New Engine for the Pontiac GXP GT
January 3rd, 2009 — 03:43 amThe 2009 Pontiac GXP GT is now the most powerful Pontiac ever. It gets an engine upgrade from the powerful 361 horse power V8 6-liter engine to a muscle demon V8 6.2L that roars at 415 horsepower.
The new powerplant under its hood can bring the car blazing from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds. At 108 mph, it can cover the quarter mile mark in 13 seconds flat.
The best Pontiac production car had its suspension tuned at the Nurburgring. The race tuned suspension features front struts and shocks that are firmer, 245/40 summer tires wrapping the 19 inch wheels, and bigger rear sway bar. This new FE3 suspension is an upgrade from the FE2 setup used by GT.
