comes this week's contestants,
this is my 2009 Pontiac g8, a little history, the Pontiac g8 came from
Australia, it was branded the Holden Commodore, it's an Australian muscle car
yeah that's right, it's a muscle car from Australia, how cool is that, the Holden
symbol is actually pretty cool, so take a look at it, the Pontiac g8 was built from
2008 to 2009, Pontiac stopped production of all their vehicles in 2010 due to
bankruptcy, the Pontiac g8 was built to compete with
the Dodge Charger, another four-door sports sedan, this g8 and like all of
them have the same body design, besides the GXP it has a different front bumper
it's pretty much about it, the g8 came with rear-wheel drive platforms in two
different transmissions and engines this one consists on the v6 model, the other
ones v8 and a six-speed transmission, this one consists of a 5-speed
transmission, it's pretty awesome and it definitely has a lot of get-up-and-go
the Pontiac g8 is an amazing vehicle and they're pretty rare to find, if you ever
see one you should definitely take a look, the interior I'm about to show you
here in a minute it's pretty nice, all leather and premium packages, onto the
engine, here is a little glimpse of the engine, this engine produces 256
horsepower and 248 pounds of torque, it's pretty good for a v6, here was the
interior of the Pontiac g8, the g8 consists of two bucket seats in the
front which hold you in place and also keep you very comfy for long rides, the
stitching and leather is very nice-looking and looks more sporty than
anything, on the back you have two subwoofers behind the headrest and the
table that folds down in the middle for two guests, it seats up to five people
and it's pretty comfy, not bad family friendly and yet fun to drive, this is
the last of the brand this is the Pontiac g8,
hey what's up guys Kevin McMullan here and behind me is my 1994 Toyota Supra
twin turbo 6-speed, it's been converted to single turbo, I purchased this car
back in January and it was kind of a basket case, there was a lot of issues
with this car, it was originally black but somebody had painted it white, there was
a horrific body kit on it, ugly wheels, the interior was mostly missing, the little
bit of interior that was in there was torn to pieces, it had an old style
Garrett GT 42 turbo, and I went ahead and replaced all of that, I went with the
precision 7675 turbo, I got rid of the wheels and ran the weld racing wheels
on the car, had the car repainted black, redid the interior, now the car is making
573 horsepower at 15 psi as you'll see now,
this car should make around a thousand horsepower when the boost is turned up
which is something I may get into, but honestly in that in that horsepower
range with this weight of a car, it feels great on the street and with these
wheels you have traction the whole time, these cars are really fun, this is my 9th
Supra, I absolutely love these cars and if you guys are at all interested in
these cars, you can check out my youtube channel it's just Kevin McMullan, and I
hope you guys have a great day and thank you for checking out my car, this video is
about my 2007 corvette c6, with the c-51 package, which gets you the upgraded
suspension and upgraded brakes as we can see, it's hitting right around 39,000 miles
in these six liter LS2 stock, as we can see the car is in great shape, we come
out to the back, you will see that we have the smoked headlights the Borla
exhaust system, which makes it sound pretty good, now let's move into the
interior, as we can see we got the red interior, which looks pretty nice, we got
the glass roof, now let's jump in real quick, you got your push to start button
starts right up, since this is a 3 LT package you get your heated seats, you
get your memory seats and your heads up display over there, which you can change
the modes, street mode, track 1, and my favorite track 2, these are six speed
transmission, really good, like I said it's sitting right around 40,000 miles
I've never had any kind of issues with this car, it has pretty good space in
the trunk, some people are actually pretty surprised, the story behind this
car is that on the year that I was born in 1994, my parents bought a
brand-new Corvette zr1 white with red interior, so when I got the chance of
looking at this car, I couldn't resist, let me show you an exhaust clip
