This brought me a new appreciation for the LS motor! Anybody else ever ventured into some unknown territory and been pleasantly surprised??

[@peterrichards1058]

The LS is the best of Chevy evolution in small block tech done the right way. I will be exchanging my 6.0 in my Holden SSV Wagon for and LSA 6.2 topped with a Harrop 2650 SC with Hurricane headers and 3 inch dual system. Really looking forward to my first drive in a month or so. Keep the the Pontiac ,Chevy SS and GTO alive because Holden is no longer in Australia like Pontiac it's gone. Great video and nice sounding G8.

[@brezeloevevo1932]

I love the sound his G8. Awesome sounding car. I'll have mine going soon. X_X

I'm into German cars but you can't argue with the results here. A big stonking pushrod motor in a decent chassis makes for a lot of fun.

Nice car...LS motors are no joke.

Hi Pete From UK .ive got myself a VXR8 /Holden .but its a vauxhall re badge 2 holden . 6.2 with Air intake . makes about 430 Bhp. Love your G8 bonnet ..must order one . Great Vid

[@adamjrsingleton4109]

I have the G8 GXP 6.2Ls3 6speed #1202, she's a Badd Gal.. I love the Vauxhall and Vxr8 front bumper, if I could I would trade you mines 👀😳😬☝🏿

[@alis8964]

Thanks Mate that was good. I'm in Sydney Australia I have a 2010 Holden Commodore SS-V. Similar to the G8. They have been selling the Mustang GT since 2015 and now the Chevy Camaro SS 2 for one year it looks like a Camaro for me as I like that low down grunt off the lights. Noelzi 🇦🇺

[@iamasmurf1122]

Are you stupid ? You realise these are VE SSV commodores assembled in Australia and sent to America with a new front and a slightly bored out to 6.2 litre engine, it’s a commodore , similar duhhh you moron

[@ExcelsiorDDZ]

[@howardlazoff1274]

I have heard," the Mexicans love America sooo much that they have built replicas of some of our roads."

[@ls4.8frank]

Unless his car was an original G8 GXP then it did not come stock with a 6.2L engine. If it wasn't a GXP then it originally came with a 6.0L L76.

[@jasonreyna7615]

Chop aspect is not mostly in the tune. The grind of the cam is what makes the “chop”. Ex: a 112 LSA will chop more than a 114 LSA, and a 110/111 LSA will chop more than both. You can tune for a “ghost cam” but it will not sound the same

[@JustKona]

push rod motor sounds great.

I still haven't considered this fully tuned yet. Garrett and I have been working on it intermittently. You might need a Part 2.

[@DownSouthRacing]

Alex Day yes he and I are good buddies and talk about it often. I know some things are firsts for you such as the converter so it’s cool to see you make adjustments! I’m impressed with the drivability more than anything. But we wanna get a good track video of it this year!

[@verocityz]

@@DownSouthRacing very nice Its getting closer to 11s! I think a fully ported manifold from my buddy at BLP is what she needs to get there. Awesome channel btw appreciate the review. I'll also be down for LSFest again this year, love to meet up

[@AnnatarTheMaia]

I was with yinz until I realized that it's an automatic transmission car, and now I feel completely mislead. This was a waste of my time, thanks to the video title. Who the hell gives money for an automatic transmission G8?

[@tylerharrell3237]

Anyone who wants a G8? The only ones that weren't auto was the GXP lol they are good cars, the 6L80 in the GT is actually one of the better modern GM transmissions. And not sure how you were mislead, nothing in the title says it was a manual or anything even remotely close

[@AnnatarTheMaia]

@@tylerharrell3237 if it is not a manual transmission and the vehicle does not have a clutch pedal it is not worth driving, no matter how fast it is or how much horsepower or torque it has. I feel mislead because who the hell searches for a Holden with an automatic transmission? There is no point in that, as there is no point in doing a video with an automatic transmission.

[@tylerharrell3237]

@@AnnatarTheMaia I completely get it lol the only manual g8 in the u.s is the GXP, I wish they had made the G8 GT available in manual. I agree with you completely, but it is one of the few automatic sports/muscle cars i would buy.

[@chevy16001]

Yea why would you want a car to be faster lol...

[@AnnatarTheMaia]

@@chevy16001 that's bullshit, the automatic shifts faster but people don't understand what latency is, and total system latency in an automatic transmission is almost double than an experienced race driver shifting a manual. Randy Pobst proved it on the Willow race track with the Camaro ZL1 manual versus the 10-speed automatic ZL1. Automatics are still garbage even with 0.1 ms shifts. Utter garbage...
