Well, I got access to the street race section of the site, so I figured it was time to start contributing 🙂 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: **DIG:** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsIqdhY12yM](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsIqdhY12yM) **40 MPH ROLL:** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y\_eYk\_t3vJ0](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_eYk_t3vJ0) Against a 2008 Shelby GT, 5-speed. They are rated 330 horsepower I believe. **20 MPH ROLL:** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FggoXGPVDKw](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FggoXGPVDKw) **45 MPH ROLL:** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOFuc-1c1Q0](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOFuc-1c1Q0) Against a stock Hyundai Genesis. **Probably a 40 ROLL:** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMMgkJSCcWs](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMMgkJSCcWs) Against a 2006 WRX WRX, 5-speed, full turbo-back exhaust, STi turbo and intercooler, tune **40 ROLL:** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0hqvrTHZeQ](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0hqvrTHZeQ) Against a 1999 Trans Am, auto, lid, mid-length headers, high flow cats, cat-back, shift kit, ported intake and throttle body **DIG:** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inckt6zMLiQ&feature=related](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inckt6zMLiQ&feature=related) Hope you guys enjoy the videos, I know they were a blast to make! :beer EDIT: IS THERE ANY WAY TO EMBED VIDEOS?

> [@SSmokinn SS"](#): > > nice man!! You like to run with the G8, dont ya? 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. ---
