Ran a Pontiac G8 GXP - Vid inside
My cousin brought over his stock GXP...He couldnt wait to run my V. The video is at night so its not the greatest. We ran probably 10 times with the same outcome for each so I only included one.
It was cold that night (35 degrees) so we never ran from a dig...I couldn't hook for sht.

We tried a 1st gear roll at 20mph. He would pull almost a car length on me, the auto was no slouch. I wouldnt catch up till 3rd gear. The Auto hooked real hard where I would slip. It would be one tough race from a dig.
The issue was not the auto...I had to reel him in almost every race. Either way I'm real happy with the outcome and he was pretty pissed. I plan to get more video's now that it's gettting warmer.

IMO the auto is why you pulled no doubt.If he was a M6, it would have been dead even.
The G8 GXP delivers a zero to 60 mph time of about 4.7 seconds, and a quarter-mile time of 13.0 seconds at 108 mph.
Power comes from a 6.2-liter LS3 small-block V8 engine delivering 402 horsepower and 402 pound-feet of torque.
