I am proud to say that I was part of the R&D Technology team in 2005/2006 at GM which started with Holden Auto in AU to work on the design of this car. I had 4 of the Holden version at the time in our design center about the time that Pontiac went green light on the build of this car. Such a beautiful car, powerplant and all. Sad that Pontiac fell away. It's a beauty of a machine to drive, quality of build just as GM was starting to refine their materials. Here is a link to the example of the 4 we had in shop which GM Teams designed this car about :

Holden Commodore HSV

Holden Commodore HSV GTS - Pontiac Design Ques

Vauxhall - GM's European solution to the Holden and Pontiac's G8 - Power Sedans on the rise

wow, great to know! i will definitely hit you up with questions when they arise if that's ok

Most definitely. Our team was responsible for the design and creation of the Camaro - GM CODE 97XZL and more along with Dave Wallace whom was at the time Senior Chief Engineer for the ZR1 which was also one of our products, so to say that I know and have a good knowledge of the build, design and layout of the car overall. At that time most of the codes were hush hush, like the new silverado, new saturns, new cadillacs, GMC, etc. I have all the list outs' and SPO part diagrams, part numbers. I met Dave Wallace about 4 times before the ZR1 was greenlight for production too. But for sure, feel free to email me or what if you have any questions. It was a fun time working there for the time i was there, enjoying the new designs, but not being able to tell people about it, really really cool stuff.
