Pontiac G8 1/4 in 13 sec at 107 mph??!?!??
1/4 mile
For me I do not see anything real in this video it seems fake. But if it is then WOW. 4 door saloon with big V-8 getting that time and speed?

"The first G8 we drove that day had a big 6.0-liter, 362-hp, 391-lb-ft, L76 V8 underhood. It has to haul around only 3995 pounds of Pontiac, by the way, giving it a power-to-weight ratio comparable to the best V8-powered four-doors in the class. It's better in power-to-weight than the Audi A6 4.2 and within a hiccup of the BMW 550i. The Mercedes E550 is a little better, and the '07 Cadillac CTS-V is a little bit better than that. Still, it's nice company."

Yep. But Holden has had awesome cars for decades.
Pontiac may be getting the Holden Ute, too. Think modern El Camino with lots of power.

Depending on the gearing, decent tires, elevation, temperature, etc, I think that time is possible.

Well that makes me wonder on what the GXP could do.
