2009 G8 GT Baseline Dyno
 

I bought this car in September 2008 and have loved every second with it since. To date is it has remained bone stock. I've made 3 quarter mile passes in the car with a best run of 13.52 @ 102.9 mph. The car currently has 7700 miles on it and I'm getting the itch to start tinkering, so I figured I'd finish out the baseline info with some dyno runs.

These numbers are on a Dynojet, SAE corrected, with the smoothing set to 5. The transmission is an A6 and the car was dynoed in 3rd because 4th would hit the speed limiter. There is no 1:1 gear in these transmissions.

Now that it's all ready to go I'm going to get my battle plan ready and try to make the car even more fun :chug:

cool, what do you think your going to do?

looks about right, buddy of mine pulled around 350 with long tubes, cai and a tune

Gawd, I don't know how you can live with the car with out the tranny tuned and some of the torque reduction taken out. It is a huge difference. Get it tuned ASAP!!! :judge:

I definitely want to get it tuned, but didn't want to change anything without a baseline first. Now that I have that taken care of I really want to get it tuned. I always hear how badass these cars drive after and I want to get in on that action!

My initial plans include a CAI, 75 shot, and tune. I also want to try removing the factory exhaust resonators in the hopes that it helps the car sound like a V8 instead of a V6 :lol: After that I'll probably start messing with the exhaust and swap my 19" wheels for a set of 18" wheels so I can get a drag radial on the car.

Nice, the wife really wants a G8 GT but im still kinda wanting that new 5.0 Stang. I really like these G8's though.

These don't have a 1:1?! Odd.

CANNOT WAIT to own a G8. And one of the first things I will do is headers exhaust and tune. And more than likely that will all it will have performance wise. I already have 1 money pit :bang:

yup no 1:1 on the auto tranny. The stick still has 1:1 in 4th though

Nice numbers and car.

I haven't been on a dyno, but with Vector tune, roto-fab and Corsa cat-back mine will squeal going into 2nd and bark 'em going into 3rd. You are going to LOVE it when you start modding your car, especially the trans tune. Good luck.

Our cars closest 1:1 ratio is 4th gear.

Sounds fun! I've always had a love for the G8 GT. Now if only I wasn't yearning for toys that need a truck to haul them

thats right screamin.....im lurkin over here :)

i love the G8's and im looking for a local for some action :p

I love my 2009 G8 GT I have a cold air intake with American Racing Long tubes and a Corsa Exhaust and Dyno Tunned at 357RWHP and 361 FTlbs Tq Really is an amazing car ever since I bough tit brand new.
