knew his stuff :) Side note, G8 owners hate when you ask/call it a G6, so don't.

[@thegentleman90]

I keep getting asked "is that the GTO?"

[@19chucki74]

If Pontiac had lasted a couple more years, they would have brought the great looking Sportwagon over here. Wish they would've released the Ute before closing its doors.

[@19chucki74]

You know you're making me immensely jealous right now, right? Freakin' government's trying to shove more regulations down our throats with high gas mileage, makes me sick.

[@nwvfd22]

5:55 "... that really masks speed." You have no idea. I let my father borrow mine to go to Indy and he was merging onto the interstate at a 105 mph before his passenger asked "Who are you racing?". Very fast, very fun, very underappreciated and very sadly missed.

[@MitchDenham]

Fuck'n Straya! ... However while I used to like the VE Commodore, I'm always cautious around them 'cause they're cop cars... Also, BK Performance Wheels have two-toned them and turned them into the iconic bogan car of choice... This dude's "Pontiac" is pretty cool, would have been better if it was manual :)

[@Low97ss]

Can't wait to see the SRT-10 Ram in the background

[@Fireblaze15]

[@i_read_bad_reviews]

+MrMclarenmagic where is it??

[@hertzer2000]

Sounds incredible, well done!

[@G8GT364CI]

I bought a brand new 09 G8 GT in 2008, still have it, it's tuned, got ram air induction and a few other things, I had the resonators taken off, don't know the HP but it's fast. It's got about 138,000 miles on it and runs like a top. I'm going to look into a Solo axel back system, the drone still drives me nuts after almost 8 years, haha!

[@RobShootPhotos]

Matt, thanks for confirming that the shifter feels backwards! I thought it was just my left handedness.

[@SofaKingTouge]

hey i have a solo mach exhaust in my solstice. actually drove up to their shop in ny and they put in the exhaust and downpipe. same day i got the trifecta tune. week before i put falken tires on it. anyways went up their with 260hp and drove hone with 340hp. what a fun weekend. the solo mach is nice because its not crazy loud and annoying.

[@SofaKingTouge]

[@4dshow]

This uses the Zeta platform which is also whay underpins the Camaro.Which also underwent testing in Australia.

[@4dshow]

[@TheSmokingTire]

No

[@kyleyoung7558]

Lets hope that doesn't happen

[@sluvington]

+Ben No Depends what you mean by "freak accident"..... Pretty easy for an animal to absolutely destroy a car and I would not classify an animal collision as a "freak accident". I hit a raccoon going 40 in a 45 at night and it caused well over 1000 in damage. Absolutely obliterated my radiator and intercooler, bumper, grill, all types of stuff.

[@kettech16]

+MangoJuice I believe he had to write a cheque for a Civic, but that was out on a track in New Zealand I think?

[@scottcooneymusic6736]

That's a bad omen brother. People should keep those questions to yourselves lol Farah doesn't need to hear that nonsense.

[@Ober1kenobi]

at some stage you need to come to Aus and drive a FPV. People are having HUGE results with a tune. Still love my commodores, my mates ls1 VY Screams like it was the devil. Both good cars, and Imo, different applications. Oh and you have to drive a V8 Ute!!! just do it on a track ;)

[@GregHuston]

The best Pontiac is a Holden! I really liked the Holden Commodore VF that I drove for a few weeks down in Aus even with a V6, I really want to find a G8, SS or even a PPV Caprice to have some fun with.

[@Gh3fishing]

matt your awesome man! call me crazy but your page keeps me going sometimes, my dream is to have you one take my car someday

[@Gh3fishing]

+Aspen Look well actually he drove a 1000 horsepower honda oddessey! but either way that should t be a problem; my 07 shelby gt500 convertible already have 650 horsepower and the build is always ongoing

[@Gh3fishing]

+George Hensley *has

[@CoziHasSauce]

To be honest I prefer the more VE Commodore a bit more than the VF. Reckon it looks tougher, not too modern and I like the simple interior. Doesn't detract too much from the driving experience too.

[@gpet23]

True!!!

[@savancleveland7756]

It is so hard to watch these recent videos due to the fact that you are in Sam Houston territory. I go to their rival school, Stephen F. Austin State University. Great car man!

[@danielp6629]

Nice episode =).. I own a '09 with similar mods except DOD delete and a ls9 cam and was debating on getting in touch with you since I hadn't seen one on the show.. I'm way up in Northern California though.. Maybe once I get my TVS 2300 and If your ever up this way I can get you in one with 200+ more HP =)..

[@ed897]

You were sort of right, it is somewhat a commodore but its actually a lot better. With holden they have their normal company and normal cars which the commodore is one, then they have this other thing called HSV (Holden Special Vehicles ) where they have their suped up cars that basically have the same look as the commodore each car in the HSV range has something a little different added looks wise anyway. The pontiac gt is more like the HSV GTS or maybe a Clubsport R8

[@E92M3]

+The EDRgaming yeah but the HSV range has the LS3 with 6.2L displacement on the clubsports senators and so on..

[@carsaregood911]

+The EDRgaming I'm quite sure it's just called a Commodore SS in Australia

[@wadeshinners437]

I'd say the G8 gt would be an SS commo and the gxb or whatever it is would be a clubby or a GTS

[@ed897]

+Imad S i am from aus, the pontiac gt is far more powerful than a commodore ss

[@ed897]

+DUB Productions maybe i think the g8 gt would be a bit more powerful than an ss commodore though

[@kroffustsnail]

sounds dope. I really like those style wheels.

[@DBGMLV]

I don't get why car manufacturers keep making the shifters backwards. On VWs they are backwards, on Porsches they are backwards, on Audis they are backwards, but on a much more pedestrian Mazda it is the right way round.

[@Buffington916]

Well considering all 3 of those brands are the same company, that might explain why they all go the same way..lol

[@audiwankenobi361]

Sam hit you hard with that observation didn't he?!....GO VAG!

[@Stephen981cs]

Porsche finally wised up and the 718 boxster has the shifter in the right direction. Their GT cars always had it correct though.

[@davidrogers3423]

I've got a 2009 405 rwhp g8 gt you could drive if you come to alabama. I have to give it to Holden. They designed a great car. I discovered my first Holden part when I replaced the washer pump.

[@iiL30N23]

What're your modifications 😬

[@davidrogers3423]

+iiL30N23 ls3 cam, titanium springs, dod delete, ls7 lifters, comp cam trunion upgrade, 3.27 camaro rear end, pace setter long tube headers, slp high flow cats, e3 plugs, dyno tune. I can't take credit for the upgrades though. I was lucky enough to buy it off a dealership after it was traded in. looking forward to forced induction if I ever get the cash though.

[@iiL30N23]

+David Rogers man that's nice. I'm saving up for a cam now so I can break 400hp(:

[@Machineheadtim]

Matt whens that OneTake event going to be in NC

[@justinwaite26]

totally agree with what he said about the shifter..i have a b6 s4 with triptronic. ..up is shift up...I think it's backwards. ...should be sequential style.

[@downhilldaddy5282]

Welcome to Texas Matt 🤠

[@dangerousfreedom4965]

Reference the exhaust is it the solo Mach Shorty balanced or just the standard solo Mach Shorty

[@TylerCassenaVlogs]

The G8 GXP is also offered in a Manual. Amazing cars :)

[@WHITESTRIPEDLIE]

0:46 did anyone else think of Mr. Regular when he did that voice?

[@JTube571]

I agree with Matt. The +/- on auto's are more often than not backwards and super annoying. Every race car on earth that uses a lever for shifting is pull back to shift up. Street cars should be the same way. Though I drove an SXT V6 Charger a couple weeks ago that I believe was correct with pull back to shift up.

[@EdMiF]

Well if you've been driving for more than 30 years, forward for up and back for down is perfectly normal. Most cars were like that back in the day.

[@JTube571]

EdMiF As a motorsport fan where up is down and down is up, street cars are wrong.

[@EdMiF]

+Jason Miller P R N D 3 2 1

[@JTube571]

EdMiF You're comment here proves you have no idea what we are talking about.

[@EdMiF]

+Jason Miller You're wrong, I know exactly what you mean. This "Up is down, down is up" stuff is for race cars. Normal street cars operate under different conditions than race cars, and my post shows what has been the design for street driven cars for many years, therefore perfectly normal.

[@vXTotalChaosXv]

I considered getting a G8 GT in 2008 before the GXP came out and completely wrote it off because it was only available with a slushbox. Bought my WRX in 2009 and have been VERY happy with it but am considering moving on to a V8 RWD car. Being a family man and the fact this thing has four doors and big trunk (my Subaru may as well have a second glove box for a trunk, yes its that bad) I may need to put these back on my radar. Would still prefer a manual but I don't think the prices on the GXPs are coming down anytime soon.

[@madkhan3401]

+Jake White I went the other way - from a wrx to a manual ute version of this. both modded, very similar speed but totally different feel, both great sound from 3" pipes. would recommend.

[@peterlee6745]

Good Car and Vid .Sounds Good on Auto. Like mine in UK. 6.2 VXR8 HSV

[@DrStrange1000]

Beautiful soundtrack. That V8 sounds glorious. I'm no speed hunter less than 400hp for a 6.0cc..that's pretty low.

[@phillipberk]

My hummer h2 with pretty much the same engine, 6.0 as well has 325hp

[@breebw]

2:10 "This is like a BMW E39 M5" . Reportedly the design team bought a BMW 5 series, and had it physically located in the design studios. Later the VE( 97/98 Commodore) SS's suspension was final tuned at the Nurburgring. BMW test their cars there. These are pretty much facts. My supposition is that this car was lent design inspiration from BMW under a royalty agreement. So many have said it rides like a BMW M5. My belief is it *is* an M5 essentially.

[@Hunter4042012]

+Breen Whitman Yep.

[@itssambro1]

hey man, are you still in texas? I have a 1977 Morris mini clubman with a jdm b16a that would probably get quite a few views..
