apparently...not sure about the quarter times but yes on the 500hp...but for 50k I would much rather put that towards a vette or buy a used vette. Too bad G8's are four doors and kinda ugly IMO.

according to this the quarter is 12.6 and the 0-60 in the low fours:

Its some video on youtube of them runnin down the track an puts down pretty good numbers. I think they have a clean look but when i seen this one gt near me lowered with some black 18's or 19's i could easily notice the sports car/ muscle look to it.

Alot of cars put black wheels on them espcially light colored ones. And once u lower them with a different size a wheel or deeper lip it gives off a sportier look. for ex. 18's in front an 19's in back with a deeper lip an lowered an such makes the cars stance more aggressive like.

Putting the wheels that far out helps with weight distribution and handling.
