Default Raced a G8 GXP last night

and WOOOOWWWWWWWW those things are FAST!!! I was just driving minding my own buisness when a silver GXP comes flying past me (sounded so sexy) I tried catching up to him which made him slow down a lil, and right when i got next to him we both punched it (going around 45-50). I might as well been in reverse with how fast that thing took off. I gave up once i hit 70 and he was gone.

Haha lesson learned! We don't stand a chance against the G8 GXP unless you have some serious mods. Tis' an honorable death

Try it again from what isn't the worst possible roll for an LS4...oh and they're way faster than a stock ls4 too...

13 second flat, typically around 108. Not completely out of reach.

A car length on the street equals roughly one mph in the 1/4. That's 10 car lengths which roughly translates to a single raping.

Really? EDIT: Because I hung very well with my buddy's 135i and I was 200lbs over race weight.

were you in tapshift and drop it down to second while going 45-50mph? or did you just floor it and what gear were you in? just looking a little more into your honorable death...

Not a bad death. A few mods and those cars will scream....even more than they already do!!



I've got a buddy with a stock GT and I'll hang with him, but I know a guy that had a GT with headers, exhaust and a tune and that thing ******* rolled out hard!
