- Pontiac Test Drive
Some cars are made to haul groceries – the Pontiac G8 GT is made to haul asphalt! Tune in, as our host, and 4 time Trans Am champion, Tommy Kendall dials up the horsepower in this smokin’ hot Test Drive of the 2008 Pontiac G8!
We’ll be joined by an incredible lineup of special guests – including famous rap star 50 Cent, Road & Track editor Andy Bornhop and epic funnyman Adam Carolla! And we’ll take the G8 to the limit, from Phoenix Arizona, to Daytona International Speedway, to Willow Springs Raceway, for an incredibly potent test drive of the most powerful car you can buy for under $30,000 dollars!
