This car was, at least in a way, a leftover Series 1 Cadillac CTS-V. Both shared the same Vortec 6000 engine block, although the G8 GT's variant was not the Corvette-derived LS2, but rather the truck-oriented L76. With that being said, the "GMC Sierra 1500 sedan with a Pontiac badge" crosses the finish line around the 12.8-mile German north loop circuit 13 seconds earlier than the "Chevy Corvette sedan with a Cadillac badge" does.

I saw a platinum one on the road today. It rivals the GS430, the M45, and the SRT8 Charger, however, it is smaller than Saturn Aura and Chevy Malibu.

You got the numbers wrong on the gxp I seen them do 423 and 3-4 hp does not make a difference when you car is about 400lb more heavy For the gt and the gxp I’ve raced R/T and scat pack because they are so much More heavy I can beat them with only having straight pipes on my gt
