Thats a great race. And if you bet him by and inch you won like the video on the last page
the SS won on the first race and the G8 did a ricer fly by

I recently sold my monte ss for a g8 gt. at low speeds the monte and g8 will probably be even, however after 70 mph, the g8 begins to shine and the monte runs out of breath. most stoplight races are below 80 mph,so yes a driver's race.

man i wih i could have gotten a video, but i would have hit the rev limiter trying to drive/shift/film at the same time

I havent gotten mine on the dyno yet, just a street tune and i cant say i've raced a MCSS/GXP/ISS but the seat of the pants feel from my GXP to the G8 the day i traded the GXP and picked up the G8, the G8 felt faster all the way thru. If any of you guys are close to Milwaukee I will load my stock tune, put on my stock intake and settle this! LOL

From your video, it took around 15 seconds after he dropped back at his first-to-second shift. Full throttle for 15 seconds, starting at 20 MPH, plus whatever speed you were at when he fell back is some pretty serious MPH. Which is exactly what I described. I have had 3-4 runs up to the speed limit or slightly beyond (I save my real racing for the track, just my thing) and my first gear pulled G8 GT's every time. Not as severely, but it was clearly happening.

He hit the limiter in 1st in the first run in the video - which killed any momentum he was making. See the nose dive? Watch the second run, not even close lol. In the runs in the video, he was giving me 1/2 carlength and letting me go WOT first also. Now if we ran from a dig, the 1.9 60 foots the G8 gets is an instant advantage. BUT - anything can happen.

We've ran many times, I keep up a little in 1st gear, that's about it.

Good race, and it's cool to see that your not cocky. I test drove a G8, and wasn't all that impressed with its braking and handling. I didn't really get a chance to get on it though.. cause I had my cousin, his g/f and the salesman in the car. With the mods i have now, I'm sure I could give a stock one a run for it's money!
The dealership wanted 38,998 for it btw.

thanks man ^ , i was just surprised on the outcome and wanted to get on here and see if anyone else has raced any. i wasn't sure how these perform in bone stock form. i guess ill call it a kill sense i did beat him but if i meet up with a different one with a better driver it will probably end up different.

x2...my g8 gt was in every way faster than my monte SS at every gear and every speed. It sounds like he might have had enough weight and poor driving skills to get beaten by you. As others have said, at the end of the day if you're faster, you're faster. Good job beating one!

I tuned my cousins G8GT yesterday, made a HUGE difference from stock. They are REALLY held back from the factory.
