Hey Guys and Gals,
Has anyone ever taken the V6 to the track? I am very curious as to how it would run the quarter mile. I think I have read like 15.2 at 92 MPH but I'd love to hear if anyone has any real life numbers on that. I recorded a 0-60 run on my phone and breaking it down by frame I did it in 7.3 seconds which is better than the 7.6 all of the testers have recorded. It was done in an 08 overstocked one with less than 1000 miles back in August of 2009 so it still had cob webs on it. It has since felt faster but haven't had the road condition to test it since. Its been snowy and salty for a while now. Would love to hear anyone else's experiences.
I'd attach the file but it is not valid. Its a .3gp file

Nothing offical, but here is what I posted in the V6 tech section on my results after putting in a exhaust system. '08 G8 V6 loaded with auto.
"On another note, I did get out and play a little with the G tech I picked up. I got 2 runs in for the 1/4 mile before the cops showed up and I had to quit testing. Temp was 77 and I'm near sea level, less than 100 ft above.
I didn't try anything fancy as I was just starting to learn (http://www.g8board.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8864#) the G tech. I put the car in sport mode and left it. Traction control was on. I did nothing more on the launch than hit the gas. Best 1/4 was 14.8 @ 101.4 MPH. 0-60 averaged 6.5 out of 4 runs.
I was just getting used to running the G tech and was setting up to do some launches from 2000 RPM's when the CHP showed up so I figured my luck was running out and I left the area. I'll try some more runs when I get a chance.
As noted, only mods are Royal purple oil and the Magnaflow prototype cat back system with GT tips. had a little over 1/2 tank of gas and was running regular gas. I weigh in at 220 lbs."
Anyone got some time slips? Or road event slips?

My car was really powerful over the winter. It seems to have slowed last weekend when we had 70 degree weather. I say it gains 40 % more power (feel) in the cold air.
My alyima gains like 10 % in feel of power
