I love the sound of that turbo spool. I watch that video of our races just to hear it sometimes.

Nice!
I wanted a 09 GXP G8 several years ago but it seems like they don't depreciate much since they're so rare. Having a blown one is just icing on the cake!

I ran Fontana awhile ago. 12.4 @ 124 on low boost.. nothing impressive. I was on some garbage street tires but I have that fixed now but haven't been back. I'll go back after I fix a few small issues and get retuned by CMS. Not happy with current tune..

Round 2 of that ^ video shows cobra holding his own. Camaro still got him but much closer than I expected. Thanks to Christian for being a good sport and making his car reasonable for the race

Ehh. I spun kinda bad on that second run you can hear me get out of it. And that was on 8lbs cutout closed. So about as slow as I can make my car. I'm always Down to run.

Not sure if I'm making it to the September meet but I would love to run that turbo 4th gen from a dig at full boost.

I'm thinking of either going with either a Vengeance ported Fast 102/102TB or selling my exhaust set-up and adding similar turbo

Oh I know your car is a monster man, we appreciated you turning it down to make it worthwhile
