In April of 2008 Scott Cook, original owner of INTENSE-Racing.com, sold his 2004 Pontiac Bonneville GXP and purchased a brand new 2008 Pontiac G8 GT. A lot of hype had been leading up to the release of Pontiac’s latest RWD powerhouse vehicle and that alone was enough for Scott to purchase the vehicle without ever having seen one in person. The decision was made, the vehicle purchased, and the first modifications began development in the span of about three days.
Even though Scott’s goal with his G8 GT was not to make it a 1/4 mile drag car but rather a pure street speed machine it did hold the records for quickest and fastest turbo'd Pontiac G8 GT on the planet for more than two years. Intercooled twin turbos along with a host of other modifications help the 6.0L V8 produce nearly 900 horsepower and a ten second mile time. Pedder’s suspension upgrades and custom CCW rims sporting 305 tires on the rear help keep this insanely fast supercar under control even under spirited driving. With 0-60mph times in three seconds, a top speed over 200mph and handling to match this awesome street car is to be respected and feared.
This G8 GT looks just as good as it runs. Scott’s OCD nature makes sure that this G8 is kept in mint and immaculate condition inside and out. All of the custom gauge work was designed to blend seamlessly with the interior and even the included Valentine One and GPS system have been hardwired in to keep a clean appearance. The custom fuel system needed to keep up with power demand has been artfully and thoughtfully installed in the trunk, out of sight.
This unique Pontiac G8 was featured in the August 2012 issue of GM High-Tech Performance magazine. The article can be read here: http://www.gmhightechperformance.com/features/ghtp_1208_2008_pontiac_g8_gt_letting_go/viewall.html
All of the stock equipment for the car is included except for the original wheels tires and exhaust system. The original window sticker and all maintenance records are available as well.

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
