I only need to hold it together for one run lol
I think on 16psi pump gas it'll be right around 500whp.

Thanks! Yeah, the driveline after the motor is all factory stock. It could really use some gears, but I gotta get tires first.

With gears/converter you have a mid 11 second car, easy.

What gear is in the car right now? In the TA the converter made the car so much more fun than any other mod I did at that time.

The DA was -1840 by the end, which I don't believe is reflective of what the car will run, due to crazy good air, but my best run was 12.02 @ 118.4 mph. I will not be updating my sig until I get to LVD in normal weather conditions.
I would claim it. The conditions were great but big deal. Your tall dr's probably hurt you more than the conditions helped you. That's what it looks like to me. Hell convert it back to 0 da if it bugs you. Doin that with a big 4dr car on stock wheels/tires is rockin!

Love how that G8 leaps forward when it goes WOT!


Off topic: if anyone hasn't tried the new "Black heart" spiced rum...it's good.

We need to get all three of us together sometime. I think it would be great runs on all sides.

Stock are 2.92's. I'm gonna go with a 3.27 or 3.45, not decided yet. Stall is definitely on the list

My cars always run so much faster at Atco that it's outrageous. Going off these numbers it looks like my car is just as fast as it was before on the 150 shot, but in reality it's about as fast as it was on the 75 shot.

Agreed..I'm suprised.

I'm in for actual track times..launching off the tree and down the 1/4..leave the roll races to the honduh's.

Cecil and MIR also run great times... but having said that you can watch the vids from these half *** mom/pop tracks that God only knows how accurate they are and make the same statements as it's funny when a guy in Texas will run the same or better than guys in the northeast with less work done lol...

The DA was between -400 - -1200 today at atco but negated with a 10mph headwind (like usual, evident by the American flag flying back into your face at the Tree)


Good runs....


PS Screamin: On a side note, that Silver CTS v i mentioned in the other kill thread (C6z v CTS v) ran this today.....


pedalin' at the 330 (Atco's VHT tractor sprayer machine took a **** and they could only do the first 90ft or so.. it sucked)

next to the 9.5 @148mph ZR1.

Great and even race!! I give the edge to the G8, seems to pull a bit better! This G8 sound is music to my ears!!

Props to Juice for not backing out from the race and to record it too!! That Buick rolls hard!!

Thanks man! The Regal definitely starts pulling on me good up top. I'd love to see it with traction enough to brake boost.
