A collaboration between Pontiac, 50 Cent and Unique Autosports – the New York-based custom shop featured on the show “Unique Whips” – 50 Cent’s red-and-black performance sedan is equipped with a GM Performance Parts LSX 427 engine, custom paint, 22-inch chrome wheels and a custom-tailored interior boasting an 800-watt audio system.

but I'm torn. I am a little disappointed in the power and the motor. Why the hell GM doesn't step up and put the LS Vette motor in there.

 

the other option is to just save some money, go smaller more DD oriented and practical and use the money I have saved for a toy plus a bit more in the future and by a Vette or something 'real' fun in a year or two or three.

 

I'm an emotional buyer so it will likely boil down to the moment I go and look :D

This one here might, but the production one is going to use the 6.0l L76 Truck motor, not the LS2 or LS3. I suppose/hope there will be more aftermarket, but I'm not a tech so I don't know. I do think I read somewhere the L76 uses the L92 Heads which should flow pretty good possibly allowing for a cam swap or aftermarket springs. DOD support on the cam is a question?

 

Similar to my GXP which uses the 5.3l V8. Nice motor, great power, but after market sucks. There's a new Turbo kit from a guy up in Toronto running up to 10psi, and a downpipe from Hogan and of course exhausts, but that's about it.

 

I'm also thinking of passing on years 1 & 2 since they will likely end up offering a GXP version that will be something pretty nice.

 

It does have the LS2. Just tuned down a lil. That red one in the pic has the 427ci 505 Bhp. They also have the 3.9 260 bhp 6 cylinder one also!

I'm pretty sure 50 Cent outsells Kanye West. lol.

 

Nope, Kayne is still on top of the billboard charts, and 50 cent is like 8 or 9. Kanye destroyed him...

 

This would make the perfect grocery getter. I wonder how it handles in bad weather.
