I want a sammich too....someone make me a sammich in between those shifts......



Good comparison. With proper shifting/trans fixed the 392 would have it covered.

it didnt put up a good fight because it was driven like ****. A 392 should kill a G8 with those mods. My 6.1 does

I still haven't got a chance to run a 392. Every time one comes around its a rookie who just got it so I don't even bother.

Its got the same trans that the camaro SS got the TR6060.

It might be an improvement but I wouldnt consider the 6.1 Hemi sluggish at all. You must be thinking of the 2.7.

Nice runs, I like the G8's.
Never been a fan of the HEMI's. Then I took my truck to a performance shop to look at something and he was tuning like a 2008 300 SRT8. I saw it had a custom sheet metal manifold and just had to ask about it. It dyno'd to the wheels around 1077rwhp and ran low 10's with full interior. It had twin turbo's of course. I became a fan after that. Had over $100,000 invested though, I didn't care for that.

Sure, what would you like? Ruben, BLT, PB&j?

Agreed, the old 6.1s were and still are stout motors. Hell, they make more power than a comparable ls2 stock with damn near same displacement. Just the fact they were shoved in between the fenders of a land yacht kept them from doing as well as they should.

Nice! Fix that trans and re-race!

Yikes! Stay away from the GXP G8. It will eat your lunch by the looks of it.

OP, tell your wife to trade in that junk 6M Challenger for an automatic version. They're actually faster than the manual by a good margin.

Intake/Tune GXP vs Stock Auto 392

Exactly the 3rd pedal wasn't made for everyone..

Exactly!! One youtube race determines outcome of all others.

No but a G8 GXP isnt capable of low 12's stock like a 392. Clear winner. A Stock G8 GXP and a 6.1 SRT8 are a drivers race.

But if a decent driven GXP ran into a 392 with a less than desireable driver like the one in the vid, wouldn't it be possible for the 392 to get beat? Especially intake/tune? Yes.

willys srt8

Yes because anything can happen on the streets. But, are you comparing the capabiliteis of the cars or the drivers?

NiteRiderWS6

Of course. Most 6m 392 guys will lose to slower cars everytime

why87

I'm comparing the two with the combination of car/driver. Slower car/better driver=win/dead even. Faster car/lesser driver=dead even loss. G8/better driver vs. 392/**** driver....what do you think would happen? The car isn't fast enough to make up for the poor driving.

why87

Most? So which is the slower car at that point?

Any car with a bad driver can get beat by a slower car, I can't believe this is even arguable. A 392 Chally went 12.0 with just a tire. The G8 GXP has slightly less HP then the LS3 Camaro. The 392 will kill the LS3 Camaro, and will kill the G8 GXP the same. IMO, the GXP is in line with the GTO stock for stock, a handful more rwhp, but 300 lbs heavier. No comparison to the 392 vs any NA OEM ls3 on the market right now with equal driver's


Edit: Forgot the Corvette....that's a different story

GotHemi?

All things being equal the 392 is the faster car period. You could put me in a Geo Metro and my mom in a C6Z and id bust her *** everytime. Why compare drivers? technically every race is a "drivers race" no matter what two cars are racing.

I will say this tho. Any way you slice it that G8 moved out well!! Good kill!
