Pontiac G8

anyone run one yet ? i was on deegan coming home from MD the other day and this guy wanted to play. I was allready exhausted from driving and did not want to budge, i moved out of his way and let him pass and he flew by. It wasnt the GT, but that car looks pretty aggressive. I must admit i kinda like the body look

Any 3rd Gen TL should cover the base model easily. GT is a mid/high 13 second car, although some lower 13's have been run with a little tweaking. It's a PORKER.

I like those cars. I'm not trying anything until I finish my CRX.

I have never heard a G8GT doing low 13's stock. We are talking stock cars here, not the modded ones.

Did you know.... there is a modded Hyundai Accent that does from 0 to quarter mile in 9 sec @ 142 mph?

I thought you were some 19~ 20 year old guy till you posted your age in the profile. What a surprise. Now you starting to talk like Dave_B.

I know you were. You did have a valid point though. The G8 that ran 13.1 had a re-flash. It's alot of bang for the buck, but it's still a Pontiac.
