F-body felt faster (TA with Intake and 3.73s).
G8 handles just as well without the harshness, gets better mileage, rides better, has better seats.
A Tune really wakes up the G8..it still feels a bit slower than my TA, its probably a mid 13s car.
F-body more fun at the strip or with T-tops off, but any kind of long trip G8 wins hands down.

Hey,
I was wondering if anyone here went from an F-body to a G8. I'm trying to sell my F-body at the moment. Can you tell me any pros/cons? My Hawk is a 6spd manual, so the GT is going to be an auto. To be honest, the auto wouldn't bother me, as I would more than likely get a tune and stall. This would be my DD as well. How is the aftermarket for these cars? I've been researching a bit and it actually seems to be quite strong. Any feedback would be great!!
I really like the Stryker Blue, but the Liquid red is just sexy!!

As for the speed comparison, I've raced an A4 'Vert '00 WS6 with lid, exhaust only, so comparatively stock, and the difference was 1 1/2 - 2 cars. Mine's completely stock BTW, and the power nor weight wasn't the difference, it was the trans. Every "granny shift" that this crappy TCM Tune has set, the TA would lurch forward. After 4 shifts, those accumulated lurches proved to be the difference. That was from a 30 roll. From a dig may be a different story as the G8 is a killer out of the hole. With a proper aggressive TCM tune, they're a whole new monster.
