White90GT

On my way to work this morning in Baytown, Spur 330 to 146 to 225 and saw a Black G8 scooting down Spur 330 around 85-90mph or so as I was coming onto the entrance ramp. As I got closer I noticed he had a GoPro mounted on the drivers side of the car and the little red light was blinking LOL. Heard a loud exhaust, so figured he would be game to mess around a little for a spirited drive to work.

Due to traffic we only really had one chance to get side by side and do a little 50 to about 110 roll action. I heard him jump so I jumped and we're off. I had maybe a fender on him at the start and he was very very slowly reeling me in, and was still maybe half a fender back as we hit the brakes due to traffic.

I have to assume it had a few mods, besides the noisy a$$ exhaust.

Here's the thing. I have a 2014 Mustang GT premium, fully loaded, Automatic with only the factory 3.15 gears. On top of the car being absolutely bone stock, I was on a full tank of 87 octane fuel and had another 100 lbs of junk in the trunk. The only time I took this car to the track it went a best of 13.05@109 mph, again absolutely bone stock except at that time it was on about 1/4 tank of 93 octane. I can't imagine it being on 87 with the weight of a full tank and stuff in the trunk that it would be much faster than 13.30s-13.40s.

What I find funny is this black G8 had a GoPro on the side of the car at 5:20am on his way to work I presume. If he had a GoPro going he must think he's fast LOL. I'm sorry but if you can't pull away from a bone stock Coyote on 87 octane trash fuel and 3900 lbs, then you aren't fast LOL. I would consider my car fairly quick considering it is bone stock, but not fast enough to justify putting a GoPro on the side for a ride to work ha ha.

This is my daily and below is the race car.

could very possibly be a bone stock car with muffler deletes and a douche owner...

Maybe he had a bunch of crap in his car weighing 200 lbs and was just using the gopro to capture the sound of his exhaust or something else.

Who knows, being an LS based car I figured he might have been a member here LOL. I don't know much about those G8s. Someone on another forum said they've seen some run 12.90s bone stock but who knows. All I can say is my 2014 is bone stock and went 13.05@109 on 1/4 tank of 93 with no spare. I'm guessing the G8 was a low 13s to high 12s car. I know when I first started racing my old 90GT, I was running 12.teens@108-110 mph setup for the track with suspension and converter.

They also come in the v6 flavor...I'll be running my buddies 2011 roush stg2 soon. I still think stock for stock the ford will win. It would be close. 360hp and 4100lbs vs 414hp and whatever it weighs. I ran an isf, that car got me the 3rd time around. First two times he said he missed shifting. They produce a decent hp and he had full exhaust.

G8's are nice, but in stock form they aren't incredible or anything. I love my car personally, but I know it's limits.

I do know the difference in a G8 and a G8 GT with a V8 LOL. Definitely was an 8. My 14GT weighed in at 3800 on the scale without the spare tire and 1/4 tank of fuel. I suspect when I rolled with that guy I was a little over 3900. The 420 bhp advertised on the mustangs is on 93 pump, supposedly a little less on 87 octane.

Lol, Go-Pro on at 5:20am on the way to work in a high 12 second car. That would be funny in itself to see.

1bad03snake, have your friend post up the video.

Everyone has got to start somewhere, LOL. I remember when a 12 second street car was considered blazing fast. LOL.

I think I ran him in my old camaro on red bluff one day leaving school, pulled his G8. Seemed like a cool guy. I dunno why everyone has to get all mad about racing, it's supposed to be fun lol.

winters97gt

No, it's the fact that you have a Go-Pro rolling at 5:20am on a weekday on the way to work randomly. That's hilarious.

White90GT

Yes, I found it kind of humorous, but I was game to play around LOL. I think I saw the car again yesterday exiting 146 back onto spur 330, no go pro this time LOL.

My wife's G8 ran 13.05@107 with a canned Superchips tune, everything else was stock. 4185lbs with me in it. -400' da at RPR the night I ran it.. I was impressed with it for what it was...
