Default Pontiac G8 numbers are in...

View Video on FQuick

Stock: 2.03 60ft, 13.39 @ 104.7
Tune: 2.00 60ft, 13.10 @ 107.5
100 shot: 1.96 60ft, 12.49 @ 114 mph

For what it's worth, this was at ATCO Raceway.

Not sure if this is a repost or not... I'll axe it myself if it is!

That car is far from ugly. Whats wrong with GM? Making a 4-door irs rwd car that does 13.1 and weighs 4000lbs? Thats a cool car in my book.

Peace,
Craig.

Hmmmm, good runs. It's funny most SRT Chargers here in the Bay Area that I've seen at Sac Raceway can even hit that fast, some have though

Damn I want one thats one of the sexiest GM cars being made currently imo. I still like the look of the SS Lumina though if they ever bring that to the states.

Damn good pass! Maybe a 13.40 car at a normal track. ATCO produces some crazy ETs.

To my knowledge the Lumina SS is basically the same save for the bumpers and spoiler

Can you say VHT? Great run though, what an awesome bargain of a family race car!! I can see that car with longtubes, intake, catback, pulley now........ Wicked. Heck, a semi-loaded Trans Am or SS cost what this thing does and many couldn't run those numbers! Great job GM!
