Pontiac G8 GXP Supercharged Firehawk 1 of 9 In 2009 SLP build 29 supercharged G8 Firehawks, nine of which were GXP’s. Each had a Supercharged Firehawk build number while the GXP’s had an additional Special Edition GXP build number referred to as SE. Of the nine GXP’s in the edition (numbers 21-29), only one was red and it was a six speed manual, #23 GXP SE#3. That is the car represented here. This car is equipped with every single option available to the G8 Firehawk series. Two tone interior, sunroof, six speed manual, upgraded six piston competition brake package, supercharger, SLP Sport Suspension Package, Firehawk 19” five-spoke wheels in gunmetal gray, SLP rear spoiler painted flat-black, a flat-black hood, flat-black grille-surrounds, a body-color painted lower fascia grille and Firehawk badges and floor mats. The car also comes with loads of paperwork and a special car cover. This particular car has a few additional upgrades. American Racing stainless steel headers were added to allow for maximum breathing, the Magnuson supercharger was sent to Magnuson headquarters where it was tuned and a cog-drive rear pulley added to go with a 3.0 front pulley. 65lb FIC fuel injectors and a Kenny Bell boost-a-pump were also additional. The car was then retuned on a Mustang Dyno delivering 576hp at the rear wheel with over 550’ lb of torque on 11lb of boost. (sales information refers to flywheel hp.) Words cannot begin to describe the deep throat tune and menacing idle this car has. The torque and constant pull through the rpm range puts this car in the top 1% of muscle street cars. Before the performance mods it ran low 12’s. With a 90hp gain after the mods, it’s estimated to run mid 11’s. This car is 1 of only 9 G8 GXP Firehawks ever made. It is a true collectors prize in every way and possesses all the muscle you would want on the streets with the class and manners to be civil if need be.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
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.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
