I went to GLD with a friend who also has a G8 GT, and he ran against a blown SRT8 Challenger. He had him most of the way down the track, but at the end the guy slipped past him. If the Challenger wasn't blown he would have taken him easily. He ran 13.30 with a tune and a CAI, pretty good considering it was hot and the track was lousy. He also has a 9 second Camaro, so he really knows how to launch.

I didn't run my car tonite, the staging lanes were at a stand still for over 2 hours because a guy in a 9 second Grand National hit the wall. The car suffered a little front end damage and it pushed in the rear quarter. He was ok though, but he wasn't able to run the rest of the night. I talked to a guy who had a brand new G8 GXP at the track, but since it had 300 miles on it he didn't want to run it. My friend only got one run in and here it is.

Although gold dust is precious, when it gets in your eyes, it obstructs your vision.

A stock GT and a stock SRT8 are fender to fender in the quarter. A tune and CAI on a GT will shave off about .5 second, and as you can see it takes a blower on the SRT8 to give it the edge. They have traction issues, so a good set of sticky tires would probably put it in the mid to low 12's with a good driver.

There's no doubt in mind that my buddy can out drive the guy in the Challenger, it didn't seem like he had done much racing before. I want to see him run the bad azz Camaro sometime, it sounds like that thing is wicked. He also has a Chevelle that runs consistent 10's. Here's some pictures of both of his cars. By the way, he drives the Camaro on the street.
