Default 2009 G8 GT Baseline Dyno

I bought this car in September 2008 and have loved every second with it since. To date is it has remained bone stock. I've made 3 quarter mile passes in the car with a best run of 13.52 @ 102.9 mph. The car currently has 7700 miles on it and I'm getting the itch to start tinkering, so I figured I'd finish out the baseline info with some dyno runs.

These numbers are on a Dynojet, SAE corrected, with the smoothing set to 5. The transmission is an A6 and the car was dynoed in 3rd because 4th would hit the speed limiter. There is no 1:1 gear in these transmissions.

Now that it's all ready to go I'm going to get my battle plan ready and try to make the car even more fun

Great cars. Mine made similar power bone stock. Have fun modding it.

Thanks guys! It's right in the range where I thought it would be. Now I just have to decide which route I want to take. Maybe start with a small shot of nitrous.

The first thing I want to try is removing the resonators. Eventually I will do headers, etc, for more power, but for now I'm just hoping I can get it to sound a little better.

NemeSS, I vote white. These cars look great in that color for some reason.

You should contact Parish8. He's selling his white 2009 G8 with twin turbo and built tranny for 32k. It runs 10s and is as smooth and quiet as a stocker. Probably the best G8 in the country if you want a fast one.
