Post Charger SRT vs. Pontiac G8 GXP

Road & Track had a good comparison test of the 2009 Charger SRT vs. the Pontiac G8 GXP.

The test results showed almost identical results. see:

Ditto. It was over before it started.

Re: Charger SRT vs. Pontiac G8 GXP

I'm sorry, but the Pontiac is still boring. The only thing I like from Pontiac is the Solstice. That's the only thing I've liked in years.

Re: Charger SRT vs. Pontiac G8 GXP

I'd take the charger any day of the week over a G8

Re: Charger SRT vs. Pontiac G8 GXP

We all know the G8 is a much better car!
Hard to admit but true.

I hope you are being sarcastic.......

Anywho, good article and that is about as even s 2 cars get. Glad to see someone finally admit the G8 interior is the worse of the 2. Amazing how close they are! I guess that extra gear and lighter weight doesn't make that much of a difference. Amazing to se the 3 year older platform can still more than hold it's own!
