My best 60' was 2.216 - 1/8 8.8 - I havent tried on Idle I will try that next. 60' ft on
G8's are usually bad - I've seen some guys do a 60' 2.+ and get 12's on the 1/4 mile?? weird!! The numbers on these 4 door monsters are weird it all depends on your mods.
1/8 mile tracks do these cars no justice unless you have gears/converter/street slicks.

i suspect that just as with a GTO a catback isn't doing anything for you and is just an expensive sound mod until you get a lot higher up in HP. get a tune and on a cooler night you'll be in the 13s

Yeah, I've heard that the caback doesn't do much performance wise on a stock car. I'm probably going to do headers back to the axleback pipes and leave thse stock. I want the performance and a good sound, but not obnoxiously loud.

Unless you have a full engine and tranny tune, you're leaving at least a half second on the table in ET. You would be amazed how much timing is pulled at the starting line. The tune on my G8 made a night and day difference.

I ran my car with stock tune numerous times in hot humid weather in edinburg but it always ran 13.9 or better. After like 5k and a tune it dipped into 13.2x. If your going to the track in edinburg hit me up and i can check it out for u so u can see exactly what's going on with the scanner. I suspect your torque management is holding u back. Try using the paddle shift mode that sometimes helps.
