05 CTS-V vs 08 G8 GT
Last weekend i raced a mostly stock g8 gt
we raced 4 or 5 times with the same result.
g8 mods exhaust no cats and a dyno tune A6 310hp.
V mods muffler delete and tune M6 no dyno numbers.
from a 40 roll we were side by side no body pulled dead even!
25 roll i pulled half a car down low but thats it side by side the rest of the race.
I really expected to pull him.. but overall a damn close race.
Im getting rid of my cats and replacing the resonator with an x pipe maybe that will give me the power i need to pull him.

The G8 is no slouch with a tune and an intake. It was driving a totally different car after I added those mods. Plus the stock trans tune is lame, so the tune also makes the A6 shift so much better too. Add some headers, remove the DOD and add a nice cam, and it really unleashes the power since it has LS3 style high flow heads.

I'm going to the exhaust shop this weekend to get the cats taken out and a x pipe put in.
I will update and let you know the results. I think the cats are really holding me back.
I cant afford headers at the moment so this is my cheap way out.

Hey Screamin: what is your MPG? I'm looking for a daily driver and always loved the G8's. If I got it I'd just keep it to CAI, Tune, LT's, and ported intake. All the things that should free up power without hurting fuel economy.
