I normally don’t read or respond to kill stories…especially long stories, but this one I actually enjoyed.

I’ve been intrigued by the G8. Too bad GM is sell very few of them. I’m looking forward to the GXP.

I’m pretty sure a 328 wouldn’t be able to hang within a few cars from a roll, it would be more like buses.

as far as racing an evo I would bet alot of money that any stock evo would lose from a roll against a 335i or G8 GT.

335i traps 104ish in the 1/4 and the G8 GT is around 106.

stock evos have a tough time hittin 100, hell modded mid 12sec evos only do 106-108.

not even close to the grand am. Interior is pretty good but not overly fancy/high end so they could keep the price down, engine is a monster and it shifts real smooth, personally I think it could shift faster but it is real smooth, handles real well for a stock car, brakes are good for a stock car as well and the thing looks sooooooo badass in person.

I would absolutely own one if I didn’t just buy my Silverado. I don’t think you can beat the dollar per smile/horsepower/fun-as-shit-to-drive when you are buying a factory equipped car.

Why not just stock vs. stock? Tunes go further on certain cars…

Nice Kill. :tup:

Ran into a G8 GT on zeee highway over the summer and it was pretty even with my GTO. I might have had a lil up top. Guessing if I ran one at the track I might get it by a tenth or 2. I like them and may look into getting a GTP if I cant swing a CTS by next year. Not a fan of the lacking Nav though.

I love the new G8’s. However, i would be surprised if my evo didnt beat it. Some one rent one of those things again and let me know. I have an 05 evo VIII with just an aem intake and tune. I feel pretty confident in mine winning from a dig and roll.
