The G8 reflects the billion dollar investment GM made in the development of the ZETA platform every time you turn the key. This is a serious automobile for passionate drivers. A Pedderised G8 operates in rare air with performance numbers comparable to legendary automobiles. Chevrolet Corvette ZO6, Porsche 911 GTS and even the Ferrari Enzo. How do we know? We tested four G8s at the New Jersey Motorsports Park. Click on the video and see for yourself.
Just as the GTO was a significant step up in the GM performance coupe tradition from the F-Body the G8 is a huge advance from the GTO. There are differences of substance. The G8 should be a smooth ride luxury performance sedan. If you are expecting ZO6 Corvette flat corning, you bought the wrong car. If you were expecting a BMW, the G8 is close and Pedderised may be better. Judging the G8 by the spring
rate, damping rate or body lean in relationship to older less advanced vehicles would be a mistake. The bone stock G8 is a more advanced design that performs better than the previous generation GM / Holden / Pontiac VZ chassis.
The VE is one of the best-balanced products on the road today. Suspension is always subjective. What is too hard for some will be too soft for others. The G8 in all trim levels, even with a Sport Package, feels too light and floats by Pedders standards. The car leans an enormous amount, but does hold the line through tight turns on OE trim. High speed cruising feels light. It is not in any way unstable, but it is too light by Pedders standards. An AMG is rock solid. The G8 in OE trim isn’t a Mercedes or BMW – until you Pedderise.
