Default G8 GT vs Regal GS rematch with vids (Regal's been working out)

My buddy and I have ran each other a few times as he's been tweaking his setup. Every time he's gotten a bit faster, with the G8 coming out on top.

Here are the latest result:

The cars:

2009 G8 GT A6, bone stock, ran 13.52 @ 102.9 mph

1998 Regal GS, factory supercharged 3.8, full bolt-ons, cammed, dynoed 298 wheel hp on a dynojet

Both cars had one passenger.

First race was from a 45 mph roll with both cars in 2nd gear:

In that video, my buddy was trying not to get me in it, but you can see the Regal in my mirror. Once I pulled that bit on him you can see that he holds it there.

Second race was from a 30 mph roll with both cars in 1st gear:

Hell yeah, those things move out for sure! I always wanted to swap a blower onto my Grand Prix GT when I had it.

Wow, that Regal's running pretty well. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of those for a DD. I would probably keep it stock, at least I say that now...

Sweeeet. I'm happy as hell I can hold with your car. I know your trap is only 103 but the car runs a lot harder than that up top!

Yeah, the cars are definitely matched up very well! That blower puts out some nasty torque down low for sure.

To give you an idea of how your race would go, both the Regal and the G8 have beaten my friends 09 GM stage 1 Cobalt SS.

hmmmmmm
I was thinkin it would be a great run seeing as I should trap about 107/108 this year.

From a dig......game over for the cobalt. A roll would be rather interesting.
Did your buddy nail every no-lift-shift? Droppin out of boost while rollin next to a V8 = game over

The only race I have had since my tune was a 07ish GT
Not worth posting since it was boring.....but I pulled around him after he jumped on me.

It was definitely a very good race with the Stage 1 Cobalt, so I think it could go either way.

Isn't the Stage 1 kit supposed to be worth 20 horsepower? If so, I don't think that's gonna be enough to take you from 103 mph to 107-108 mph. You got something else up your sleeve?

20-30hp..........but about 40-60tq and really lessens lag
i just have the tune, k&n and muffler delete, 90% accurate on my NLS an lots of hopes and dreams

good running Eaton Regal! They are great sleepers.

Do you have a link for the mod list of the regal?

We'll have to get that thing out the track this year and find out! I know the ET will probably not be great, but your trap will tell the story.
