What did he say before taking off?

Is that a G8? either way that is scary fast. It sounded like those wheels could grip up in 1st.

Commodore SS - same as G8 without DOD.

That, my friends, is wheel hop. A sound I'm more than familiar with.

Not bad, but the car should hit 100mph in ~13 seconds on a good run, so it will be even faster than that ;)

Yea, i currently have a 06 cobalt ss/sc, and that, as stated above, is definitely WHEEL HOP... no question about it. The G8 is fast but it should get to 100 a little faster than that. I still want one, but i may wait till the GXP

Our simulated 1/4 mile on the dyno with stock tune put me at 103MPH in 14.13 sec. I know it's simulated, but still...my 01 GP GTP put up a 13.7 at 103 and I don't think it was nearly as fast as my now tuned G8.

Great vids on the 06 commodore/lumina models and perfect song to with it. I like to see that black caprice one in all white.
