You may remember the video of the 2008 Panther Black Metallic 2008 Pontiac G8 GT running the ¼ mile at Atco in the mid 12s, while it still had temp tags in the back window.

G8Nation has learned that GM is still discussing color availability for the Pontiac G8 GXP; however, we know three things are certain…

Shortly after breaking the story that revealed the 2008 Pontiac G8 production numbers, many readers started asking further questions about production. How many G8s we’re shipped to the mid west? How many were V6 vs V8? How many of each color were produced?
