Does it stall while driving?
Im not sure what V8's have.. but V6's have the crank angle sensors that fail when hot/warm..

Loose battery cable to the starter motor or at the battery terminal? Ignition module shot?
We had the same symptoms with our VS V8 and it turned out to be a loose connection after putting in a brand new battery thinking that the alternator or battery was stuffed. It was just a loose nut on the terminal between the battery positive and the starter motor. Shortly afterwards the ignition module cacked itself followed by the distributor.
Hope that this helps. If not then perhaps its best to take your car to a decent auto electrician or mechanic to sort it out.
