Yes the GT has the 361HP 6.0l L76 (very similar to the LS2) and the GXP has the 415HP 6.2l LS3.

On stock gt's I've seen anywhere from mid to high 13's, and some low 14's.
With just a tune and intake I've seen mid to low 13's and even a 12.934.
Not to shabby for a 4000lb car.
car wasn't made for the dragstrip. There is a reason why the gave the car a IRS. So it would know what to do with a turn or two. Like it has been said in other posts, I really love the car but I would love it more if it was 6spd manual gear box. Kudos either way on very nice car!

Is that transmission a double clutch semi-manual or does it still have a torque converter?

It has a torque converter. It's the 6L80.

Awww, you took my next car. Like exactly my next affordable dream car. Damn it's hott though. I'd sell some of my soul (and the Mazda in a heartbeat) to have one of those and a TRD Sport Tacoma. I just don't like the interior build quality too much.

Wow! These have to be my one and only favorite car of Pontiac's. Good choice! Powdercoat those wheels a gloss black, and debadge the trunk and that car will be epic!

This and the gas mileage kept me from getting this car. The exterior look is pure sex and the engine pickup is great, but the interior quality and gas mileage were the two biggest reasons why I didn't pull the trigger. When I see them on the road I want to look past it's flaws and get me one.

I really don't understand what you're talking about with interior quality, unless you think mazdas interiors are sub par as well. My interior is as nice if not better than my wife's mazda 3 and its fully loaded with leather seats.
15mpg city / 24 mpg hwy, Although I've been able to get 26-27 mpg babying it on the way to work. DoD ftw!

A HSV ClubSport R8 body kit is a most, completed with the CTS-V rims that are originally of the CS R8

Yea it's not really bad for a 6.1L V8 Bimmer beater though...I think great pickup is an understatement. There's only one spot, well two, that really annoy me on any car. One on the G8 is the opposite side from the emergency brake there's just a plastic "oh s***!" handle and if you push/pull on it even gently then it moves a lot. Then when you close the doors the panels pull away from the metal of the door. Other than that, build quality is grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! New GM...straight from Australia.
