ss/tc vs cop
Well actually an off duty one from canada/mexico... my car bone stock. His g8 v8 has headers, exhaust, torque converter 3k stall i think, dyno tune and intake. Did a 60 roll threw third and I nls into 4th. He pulled a fender threw third then I nls into 4 and we shut it down. Pretty surprise with the balt again.
Oh btw headers and a tune on a g8 sound AMAZING

Stock vs stock I would think a G8 GT would pull an SS/TC. And with his mods, he should easily be in the mid 12 second range. Maybe they just suck from a roll because of their auto's. Go race a G8 GXP with the 6spd and see what the outcome is, I'm interested.

From a dig I'm sure the GXP doesnt have that much of an advantage, but I'm sure from a roll the GXP with the manual probably has the advantage.

The car is not a gxp just isn't a roll race car. The converter took a sec to hook up he raced it from drive. Hes a great driver the car went 13.12 at the track last time know with new parts should be 12.9. Was a fun race I def lost he pulled on me just not as hard as I thought he would. I have NO reason to lie. Car owner is a friend of mine and is the best looking g8 around by far.
Have to keep in mind that the car is heavy and that hes only maybe putting down 350ish. If we were to dig it up it would have been no contest.

My bro has the same mods as this guy except the torque converter on his G8 GT. He put down 360whp and 380wtq. I have the same thing happen to me in the race as the OP. Only i'm tuned.

If I catch him out again I will run him otherwise I'm not going to waste my time to prove to you that I lost to a g8. He walked me just not a fast as I thought but I still lost. We talked for a while after it was funny he always says "damn I got all this money in this thing and I barely get away from you". Before he was modded it was a dead even race.
Hes should put a converter in the car the g8 I raced really woke up and had amazing response with the throttle.

He said the car is good for around 360 to the wheels. But this balt does love 40 degree highway pulls.
Talked to him and he said that the car will be getting a new tune cam ported heads and a blower next spring and lower compresion. So this car will be awesome come summer.
