Well, I got access to the street race section of the site, so I figured it was time to start contributing :slight_smile:

These races all took place throughout this past year.

My in these videos is a 2009 G8 GT. Rated 361/385, it dynoed 301 rwhp and 318 rwtq. The transmission is a 6-speed automatic and the car weighs 4000 without driver.

Against a 1999 Camaro SS, 6-speed, with a lid and catback:

Damn lol.

It’s a blast to drive and very comfortable. It’s not as fast as the Z28, so it opens up a whole different group of cars for me to race against and have fun.

Also, the 6-speed auto makes it alot better from a roll than the older 4-speed auto fbodies and such.

A real 6 speed would be even better!

The GXP is available with a manual 6-speed. For me, I would have gotten the A6 even if an M6 was available on the GT. I have my Z28 when I want to bang gears and wanted a car with an auto that I could throw 4 people in comfortably, but would still be a fun.

gotcha
