Hurst Performance Vehicles, the legendary shifter company that most recently has made waves with its Hemi Challenger, announced its new H.O. program for the Pontiac G6 and G8. Few details have been released regarding the performance upgrades of the cars, but each will feature Hurst's signature black/gold or white/gold paint scheme, forged alloy Hurst wheels, an exclusive Hurst shifter, supercharged engine, suspension upgrades, and a newly trimmed interior.


To help with the development of the car, Hurst also brought on performance icon "Doc" Watson, who developed such vehicles as the Hurst Hemi-Under-Glass and the 1972 Pontiac SSJ. Only 52 Hurst H.O. Pontiacs will be built along with ten G6 convertibles used as parade and special event vehicles.


Looks like this car is going to be more worth the money than the SLP Firehawk is currently (which isn't worth the money at all).


Wonder what this "new interior" is going to look like??

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

Well, now we know the secret to making a car terribly popular. Simply announce that it's dead. MAN! Hurst must have gotten a whale of a deal on a tanker car or 2 of gold paint! :p

Love the idea and the theme, not liking the BIG H on the side. Maybe a smaller H on the front lower ground effect would be better. Like the colors/stripes combo, wheels, and brakes though.

Will Linda be there as Miss Hurst??

Linda has seen better days.

Linda has seen better days.

Yeah, like a decade ago.

[caretaker]

Actually about 3-4 decades ago.
A couple from about 1972.

Very nice, except the location and size of the Hurst symbol on the side. It's a bit overpowering. Move that and it rocks. I''l take one in black please.

[01350ta]

Very cool looking cars.

[AusTXGT]

So they aren't doing anything to the tranny but adding a special shifter? I was hoping they would doing something to mechanically beef it up.

Two threads combined?

and she still looks fugly even in Black and white:puke:

Only makes sense..


And I agree on that last one. The more recent photos of her she looks like she's beat.

She has already expressed her desire to sit on your face!


OMGOD! Did I say that out loud???? My apologies George.

32K and they will upgrade your GT or GXP. Claimed 0-60 on a GT is 3.8 sec.

[mjf232]

Any current updates on this car? I googled hurst g8 and only came up with the original article. Nothing new.

[kevinm0131]

They are not going to build any for sale, just modify customer provided cars.

$32k buys a lightly used GXP down the line or a NEW GT now [for less]
