The G* GT has an L76 NOT and LS2 but they are both 6.0L there are differences in the engine thats why the 05-06 gto has 400hp and the g8 has like 364 hp so its an L76 Not an LS2
the g8 has a 3.99-inch-bore x 3.62-inch-stroke 200/208-degree 0.472-/0.480-inch
and the ls2 has 4.00 inch bore x 3.62" stroke 204/211 at 0.50 and 0.520/0.520 lift
The G8 GT uses the L76 and the GTO uses the LS2 both are 6.0 except the G8 GXP uses the LS3 6.2 motor. LS2 and L76 use the same block.
The G8 GT L76 uses a different cam that is AFM/DOD whatever so lift is limited because of the special lifters. One of the reasons why the HP is lower than the LS2's. The L92 heads are better than the old cathedral port heads they flow alot better
In a nutshell L76 = LS2 Block, L92 Heads, AFM/DOD Cam, LS3 Intake

I guess it is kinda like the difference between a 2v and 4v. I always like g8s. Only ever ridden in one and it was nice. It was a sixxer though.

If you even remotley are considering this, stay away from the LS4 front drive cars...
4t65hd transmissions are junk, you cannot find the 1" chains for them anymore, and some of the top builders in the country wont rate them past 500-550whp. Which in an LS platform is stupid easy to obtain...
Your looking at the G8 and CTS-V only... Have fun
And yes, mileage will very, but ive seen that much out of a turbo ls1 in a six speed car..

Sorry to ask this in the Mustang forum but I was curious if Pontiac or Chevy make any sedans or 5 passenger vehicles that use the LS2 6.0 engine. From what Ive read they are powerful reliable engines. Im going to sell my 03GT and I was looking for something with more room but i also wanted power.
I dont want a Charger because my nephew has one and its a gas guzzler (15mpg highway)
Ive read people whom had the GTO with the LS2 were getting 25mpg highway. And please dont say buy a Honda, becus It it possible to have decently fast car without having a severly gas guzzling car.
Anyways, any ideas are helpful. Thanks guys!

Yes I probably was going to get rid of the mustang but not only because of the lack of hp. I wanted something that was a lil more roomier. Im actually a small guy 5'6, 160lbs, but for some reason I just cant get comfortable in my mustang unfortunately. Its hard to explain but the seats are just uncomfortable?? Also I wanted something that was a lil more rare and would hold value longer. I figured I could sell my Mustang and Altima and buy a GTO or something fast and roomy. I really like the Pontiacs because they have that "everyday look". But I really love the look and interior of the 05-09 GT's. I know they are not much roomier but I just think they are the best looking mustangs other than the 60s stangs. Ive been seeing 05-06 Gt around $10-$13k wiht around 100k miles. So I may go that route just because i love mustangs. It just seems with the GTO's, you have instant power and no need to save up $$. Just buy and go!!
Also my friend is a a service manager at the Ford Dealer, so i get great discounts on parts and service.
