Thumbs up Cammed G8 vs GTR R35

Hey guys

Just a small run between
Bone stock GT R35 vs Full exhaust/Intake/Mild cam/Tune M6 G8
(Lumina SS around here) estimated around 420-430rwhp.

20 - 160mph both cars have one passenger.

I've dynoed 4-6 Bone stock GTR all of them made 425-440RWHP (we removed the driveshaft on the dyno...

On the street with AWD the car is close to 390-410AWHP and its 3800+lbs.
It doesnt take much to beat it.

The ls car sounds pretty sick.

I agree i thought it would have rolled out faster.

11.6's-11.8's in the 1/4 because it does so good from a stop w/ it's launch control an awd. Take away it's launch and its comparable to a low 12 second car from a roll, nothing a H/C LSX will have any problems with.

GTR's can beat C6 Z06 from a stop but are no match for them from a roll.

I understand this, but he's talking as if a CAI/Headers will get you to beat a GTR. H/C is another ballpark for your everyday joe.

Also, from my experience, most GTRs aren't stock either and they get up to 205mph (well this one guys in OK did, not sure if that's standard).

ive only seen one modded one. Now it was fast no doubt but i was expecting a little more. Hooked very well and did real well till about 100. Honestly the top end didnt impress me for how fast the car was everywhere else.

I would walk out on most ls cars for sure. Would take a decent H/C car. A nasty cam only car could give it a run but certainly not your average TQ2 cam with pacesetters car ( no offense to anyone )

lumina ss is sporting the ls3: a full bolton/cammed ls3 m6 ina car that weighs ?3900 pounds? should be a mid 11's capable car. a gtr is only a 11 second car due to its tranny breaking, warranty voiding launch control.

"cam only" (+boltons) ls3 cars routinely hit 480-510rwhp. <<< thats approaching 600 crank hp. want to revise that statement?

I sure dont. I was referring to gen 3 motors, which i assumed this g8 had. I didnt read the lumina part. I have only seen these things twice.

On the ls3 i agree.

I hear ya, but most LS1 guys are running heads/mild cam or just a big cam with full bolt ons and it wouldn't be a stretch to say 410-430 rwhp is the standard for the LSX community. LS3's reach 400+ rwhp just with bolt ons, too bad they are hefty.

Of course you turn the boost on a GTR and I'm sure they respond very well. Out here in So Cal you are lucky to see a stock GTR let alone a modded one.

I wonder how a stock 2010 LS3 vette will do from a roll against a stock GTR?

Im very impressed. He didnt just barely beat him, it was a pretty steady pull. Oh and I would like to see some timeslips of mid 11 sec full weight CAM ONLY G8's. Not saying its impossible but I would have to expect that it isnt the norm...

Great runs. This shows what I've been trying to tell the GTR fanbois I work with for some time now. Its fast out of the hole thanks to a heavy *** and AWD with good launch. Same as the 3000gt back in the day, you could cut 1.5 60' with street tires with ease and suprise people but it really falls off up top thanks to the gearing. Not saying there aren't some very fast GTR out there but its sure isn't the godmobile people try to make it out to be.

It will still do 190mph... the gearing isn't too bad. It "falls off" because it's a ~420whp 3,900lb car that runs the 1/4 mile times comparable to ~440rwhp 3,200lb cars.

LoL not true. GT-Rs are capable of 11s stock even without using LC. LC is completely covered under warranty now anyway and has also been improved to be faster and less stress on the transmission. The transmission is actually very strong in the GT-Rs, its holding 800+WHP in modified cars just fine.

Also all it takes is intake/exhaust/tune in a GT-R to go from a mid 11 second 121MPH car to a mid-high 10 second 130MPH car.

To the OP, nice video and quick G8.
