I'm gonna go with ... weight, gearing, direct injection, aerodynamics, and bad luck (for the G8).

The '10 G8 Sedan with SIDI should have improved fuel economy and performance.

Word. My heart started fluttering when I opened this thread.
I test drove a G8 the other day, and if it's still around in about two years when I'm ready to buy, it's going to be AMAZINGLY hard to pick between it and the Camaro. I fell in love with the GT.

it wont, as the L99 V8 has the 'active fuel management' and cannot work with the manual. that is why you get the L99 with auto only and the LS3 with a manual or an auto.
