Been kicking this and more around for many months.

Pontiac G8 GXP - Drivetrain Rear Wheel Drive

Curb Weight (lbs)4023 (manual)Curb Weight (lbs)4050 (auto)

Horsepower402 @ 6000 Torque (lb-ft)402 @ 4400

Wheelbase (in.)114.8

Length (in.)196.1

Width (in.)74.8

Height (in.)57.7

So the G8 GXP manual trans weighs 163lbs more than Camaro SS manual trans(3860lbs)with no sunroof or other heavy options.

GM has been quoted saying the price will be "just under $40,000" for the GXP.

I have not sat in a Camaro yet, but the G8 is super roomy front and back with a huge trunk. Larger windows to see out on the G8.

The Camaro has the cool factor, inside and out, wins hands down.

The GXP has the FE3 suspension, the same suspension level as the Camaro SS. Just add 163 lbs more to the handling in the GXP.

My bottom line is, roomy,fast and fun. (G8) or

Killer styling inside and out, a little quicker than the GXP, but not much. (Camaro SS)
