Grand Prix GXP Vs G8 GT Got a little clip of death by G8...about 1.5 cars at the jump (20-roll) and then pretty much keeps that all the way through. Did a 50-roll later with similar results but slightly better. Had lots of fun.

Thanks. The G8 owner said it had heads+cam and hinted at bottle when I said I would run him in the boosted Grand Prix. His words, "Guess I'll have to spray people." However I *think* he was just joking because he said that in response to me saying, "Well my friends tell me it's a G8 killa" when they asked what I have lol. One almost sure way to get a race haha.
After the runs, I asked him what cam and he couldn't say...just that he bought it like that. Then later I saw my friend post on FB that he was claiming 470. I said, "470 at the wheels or crank? Because he didn't pull me like a car with 470rwhp. Then I saw in Zyborg's video that he put 470rwhp with stall and full bolt-ons too so oh well.
My Grand Prix is a stock LS4 with turbo kit (Turbonetics T-66 on 8psi + fmic + meth), built trans + 3000 stall, dyno-tuned for safety in case the meth ever fails. 10:1 A/F with turbo fully spooled and meth on in hot weather. I've been seeing that approach 11:1 in this cooler weather. When I'm out of meth I've seen it go to 13.8-14.0 range.
That G8 sounds rowdy and gets up and goes right away. It has a strong punch and enough up top to keep me at bay to at least 120 where he let off on both runs. I don't know if he did that because he considered the point made at ~1.5 cars ahead or if that's where his trans goes into overdrive or what. Mine will keep on pulling to 140+ as a certain GT500 discovered recently much to his dismay lol

I have both on a GoPro. Only problem is, he kept insisting on the left lane while I had the camera mounted facing towards the front right. I'll see if they are worth hearing before I post links.
Edit: Oh, did I mention we had a little trouble lining up too? lol
