If you want a great deal on a powerful sedan, take a test drive in a pontiac G8. They are nice cars at a very low price compared to other similar vehicles. You lose some features and need to make darn sure you don't get one of the few that are plagued by a "wobbly" steering wheel at highway speeds, but you simply can't beat the price. For $30k (or a lot less if you find a low mileage used one) you get a great handling 4-door sedan with a 361hp or 400+hp LS series V8 engine. You can't get a V6 accord for that price, all the dodge performance sedans cost a lot more if you get the packages with the hemi, and the ford taurus SHO will run you well over $47,000.
In exchange for the low price, you get a car that saw only 2.5 years of production and sometimes it takes a long time for parts to get shipped from Australia, especially if your dealer's parts department is staffed by idiots who don't know how to get parts for these cars. If you can live with that, it's a great deal on a neat car.
isn't the g8 an Australian holden?
now, in case you mis understood some of my posts......i never meant to put down the gm;s. in fact, i have a customer what wants me to work on his 85. he wants to "warm" it up a little. it's only got a 305 in it....and i'm tryin to convince him to drop in a 350 crate motor.
that, a little tranny work, and some gearing, and i think this'll be a kickass car.
mustangs still rule though!!
