Pay attention when they change wheels and tires!

So much for 22s.

Besides a Vortec or Roots SC on a Marauder will give that performance.


Trilogy yes...


and what about the handling?

I want one of these, but they'd have to make it with the steering wheel on the correct side of the car.

It is on the right side!?! ;)

I like the 3 second difference, by going to 20" wheels over the 22s. My brain always said "there will be a difference in handling!" but I didn't think it would be that drastic.

Well you should check out the Ford Falcon that they have over is Australlia, like a better looking and more powerful mustang.

In black without the ridiculous wheels and stuck on plastic pieces, it would have been a cool Impala SS replacement.

Yes, their version of Top Gear sucks but the worst is the Russian version. But it's better than nothing!

And by the way, the new season of U.K. Top Gear starts in 2 days!! :D

I love the Falcon. That 'Ute version (basically an El Camino) rocks! Why can't we have those too?!?

Ahhhh, the Pontiac G8 GXP is actually built by the same guys - Holden, in Australia, stuffed with a Corvette LS7 and shipped to North America.

The G8 is the American version of this car, not that its going to matter cause Pontiac is gone after this year.
