I do own a V6 version G8 and it's been a great car so far. Came with every option available except the V8 of course. I've also owned a Grand Prix GTP and I must say I would rate the G8 as fast in the mid to high end and it's no slouch in the low end either. Also, it runs on regular gas - not premium like the GTP. It does also corner like you wouldn't believe. I purchased a V6 mostly for the gas mileage and mostly city driving. If you can get a good deal on one you won't be disappointed. Sure, a V8 would be nice but then it all depends on what your application is. The V8's come in 6 & 6.2 (GXP) litre engines and have of course all kinds of power enhancements available - they are basically a 4 door 'Vette. I have my '69 GTO and my Hemi Dodge RAM if I really need a power fix. Good Luck!
