I think from a roll or a street dig I would have been a damn good run for him. We'd be trapping in the same area. I might have a few interesting runs for him. I need to hit up ZMG since he's a full bolt-on LS1 but he's got some good tires and like 4.56s. That'll give giraffeboy as much as he can handle for a bolt-on LS1.

this classic G8 vs 3 valve race reminds me of when me and SRZ raced when I had my old shelby GT. Race was DEAD even the entire run. I couldn't believe those G8's were so damn quick!

I forgot for you younger guys several months is old. I remember waiting several months for a letter, no internet back then, during the gulf war so I guess I have a different view of old. Its all good I was entertained and that is what matters to me. You young phuckers have a good night. 
I hope that doesn't sound like I'm pissed off or bashing anyone, too many beers for me.

Really I was giving you a hard time, and I saw irony in the fact that you called me out on calling something old, especially when...well, enough cane jokes have been thrown around, I'll give it a rest
Remember when I first started posting in SRK and picked an argument with you over your sarcasm toward Ford? Too funny! Dumb n00b.

I think every Ford guy that comes on here picks an argument with me. I think its funny. If they knew me they wouldn't do it though and they usually figure out pretty quickly I'm just messing around. Its pretty easy to tell when I am being serious. It doesn't happen very often on the internet.

.I have noticed that the G8 doesn't hit hard when you throw down the hammer, and if it wins it's usually due to a pull as the race plays out, rather than an initial jump.
Nightmare's car was a 5-speed.

I am amazed how quick and refined they are. When I test drove a stock G8 GT it felt slow but then I looked up trap speeds and average times and was like 
Thankfully I'm buying some nitrous this weekend for a steal to make the LT1 a bit more enjoyable while we piece together the LQ4/Turbo build

I find the best rolls to be any speed that puts the engine around 4000 rpm or just above. That allows me to manually choose the gear I want and then, after I punch it, it gives me time to click it over into drive and than back to sport shift mode so that it shifts itself.

I've never raced a 2010 GT, but I raced NightmareTA's Shelby GT and one other 2005-2009 GT that I pulled a 1/2 car on, but never got to talk to the guy.

I'll pass along the shift technique.Weird, when I rode in this G8, it felt much quicker than my car felt. Feels much stronger than any bolt-on LT1 I've been in.

My g8 ran a 13.4@106 bone stock with paper tags and 650 miles. Its a quick car for what it is. As was mentioned earlier the stock tune has a TON of tq managment on down and upshifts so the g8 doesnt really "jump" from a roll with the stock tune. Manual mode and then smacking it back into sport is the best way to go.
