For today's video we hop in my good friend Christopher Durr's fully built and turbocharged Pontiac G8. Chris has had everything from an 1000HP Mitsubishi Evo to a 440HP Taurus SHO. Needless to say he has been open minded with his car builds and always tries new things. This time around he picked up this naturally aspirated Pontiac G8 with nitrous which already ran a ten second quarter mile and then turned it up to ELEVEN. With a fully built LS motor, built transmission, custom fabricated turbo kit, tons of boost, and so much more Chris didn't cut a single corner on this build. So what is it like driving a nearly 900HP four door? grocery getter? Let's go for a drive and find out!

What do you think of the Pontiac G8? And what do you think is the best sounding V8 ever?
-
I've got a weakness for performance sedans
-
Its definitely a love hate relationship owning one. Once all the small issues are sorted it's a solid car.
-
This guy that worked down the road from me when I was younger had one of these and he’d always get on it when he left work so I’d sit at the window and wait for him to get off work
-
“Got a 300k mile bmw?” Me: “is it possible to learn this power?”
-
I remember seeing this car as a kid and man it’s still so cool to this day I miss Pontiac
-
That’s a fine Commodore 👌❤️
-
At 2:54 you hear the turbo and David say “ Oh my god” like a happy little kid 😃 I knew he was going to have fun
-
I need to be Holden that turbo on my G8.
-
The G8 GT is my first car, not to responsible on my parents part.
-
Honestly i’d rather have a boosted g8 over a CTS-V
-
I love my G8 GT, it’s a beautiful car, the fun part of owning one is that not many people know them, I went to a car show recently, I was the only G8 there.
-
Beautiful build there! I LOVE my G8. Pontiac was GM's Dodge, and went away too soon. Fun fact: The window switches (and things like the radio/AC switches being on the wrong side) are fun reminders of the RHD version. Bonus Fun Fact: Because the Holden Commodore was used as a police vehicle in AUS, there's a blackout mode where you can kill every light on the dash and radio except for the speedometer for nighttime patrolling
-
Heck yes! I love mine as well and comments on the daily “What is that?” Just a grocery getter, thanks for revisiting this car loved the first video as well. This gives me ambition to keep modifying mine as well. Thank you!
-
Nice to see people still doing good stuff with the VE. Really wanna get a VF at some point.
-
I see a G8 video, I instantly hit like.
-
Got mine brand new and still haven’t hit 50k, love the car!
-
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT CAR ! My best friend had the GXP and a few GTP Comp Gs too.....I MISS PONTIAC TOO
-

-
