very good point jp. i really dont think these g8 gt's are what everyone makes them out to be. i mean they are fast yes, and there amazing cars and i want one. but i really dont think they are that much faster if faster then gp gxp. like i said if i get to i will race one and film this weekend for you guys
Be careful, that one runs 12s stock, lmao.
35-40 roll always resulted in me winning.
Sounds like the Imp was a bit off.
EDIT: Have proof, William, or is it just a feeling? Because like I said before, the 6 speed can make it 'feel' faster. Hell my friend's Si 'feels' faster because it's a 6-speed.

But anything definitely can happen, not all G8's run up to potential, there's some locals that are running high 13's and low 14's due to lack of driver mod. Throw pretty much an intake and tune on the G8 and it shouldn't even be a contest. My brothers ran 13.0 @ 107 with intake and tune.

DA was rough on my run. DA fixed it was 13.6 @ 101, with a 2.1 60'.
G8's have the RWD advantage on launch. I've heard G8s running mid-14s, as well.
And I know how much an intake and a 93 octane tune wakes them up.
In most random encounters, I'm sure the G8s aren't in performance shift, which would make a little difference.

track times are tracks times, they have nothing to do with "street" races, i pulled on a bone stock GT, all i had was cutout open. i would say also bad driver in the GT but i still pulled on him from a dig, but i guess its highly impossible.

Kewl race!! I raced my friends G8 GT and I was about a half to a full behind him from a dig. And his gears just started pulling from that point....he has axle back exhaust, K&N intake and a tune on it,........
did ever race them? i asked before and you said it was just the feel.
is this in the driver seat or passenger? sometimes it feels faster in the passenger seat but thats just me
