Went to a 1/8 mile track tonight (no 1/4 mile tracks in my area) and I guess I'm pretty pleased with how the GXP ran! I beat a Lt1 ram air trans am twice and it bet me once when I slept at the light, beat a 02 or so Mustang GT and a couple fox body gt's. I also beat an older model nova and monte carlo and got beat by a couple modded camaros. There was a white G8 Gt there with some type of exhaust on it, I begged the guy to race me but he wouldn't, it made 5 or 6 passes with 2 different drivers and the quickest time being a 9.40 et and it only got that once the rest of the time it was running 9.60's. Even though I didn't get to make a pass beside it I think my 5.3 made that 6.0 G8 Gt look bad.

Best Run of the night!

1/8th mile with a G8 GT should be a pretty close race. I am fairly close to stock and had a WOT run with one from about 10 to 60 MPH. Obviously I was traction limited at that speed, but I think he was too. Our first gear (in my admittedly limited sample of one race) will pull on them pretty well. I would say I gained 1/4 car length during that time, once I hit second, well.....we all own one and know they fall flat on their face. I left off at 60 and he did shortly after that. In the 1/8th, I believe it would be a driver's race with us having a slight advantage, but by the end of the quarter, they would have reeled us in and left us behind.

Get that second gear tuned so it doesnt go all the way down to the basement where there is no power.

Nice runs


A properly driven G8 will beat our LS4 cars from any speed. We don't have any advantages against them really, my brother has a G8GT and he gives me a half car and lets me punch it first and still passes me relatively easily. We're planning on running at Ennis tonight if weather permits. Hopefully I can git a 14.0 or so.
