Ran a Pontiac G8 GXP - Vid inside
 

My cousin brought over his stock GXP...He couldnt wait to run my V. The video is at night so its not the greatest. We ran probably 10 times with the same outcome for each so I only included one.

It was cold that night (35 degrees) so we never ran from a dig...I couldn't hook for sht.

thats good to know. i thought it would be a lot closer. great job.

Damn nice outcome.

I thought it would have been closer as well. I went for a ride in his car before hand and I was a little concerned...that LS3 rips.

That's awesome!

Way to represent:chug::chug::chug:!!!
Of course if you would have lost, we would have started a 'Non-detectible Secret Mod Fund' for you.

ah yes, nice vid!

saw that last night on youtube, was wondering if it was an auto or stick?

Good to see! Thanks for posting! My buddy has a G8 GT thats been asking if ill go play around with him. I know the GXP is the bad boy of those pontiacs so if you drug that one that bad, ill def beat my buddy... lol

Nice man!! Way to represent!!! Is it an auto or manual?

Very nice run, I was sooooo close to getting a GXP instead of my V, glad you helped validate my purchase! lol

In that case, i raced a chrysler town and country last night and lost BAD. It had the swivel seats and all. PM me for my paypal account info and ill get started on my mods ASAP.

my guess is untuned auto, those things can be dogs from a roll with the sloppy auto programming that GM puts in them. I hear they are totally different animals with a tune and TQ management taken out. either way good kill.

Thats a very good point.

Ive been beat by lots of people... am i eligible for the free mod fund?? lol

I already started that fund for a Maggie. No worries.


The car was an automatic but it was tuned. In the video he manually had it in second and it ran real well. If you notice there was no honking to start the race. I waited for him to hit it first. It still took me all of 2nd and most of 3rd before I started to pull. Once I hit 4th it was over.

We tried a 1st gear roll at 20mph. He would pull almost a car length on me, the auto was no slouch. I wouldnt catch up till 3rd gear. The Auto hooked real hard where I would slip. It would be one tough race from a dig.

The issue was not the auto...I had to reel him in almost every race. Either way I'm real happy with the outcome and he was pretty pissed. I plan to get more video's now that it's gettting warmer.

I demand more vids!!

would of expected the other way around but nice.
side note why does it say stock but then u say it is tuned?

IMO the auto is why you pulled no doubt.If he was a M6, it would have been dead even.

The G8 GXP delivers a zero to 60 mph time of about 4.7 seconds, and a quarter-mile time of 13.0 seconds at 108 mph.

Power comes from a 6.2-liter LS3 small-block V8 engine delivering 402 horsepower and 402 pound-feet of torque.

More to come! No worries.

I thought it was 415 HP.

"GM's media site that shows the 6.2 liter LS3 V-8 engine from the Corvette transplanted into the G8 GXP generating 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque"

Do these V's run faster than a 13.0 bone stock?
