2009 G8 GT vs 2000 Z28 Posted By: RedScreaminMachine On: 11-20-2009 @ 12:14:05 Reply | Edit My friend and I were hanging out tonight and it was just a matter of waiting until it was time to go home when we both knew what would happen My friend has a 2000 M6 Z28. The car has 23,000 miles, flowmaster cat-back, SLP lid, and a tune. It made 315 rwhp and ran a best of 13.3 @ 109 mph. After beating my stock LT1 A4 and a stock LS1 M6 GTO I knew that this would be a real test for my car. First up, we went from a 20 mph roll. Three honks and we both hit it. I expected him to jump out and just leave me hard, but instead he slowly crept away, putting 1 car on me by 100 mph. Second we went from a dig. Three honks and we both hit it, with me jumping out about 1.5 cars on him. I held him off and was still holding a slight lead at 100 mph. At that point he came screaming by and was about 2 cars ahead by 120 mph. After that run he said he was worried that he wouldn't be able to catch me in a marked 1/4 mile on the street, and that he didn't like the fact that he wasn't beating me more than he was We went out for a third run at a markded 1/4 mile. Three honks and we both hit it. This time he got a much better launch and I only pulled about 1/2 a car in front. He slowly pulled past me and at the end of the marked 1/4 mile he was 1 car in front. Over all I was very pleased with my car's performance and he said that it really suprised him. Nothing like some close friendly races! -- Red 2002 Camaro Z28 M6 Blue 1994 Camaro Z28 A4 [ Edited on 10/01/2008 @ 12:16:44 ] Posted By: mrcrazyhimself On: 10-01-2008 @ 14:23:00 Reply | Top | Edit Wow, those G8's pack a punch -- 2000 Camaro- 3.8, 5- Speed.

After the few races I've had I think this car will run in the 13.6 range without a problem. -- Red 2002 Camaro Z28 M6 Blue 1994 Camaro Z28 A4 Posted By: roubenbird On: 10-06-2008 @ 16:05:14 Reply | Top | Edit Shouldn't you be breaking this car in? -- Being rebuilt, It'll take a while:
