Default 01 Z -vs- 09 G8 GT

These two cars are ours.Both stock sans mufflers for the g-8.We bought the Z so the wife could have something to go play in when we go to the track,instead of taking the g8 all the time(it is her company car).

The Z is in GREAT shape,and is a A4.We plan on several mods for the Z,but argue about a stock vs stock winner of the two.The G8 has ran a 8.8 in the 1/8th.I thought maybe the difference in wieght would tip the scale in the Z's favor.I may eat crow though!

What do you guys think?

I had a 09 G8 GT for a year... my grandma now drives it... I ran a high 13 in it with an intake and an exhaust. I'd rather have an Fbody over a G8GT any day!

The G8 GT has basically 20 more HP but weighs 600 lb more. Its not hard to figure out.

bone stock A4 Z with stock stall and gearing is gonna be a damn close race with the G8,ill give the edge to the G8 due to gearing.

well, the Z went a 8.74 @ 83 with a 2.05 60, in 90 degree heat..


I believe a .60 is not out of the question on a cool evening night.
