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.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
