Sounds like GM is up to its old tricks

Quick enough that there's a chance the G8's engine is underrated at 361 hp. Until we get a G8 GT on a chassis dyno, we'll just have to credit its transmission for getting the absolute most from its companion engine.

wonder if the guys at the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) who rate all of GM's engines are former (or current) employees. Either way, you cannot argue with results. Better perfromance. Less price. And to hear things like "the Charger R/T's Mercedes-made five-speed automatic feels prehistoric compared to the G8's six-speed" or "The G8 whipped around the skid pad with 0.85g of grip and then screamed through the slalom at nearly 66 mph. That's not only clearly better than the Charger, but comparable to the BMW 535i Inside Line tested back in June, which whirled to 0.89g on the skid pad and galloped through the slalom at 65 mph." just makes me feel all warm inside.

What we just read was a preview of the Camaro vs Challenger. And the results will be similar but Dodge is getting a new 5.7 hemi to even the score a bit. Braking, handling, interior, and styling will all meet with the same results.
