Default My Wife's Kill List in our G8 GT

We had an event last weekend in my hometown called Burning of the Bricks. Basically it's a car show/cruise/drag day out at the airport. I drove my '02 TA and my wife drove her G8 GT (completely stock) and won the women's class!!! The races had a sportsman tree out there, and I was tickeled to death as she was NAILING the tree on every pass!!! Here is her kill list from all the races, starting w/ the truck she beat out to win!!

'03 SS Silverado - Vortech Supercharger w/ 6psi, Full exhaust, tuned
'01 Mustang GT- flowmaster exhaust
'07 Charger Daytona Hemi- flowmaster exhaust
'02 Mustang GT- full exhaust, U/D pulley, programmed, CAI

She did manage to lose a couple though, but to some pretty STOUT cars!!

'07 Mercedes SL55 AMG V8 Kompressor (Supercharged)
'07 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

The SS Silverado was her closest competitor, but none of the others were even close! I have a vid of the final run to put up when I get time!

The best news of the day though was when she pulled up after losing to the Mercedes SL55 AMG and said, "I want as much done to this car as possible, so get to work!!!" I'm loving it!!!!!!

That's awesome! I got my GF to take her SLK350 to Sears one day. She finished 4th in the brackets with a rookie mistake. Ran 14.1s @ 99mph with only about .03 variance. It was a fun time!

What were her ETs and trap speeds (along with the others)??

Good kills, especially on the truck. ETs and traps? I'm curious to know what the G8s can do!

Yea it was a blast!! As for ETs and traps, the only thing they had there was the tree, nothing else since it was at the airport. Our local tracks been having TNT's every other weekend and up until now she hasn't had any interest in racing it. But now she is!!!
