Default 99 T/A vs. 09 G8

This guy apparently wanted to try out his G8. He stomped it at a 25 roll. I didn't even know this guy wanted to race until he shot a car length ahead of me. I went WOT and in no time put 2-3 cars on him. Sounded stock. I read where they are rated at 361 horsepower. No idea on the weight. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the 400+ horsepower GXP model.

Good kill! They run strong, but stock they don't have anything for a bolt-on LS1 fbody.

I'm reading where the curb weight for the GT model is 3995 pounds.

They weigh in at right around 4000 without a driver, but I don't have a problem with that since it's a 4 door sedan. Obviously less weight is always better, but on a car like the G8 or the Charger it's forgiveable. Take something like the Challanger though and it's completely unacceptable.

At least Poncho has been trying albeit with 3800+ lb cars. Where's the new camaro anyway??? Are those things hitting the streets yet? figured I would see a ton of them by now @ <$30k.

The new Camaros are out. I've seen a couple here and there. It's like when any new car comes out, at first you're looking everywhere and hardly seeing any, and after a while you won't be able to walk in your living room without seeing one parked on your couch.
