G8 moves out hard. So the ZL1 didn't even have a smaller pulley?

Yea i runs pretty good for what it is. It's been 11.0 @122 with a 1.54 60' in +1600 DA at ls fest last year it's a little lighter now an went 7.0 @ 101 last week in the 1/8 in +2000 DA so it has easy 10s in good air.

It should weigh 38xx without me in it but I haven't put it on the scales yet. I put a lithium battery that is 4 pounds and some seats in it so roughly 200 lbs lighter then the stock 3980

I was thinking it was lighter to be running that mph. Apparently the build just works really well together

They can think whatever they want but as far as 5th gen camaro and g8s go it's pretty quick.

I run a basic HCI 6.0 with a 150 shot, so it's not all that different than your G8. I don't care who says what....that car flat out moves for what it is PLUS being as heavy as it is

Nice running car. My next car will probably be a G8
IIRC I had seen a vid of your car at the track, and I believe someone mentioned you had a shifting problem at that time. If that was your car, did you get it strightend out?

Sorry man, that's improper. Remember?
