08 SS/TC vs G6 GTP

This is my first post racing so I really don't do it much. I was coming home from the movies and I hurry up and pass three cars and make it to the right lane before turning. I guess I caught the attention of a G6 GTP and we meet at the next stop light.

I knew he wanted to run since he came up on the light pretty fast, so we both start out normal then I see him punch it and I follow. I was in 1st gear at the time and I spun until I threw it into 2nd. I don't like to go insane speeds so I let off midway to third around 70 miles per hour and I had about a half car on him. Needless to say I'd bet I could have had him more if I had some traction. Like I said I don't race much but this was fun

I like the look besides the gay wing on those cars. It was white, very nice.

Yeah my buddy has a black one around here and I was tuned with no bolt ons at the time I found the car to be very attractive but he sold it every once in a while I see it around and it still grabs my attention , I think they look sweet, but it wasn't even a match for me . Interior and stuff inside are a lot more pronounced then our balts thats for sure .. the chrome grill and body kits really make them look cool imo , wing no ..

They are damn pretty. But heavy unfortunately, and no manual with the 3.6. The 06 GTP's w/ 3.9 had the F40 6-spd as an option, but there's not many of those around.

There's an LE5 w/ 6-speed auto G6 coupe now. Surely a 16 second car.

my roomie has a G6 GT with the 3.5L it's goes pretty good for what it is. i think 0-60 is around 7.6 seconds. not a rocket by any means but it feels quick.. it's just too heavy ... good race!
