i could see that happening to a stock g8. but put some mods on the g8 and well, it is like the cobra. in stock form it not that fast a car. other than the 2011, but start modding it and watch out. just like your cars. they are sleepers, you can mod the hell out of them and they still sound stock but run fast as heck. thats why it's anybody's race on the street, take it to the track and then things change.

i think he meant 2011 GT, because the G8 does not pick up horsepower as easily as a cobra. As the G8 is NATURALLY aspirated. Didnt get a chance to video the run as i was returning from work, only person in the car, and no camera... As i said the car was most likely stock, judging by how hard i walked on him... Had the G8 GT been offered with a 6spd manual Id have bought it.... screw cylinder deactivation, give me the third pedal

yep! it's not called the cobra though. but it is. fully foged coyote 5.0. or what ever ford calls it. my win was just luck. but it just shows you that i beat the driver not the car.

Good kill. I think the G8's enjoy being tuned almost as much as SS/TC's.

The amount of torque management on the stock tunes is insane.

torque management saves warranty claims!
