That would be pretty damn interesting and fun. I was thinking more along the lines of a centrally placed dragstrip with a great spot for some street fun. Kind of like TX2K--
. Should be a sweet time!I think I'm the shortest of the group but you aren't saving any weight with me, lol.

G8s a great from a dig and a roll and a digging roll and a rolling dig I took a Charger R/T from 75 MPH roll once. It was one of those situations where you're cruising just a bit faster than the other guy, and he decides you're not passing. He stomped on it as I pulled along side. Well, what the heck, why not? I had two lengths on him by the time I hit 120. We caught up to traffic pretty soon after, so he didn't another chance to show his personality.
My route to work takes me through a tight cloverleaf (IL-394 NB to US-294/80 WB) which usually has something big and slow on it - Murphy's law. 294, however, has a bunch of dirt-track wannabes on it, and they don't any slack - or do anything less than 80. Coming off the ramp at 40, behind a sting of minivans and trucks, can be a bit unnerving. It would drive me nuts to do that in my wife's Camry. But the G8? No prob. Just look at the traffic you're merging into, find a hole, mash the pedal and aim for it. The car won't disappoint.
Oh, and following the theme of this thread - I'm taller

Your car sounds pretty good. Then again I'm used to hearing stock Honda's with 4" fart cannons attached to them.
